# African corridors and routing

> How RemitFlex approaches stablecoin routing for African and diaspora payment flows.

RemitFlex is built for teams moving value **into, across, and out of African markets** using stablecoins as the settlement layer. We do not replace local bank rails today — we make stablecoin collection and conversion programmable so your product can sit on top.

## Why stablecoins for Africa

Traditional cross-border flows into Africa are slow, opaque, and expensive. Stablecoins offer:

* **24/7 settlement** — no cut-off times or weekend delays
* **Transparent fees** — on-chain fees + quoted FX, not hidden correspondent charges
* **Programmable addresses** — generate a deposit route per customer or invoice
* **Treasury control** — hold USDC/EURC, convert when rates are favourable

RemitFlex gives you one API for same-chain swaps and cross-chain collection — no need to integrate multiple protocols yourself.

## Typical flows

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Diaspora remittance">
    A user abroad holds USDC. Your app creates a **payment route** or **swap** to deliver EURC or another stablecoin to a recipient wallet on Solana or another supported chain.

    Best for: crypto-native recipients, treasury prefunding, B2B supplier payments.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Platform collection">
    A marketplace or payroll platform creates a **payment route** per merchant or pay run. Payers send from any supported origin chain; funds arrive at your configured destination.

    Best for: aggregating pay-ins before internal ledgering.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Treasury rebalance">
    Your treasury holds USDC; you need EURC for European partners. Create a **swap**, deposit USDC to the address returned, receive EURC at your destination wallet.

    Best for: FX exposure management on Solana.

## Discovering corridors

Use the API to list what is available today — do not hardcode:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.remitflex.io/v1/payment-routes/corridors \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REMITFLEX_API_KEY"
```

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.remitflex.io/v1/payment-routes/chains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REMITFLEX_API_KEY"
```

For Solana pairs:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.remitflex.io/v1/rates/currencies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REMITFLEX_API_KEY"
```

## Roadmap: local fiat

Local currency off-ramp (e.g. NGN, KES, GHS to bank accounts) is not live in the API yet. When it ships, it will follow the same pattern: create intent → fund → track in the transactions ledger.

Until then, pair RemitFlex stablecoin rails with your own local payout partners where needed.
