01 The problem

Correspondent banking was built for another century.

A payment into or out of Latin America still hops through a chain of intermediary banks, each adding cost, delay, and a new place for things to break. Rio removes the middlemen: one counterparty carries your payment from start to finish.

03 How it works

One payment. Four clean steps.

Step 01

Initiate

Tell us who gets paid, where, and in which currency, by API or from the dashboard.

Step 02

Convert

Rio handles the FX at the same sharp pricing as our trading desk. One transparent rate.

Step 03

Deliver

Funds arrive on local rails, to your account or a third party's.

Step 04

Confirm

Delivery confirmed with a full record of the payment: rate, path, and timing.

04 What you get

Payments that behave like software, not plumbing.

Both directions

Collect payments in the US and transfer them to Mexico, or collect payments in Mexico and transfer them to the US. Same integration, either way.

Third-party payments

Pay suppliers, partners, and customers directly, not just your own accounts. Receive from third parties too.

FX built in

Every cross-border payment benefits from Rio's liquidity and FX routing engine. No separate FX provider or hidden fees in the middle.

One integration, more corridors

As Rio launches new currencies, new corridors light up in the same API. No re-integration required.
