Conduit, a leading cross-border payments platform powered by stablecoins, announced its partnership with Braza Group, which owns the largest foreign exchange bank in Brazil. Braza Group is Conduit’s biggest client in Brazil to date, allowing Conduit customers to transfer currency between Brazilian Reais and American Dollars or Euros and settle in just a few minutes, using Onchain FX where stablecoins pegged to different currencies can be swapped in real time.
“Creating seamless on-ramps between fiat and digital currencies, together with Onchain stablecoin FX swaps, has the potential to completely transform how cross-border payments are made,” said Kirill Gertman, CEO of Conduit.

Braza Group processed more than $67 billion in transactions in 2024 and launched its BBRL stablecoin, pegged to the Brazilian Real, in February 2025. Through this innovative new partnership, when a Conduit customer uses the platform to make payments from Brazil to the U.S. or Europe in Brazilian Real, Braza Group will mint a stablecoin, which Conduit can swap for a U.S. or EUR dollar-backed digital currency, completing the transaction with the final recipient.
This new partnership strengthens Conduit’s mission to build the most seamless and scalable payments network in the world, enabling settlements between Brazil and the U.S. or Europe in just two minutes — a sharp contrast to traditional systems that can take up to three days. By combining Braza Group’s liquidity and investments in stablecoins with Conduit’s global reach, the partnership unlocks the full potential of Onchain FX at scale. Clients will be able to easily switch between stablecoins and fiat currencies and settle global transactions quickly.

Conduit’s platform bridges crypto-native infrastructure with traditional finance, offering nearly instant, programmable global transactions with integrated AML, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring built in. This new partnership with Braza is the latest in a growing line of major milestones since it launched its platform in September 2023. In late May, it announced a $36 million series A fundraising round, and its transaction volumes surged 16x in 2024, surpassing $10 billion in annualized payment volume. Working with Braza further strengthens two of Conduit’s core value propositions, its ability to settle global transactions quickly and efficiently, and provide deep liquidity through its platform to ensure transactions can be settled without constraints.
