About ALIF.
ALIF is a US dollar account for people and businesses whose money crosses borders. It is currently in development.
What ALIF is
One account, held in US dollars, for getting paid from abroad, paying people in their own currency and spending with a card.
Local currencies are how money arrives and leaves. The balance itself is always in dollars.
Why we are building it
Getting paid from another country usually means a local bank, a payment platform, a currency converter and a card that don't talk to each other.
For people and companies whose work already crosses borders, we think one dollar account can replace most of that.
How we think about infrastructure
Underneath, ALIF settles in a US dollar stablecoin, which moves between countries every day of the week. Customers don't handle it: they see dollars.
Where money enters or leaves a local banking system, it moves on that country's own payment rails.
Licensed partners
ALIF is a financial technology company, not a bank. Regulated services, such as holding customer money, issuing cards and local payouts, will be provided with appropriately licensed partners in each market.
