The Problem

Receiving the money is the easy half

Most freelancers paid in stablecoins end up building their own setup out of tools that were never meant for it.

  • Exchange accounts hold withdrawals for verification at the exact moment rent is due
  • Some exchanges have stopped opening business accounts in certain countries
  • Banks refuse incoming funds with a crypto origin, or freeze them pending compliance checks
  • Self-custody wallets give you no clean route to a bank account and no record tied to an invoice
  • The money and the paperwork live in separate places, and you are the one reconciling them
  • Small invoices get punished by fixed wire fees when clients pay the traditional way

The Solution

One account for the whole cycle

The Request Business Account gives you a single place to invoice, receive, spend and withdraw. Send an invoice in the currency you want, your client pays by bank transfer or in stablecoin, and the payment stays attached to the invoice. From there, pay your own suppliers directly, or move the funds to your bank account when you prefer to hold euros or pounds.

Rudy Kadoch

CEO, Nested Finance

Request gave me structure. It gave me a workflow to manage supplier payments connected to the contacts of those suppliers along with their wallet addresses. It gave me confidence knowing that I would be sending funds to a supplier's wallet address they have entered directly into their invoice.

Ryan Kris

COO, Verida

The app has essentially eradicated risks associated with human error, such as payments sent to incorrect wallet addresses. Furthermore, it has enhanced our capability to monitor our crypto payroll history, providing improved transparency and oversight.

With their intuitive interface and robust functionalities, we've seen a remarkable improvement in tracking, managing, and optimizing our financial workflows.

Vitalij Aleksandrov

Head of Finance, Merit Circle

The team at Sonic Labs used to spend many hours a month just on managing and accounting for crypto payments. With Request, we now spend only far fewer hours processing almost US$100k in payments monthly, and we anticipate that this number will go up.
