Expanding a PSP into a new corridor usually means one of two paths: open a banking relationship in that country, or partner with someone who already has one and take their margin. Both are slow. Both cap how many currencies a PSP can realistically support at once.
Modality is a third option: plug into one settlement layer that already reaches 63 countries, rather than building banking relationships one corridor at a time.
630 Pairs Instead of 630 Negotiations
A PSP quoting a merchant in Kenyan shillings and settling a payout in Turkish lira, without either leg touching USD, needs direct pairs — not a chain of correspondent banks each taking a cut. Modality supports 630 direct currency pairs across 36 currencies, so a PSP adds corridors without adding banking negotiations.
RLUSD, USDC, and USDT move across BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP; on the other side are SEPA, SEPA Instant, SWIFT, Faster Payments, and local schemes. One integration, not one per corridor.
It Doesn't Compete With Its Own Customer
Every PSP asks the same question before integrating a settlement partner: will this vendor eventually go direct to my merchants? Modality can't. It's non-custodial — licensed partners hold the funds, Modality provides accounts, quoting, conversion, and routing software only. It has no funds to hold and no reason to disintermediate the PSP it serves.
That's the point of calling it a rails layer instead of a payments company: it sits underneath the PSP's product, not next to it.

FAQ: Stablecoin For Payment Service Providers
How can a payment service provider offer 36 currencies without 35 separate banking relationships?
By plugging into a settlement layer with 630 direct currency pairs across 36 currencies through one API, instead of establishing a banking relationship in every corridor it wants to support.
Can stablecoin settlement be used for remittance-style payouts?
The underlying mechanics -- direct currency-pair conversion, 24/7 settlement -- apply, though Modality is built for B2B settlement between businesses and licensed institutions, not consumer-facing remittance directly.
How can freight and logistics companies pay carriers across high-risk corridors?
Settle directly in the carrier's or agent's invoice currency over a direct stablecoin pair, bypassing the correspondent-bank relationships that treat certain freight corridors as high-risk or slow to clear.
