What is specific to United States
Three things change from country to country on a local rail: how the beneficiary is designated, the name matching rules, and the reporting framework.
The local landscape
The United States receive dollars by ACH for everyday amounts, or by domestic wire for large ones. Zelle is impossible: the network forbids third-party commercial disbursement.
Details and name matching
A US account is designated by a nine-digit routing number and an account number. Careful: many banks publish one routing number for ACH and another for wires; they are not interchangeable.
Reporting framework
Every disposal for dollars is a taxable event reportable to the IRS, including when the proceeds stay on an account. We give no tax advice: your account exports every operation for your accountant.
Required details and validation rules
Every field is validated as you type, not at send time: an error is flagged immediately rather than as a rejection days later.
| Field | Required | Validation rule | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account holder name | Yes | 2 to 140 characters · edges trimmed | Must match the name verified on your ID exactly. A mismatch gets the transfer rejected. |
| Routing number (ABA) | Yes | exactly 9 digits · digits only kept | 9 digits, printed on your check. |
| Account number | Yes | 4 to 17 digits · digits only kept | — |
| Account type | Yes | 2 possible values | — |

The trip, step by step
Each step has its own duration, and none is rounded in our favour.
Quote and lock
The net shows with the full breakdown, before any sign-up. The rate is frozen when the order is created.
Beneficiary details
You enter the ACH details required in United States. Every format is checked immediately.
Deposit and confirmation
A dedicated address for your XLM, then about 1 min of confirmation on the fastest network.
Payout
The order goes out on ACH as soon as the threshold is reached: 1 business day(s) of settlement, then a downloadable receipt.
How ACH actually works
Orders are processed in successive windows across banking business days. An order submitted after the cut-off joins the next window, and a weekend or federal holiday shifts everything. A Friday evening deposit typically lands on Tuesday.
Check that the routing number you enter is the ACH one: many US banks publish two, one for ACH and one for wires. Using the wrong one gets the order rejected several days later.
The memo is mandatory and must be of the type we indicate. A deposit without a memo is not attributed automatically and triggers a manual procedure.

FAQ: Stellar to ACH in United States
How long between sending my XLM and the money landing in United States?
About 1 day in total in the median case: the confirmation time of the network you pick, then 1 business day(s) of settlement on ACH. This rail only runs on business days and closes at 17:00, which can push the payout to the next business day.
What is the minimum to sell Stellar to ACH?
Two minimums apply at once: 100 XLM on the deposit side, and $25.00 on the settlement side. The stricter of the two decides. The rail cap is $25,000.00 per operation.
What exactly do I pay on this corridor?
Three lines, shown separately before you confirm: the XLM network cost, taken in kind from your deposit; our spread, surcharged for asset volatility and the corridor’s beta status; and the rail fee, that is No rail fee. There is no fourth line, and the three sum to exactly the gap between the mid-market value and the net.
Is the Memo mandatory?
Yes, on Stellar. Without it your deposit lands on a pooled account with no automatic way to attribute it: recovery becomes manual and does not always succeed. The field is displayed next to the address at deposit time.
Which ACH details do I provide in United States?
A US account is designated by a nine-digit routing number and an account number. Careful: many banks publish one routing number for ACH and another for wires; they are not interchangeable.
What about tax in United States?
Every disposal for dollars is a taxable event reportable to the IRS, including when the proceeds stay on an account. We give no tax advice: your account exports every operation for your accountant.
What if I send an amount different from the quote?
Nothing is lost. An underpayment triggers a recalculation at the locked rate, and you receive the amount matching what you actually sent. An overpayment is handled the same way on the excess. In both cases, if the result falls below the rail minimum of $25.00, we offer another payout method rather than freezing the funds.
