Multi-Rail Routing (Coming Soon)

Coming Soon - Multi-Rail Routing is currently in development and will be available soon. This documentation provides an overview of the upcoming features.

What is Multi-Rail Routing?

Multi-Rail Routing is Venly’s intelligent payment orchestration system that automatically selects the optimal payment rail for each transaction. Instead of being locked into a single payment method, the system dynamically routes payments through SEPA, SWIFT, stablecoin networks, or local rails based on speed, cost, and destination requirements.

Bank Rails

SEPA, SWIFT, Faster Payments, and more

Stablecoin Rails

USDC, USDT, EURC on multiple blockchains

Local Rails

PIX, FPS, CHAPS, ACH, and regional networks

Automatic Optimization

AI-powered routing for best speed and cost

The Problem with Single-Rail Systems

Traditional payment systems force you to choose one rail and live with its limitations:

Traditional Wire Transfers (SWIFT)

❌ 3-5 days settlement time
❌ High correspondent banking fees
❌ Limited transparency
❌ Frequent holds and blocks
❌ Business hours only

Single Payment Processors

❌ Locked into one provider’s network
❌ No flexibility for optimization
❌ Higher costs due to lack of competition
❌ Limited corridor coverage

The Cost of Inefficiency

Issue	Impact
3+ days average settlement	Support tickets pile up
€2.4K lost per corridor block	Direct operational cost
72% false positive holds	Legitimate volume flagged

How Multi-Rail Routing Works

1. Payment Request

You submit a payment request via API

POST /v1/payout
{
  "amount": 50000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "destination": "MX",
  "recipient": {
    "accountNumber": "123456789",
    "bankCode": "BANAMEX"
  }
}

2. Intelligent Analysis

Venly’s routing engine analyzes multiple factorsFactors Considered:

Destination country and currency
Payment amount and urgency
Current rail availability and costs
Recipient bank capabilities
Regulatory requirements
Historical performance data
Real-time network status

3. Optimal Rail Selection

System selects the best available rail

Analysis Results:
✓ SWIFT: 3 days, €25 fee
✓ Stablecoin: 15 minutes, €2 fee
✓ Local Rail (SPEI): 2 hours, €5 fee

Selected: Stablecoin Rail
Reason: Fastest + Lowest Cost

4. Automatic Execution

Payment is routed and executed

Funds converted to optimal stablecoin if needed
Transaction submitted to selected network
Real-time status updates via webhooks
Automatic fallback if primary rail fails

5. Settlement & Confirmation

Recipient receives funds

Settlement time: Seconds to minutes (stablecoin) or hours (local rails)
Confirmation sent to both parties
Transaction recorded for compliance
Detailed reporting available

Automatic Failover & Redundancy

Multi-Rail Redundancy

If the primary rail fails, the system automatically falls back:

Payment Request: €10,000 EUR → USD

Primary Rail: Stablecoin (USDC)
Status: Network congestion detected

Automatic Failover:
→ Secondary Rail: SWIFT Wire
→ Notification sent to sender
→ Payment completes via backup rail
→ No manual intervention required

Intelligent Retry Logic

// Automatic retry with exponential backoff
Attempt 1: Stablecoin (failed - network issue)
Wait: 30 seconds
Attempt 2: Stablecoin (failed - still congested)
Wait: 2 minutes
Attempt 3: Switch to SWIFT (success)

Total Time: 3 minutes to fallback
User Experience: Seamless

Best Practices

1. Choose the Right Strategy

// Speed-critical payments
{
  "routing": {
    "strategy": "SPEED",
    "maxTime": 600  // 10 minutes max
  }
}

// Cost-sensitive bulk payments
{
  "routing": {
    "strategy": "COST",
    "maxCost": 2  // €2 max per transaction
  }
}

// Balanced approach (recommended)
{
  "routing": {
    "strategy": "BALANCED"
  }
}

2. Set Appropriate Limits

Max Cost: Prevent expensive routing for small payments
Max Time: Ensure SLA compliance
Preferred Rails: Specify preferred rails when needed
Fallback Rules: Define acceptable alternatives

3. Monitor Performance

Track rail performance metrics
Analyze cost savings
Review settlement times
Identify optimization opportunities

4. Handle Webhooks

// Webhook handler example
app.post('/webhooks/venly', (req, res) => {
  const event = req.body;
  
  switch(event.type) {
    case 'payout.processing':
      // Update internal status
      break;
    case 'payout.completed':
      // Notify recipient
      break;
    case 'payout.failed':
      // Handle failure, retry if needed
      break;
  }
  
  res.status(200).send('OK');
});

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the routing engine decide which rail to use?

The engine analyzes multiple factors including destination, amount, urgency, cost, rail availability, and historical performance. It then selects the optimal rail based on your chosen strategy (SPEED, COST, or BALANCED).

What happens if the selected rail fails?

The system automatically falls back to the next best available rail without manual intervention. You’ll receive a webhook notification about the rail change, but the payment continues seamlessly.

Can I force a specific rail for certain payments?

Yes, you can specify a preferred rail in your API request. The system will use that rail if available, or notify you if it’s not possible for that corridor.

How are stablecoin payments settled to fiat?

Stablecoins are automatically converted to the recipient’s local currency at competitive exchange rates. The recipient receives fiat in their bank account or can opt to receive stablecoins directly.

What are the settlement times for each rail?

Stablecoin rails: 15 seconds to 5 minutes. Local rails: Instant to 4 hours. SEPA: T+1. SWIFT: T+2 to T+5. Exact times depend on the specific corridor and rail.

Are there any volume requirements?

For standard multi-rail routing, there’s no minimum volume. However, access to certain premium corridors and custom routing strategies may require €500K+ monthly volume.

How do I track cost savings?

The Fundflow Dashboard provides detailed analytics showing cost savings compared to traditional SWIFT-only operations, broken down by corridor and rail type.

Can I use multi-rail routing for both payouts and collections?

Currently, multi-rail routing is optimized for payouts. Collection (pay-in) support with intelligent routing is planned for Q3 2026.
