Corridor Features

Each corridor defines the available payment methods, settlement speed, and supported currencies for a given region. When you create a quote, the corridor determines:
  • Which fiat payment methods are available (bank transfers, instant payment networks)
  • Settlement timing and cut-off windows
  • Applicable fees and exchange rates
  • Compliance requirements specific to the jurisdiction

How Corridors Work with Quotes

Every transaction references a corridor. When you request a quote, specify the corridor to get accurate pricing:
curl -X POST https://api.thiqwave.com/v1/quotes \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "source_currency": "AED",
    "destination_currency": "EUR",
    "amount": 100000,
    "corridor": "uae",
    "recipient_type": "bank_account"
  }'
The quote response includes corridor-specific fees and the guaranteed exchange rate for a 3-minute lock window.
