# FiveWest

> FiveWest is the licensed infrastructure layer for cross-border capital movement in Africa and Asia.

FiveWest provides settlement infrastructure for CFD brokers, payment service providers (PSPs), financial service providers (FSPs), and enterprises running high-volume, multi-jurisdiction capital flows. It is not a crypto exchange or retail money transfer service. It is regulated institutional infrastructure.

## What FiveWest does

FiveWest combines a comprehensive South African licensing stack with deep corridor liquidity and a high-touch OTC execution model. This enables faster settlement, reliable capital access, and institutional-grade compliance across African and Asian markets.

The three components:

- **Licensing**: South Africa's most comprehensive institutional stack — FSP (No. 51619), SARB mandate for international payments, PASA Systems Operator and Third-Party Payment Provider (TPPP), primary FIC accountable institution (Org ID: 51077), ODP licence.
- **Liquidity**: Deep corridor coverage across African and Asian markets, with structured relationships on both sides of every trade.
- **The Desk**: A real OTC execution team — not automated routing. Execution is handled by people who know your structure, your volumes, and your corridors.

## Products

- **OTC Desk**: High-volume currency and crypto trades without exchange slippage. Transparent pricing, direct execution, no public order books.
- **ZAR Payouts**: Automated local currency conversion and cross-border payouts at scale. End-to-end compliance handled.
- **Earn**: Yield on idle ZAR, USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and SOL. Up to 10% APY, no fees, daily yield credited.

## Corridors

ZAR cross-border flow is the core. Active coverage includes key African currencies (NGN, KES, GHS, ZMW, MZN, TZS, UGX, EGP, and others) and Southeast Asian currencies (IDR, MYR, THB, VND, JPY). Major global currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD) are also supported.
