Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum transaction size?
The desk is designed for transactions above $25,000 equivalent. Smaller trades can be accommodated for existing clients but pricing is less competitive.
How is pricing determined?
Quotes reflect live interbank and exchange liquidity plus a disclosed desk spread. The price you confirm is the price you settle at — there is no slippage after confirmation.
What happens if my quote expires?
Nothing is executed and no fee is charged. Request a fresh quote and the desk will reprice against current market conditions.
When do funds settle?
Crypto settlement begins immediately on confirmation. Bank settlement in AED or USD is same-day when instructions are received before the local cut-off.
