How CrudePay Works

CrudePay runs as an internal settlement and control layer for oil trade payments — combining programmable blockchain logic with traditional bank rails so your institution can execute, track, and govern payments end-to-end.

  • Onboard & Configure Step 1: Onboard & Configure

    Onboard counterparties with KYB/KYC verification and configure payment rules, triggers, and settlement preferences for your trade operations.

  • Execute & Automate Step 2: Execute & Automate

    Create trade payment instructions and secure buyer commitments. Smart contracts automatically trigger seller payouts at agreed milestones.

  • Settle & Audit Step 3: Settle & Audit

    Buyers settle on agreed terms while maintaining an immutable audit trail with compliance controls and full payment history tracking.

How It Works

From Trade to Instant Seller Payout

Trade Initiated

1) Trade Initiated

Buyer and seller agree commercial terms. CrudePay is added as the settlement layer for the transaction.

Buyer Payment Instruction

2) Buyer Payment Instruction

Buyer starts the CrudePay checkout flow and confirms amount, currency, counterparties, and references.

Seller Paid

3) Seller Paid (Near-Instant)

CrudePay triggers immediate seller payout via programmable settlement while the buyer keeps payment terms.

Settlement Updates

4) Settlement & Status Updates

Both parties track status and settlement milestones with shared references for clean reconciliation.

Fiat Rails

5) Fiat Rails (Bank Transfer)

When required, CrudePay connects to traditional bank/fiat rails to complete transfers and reporting.

Liquidity Provider Return

6) Liquidity Provider Return

The party funding instant payout receives the underlying value/return as the buyer’s obligation settles.

See How CrudePay Enables Near-Instant Seller Payment

CrudePay sits in the middle of the oil trade payment process: the buyer initiates a payment instruction, the seller can receive funds immediately (or near-immediately) via blockchain settlement, and the buyer still keeps their agreed payment terms. Both sides get clear status updates and references for reconciliation.
