01 · The need
Payroll wants checking details—you are not in the US
US employers run payroll on ACH. They ask for routing and account numbers the same way they would for a teammate in Austin. Without US residency, that request usually ends in wires, delays, and hidden FX costs.
HR asks for checking details
Employers and payroll platforms expect a routing number and account number—not a cross-border wire form.
You are not a US resident
Traditional US checking accounts often require US residency. SwiftFi conversion accounts do not.
Payday should feel normal
Contractors and employees want ACH direct deposit on the same schedule as US teammates.
Wires add delay and cost
International wires stack fees and FX markups. ACH from payroll is the path employers already run.
02 · What you get
Checking-style ACH details without a US bank account
A SwiftFi conversion account provides the bank-style fields HR systems expect. It is not a traditional US checking account—it is payment infrastructure built for global contractors and employees.
- US routing and account numbers for ACH direct deposit
- Beneficiary name matching your verified identity
- A ledger that tracks each payroll deposit
- Settlement choice after funds arrive: stablecoin or off-ramp
03 · Add to payroll
Three steps before your first paycheck
HR does not need to learn a new platform. You give them the same fields they already use for domestic direct deposit.
- 01
Open SwiftFi and verify
Complete verification to unlock your conversion account and US payment details.
Have your ID and contract details ready—HR may ask for proof of account ownership.
- 02
Copy details from the portal
Routing number, account number, and beneficiary name—exactly as shown. Typos cause failed deposits.
Most systems label these “checking” or “direct deposit.” Either works for ACH.

Submit to HR or your payroll tool
Gusto, Rippling, Deel payroll, ADP, or in-house HR—standard ACH fields are what they need.
Ask for a test deposit before your first full paycheck when possible.

ACH from payroll clears into your conversion account. From there, hold stablecoin or off-ramp to local currency. No forced conversion the moment HR hits send.
Track it
Every deposit in one place
Payroll hits your conversion account with a clear status trail. No guessing whether HR sent the batch.
Use it
Settle on your terms
Hold dollar value as stablecoin for lower fees and faster access, or off-ramp to local rails when you need cash.
Same business day wallet availability when you settle to stablecoin.
