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.

  • icon Step 1: Onboard & Configure

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

  • icon Step 2: Execute & Automate

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

  • icon Step 3: Settle & Audit

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

How It Works

From Trade to Instant Seller Payout

Trade initiated

1) Trade Initiated

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

Payment instruction

2) Buyer Payment Instruction

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

Instant seller payout

3) Seller Paid (Near-Instant)

CrudePay can trigger an immediate seller payout via blockchain settlement while the buyer keeps their payment terms.

Settlement tracking

4) Settlement & Status Updates

Both parties see payment status and settlement milestones with shared references for easy reconciliation.

Fiat rails

5) Fiat Rails (Bank Transfer)

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

Liquidity 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.
