Altitude overview

The essentials for getting started with Altitude

Written by Garrett Harper

What is Altitude

Altitude is a stablecoin-native business account connected to fiat rails. Manage your stablecoin treasury, earn APY, handle invoices, spend with corporate cards (coming soon), and send payments via ACH, wire, SEPA and SWIFT.


Open your account

Go to our website to open your account and complete business verification (KYB). You'll need:

  1. Business registration documents.

  2. Ownership information for anyone owning 25%+ of the company.

  3. A government-issued ID for verification.

Important notes:

  1. Use a physical business address, not a virtual address. The address must be in a supported country or your application may not be approved. You may be asked for proof of address (POA).

  2. Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) will receive verification emails directly from Sumsub to complete identity verification.

See Open an account for details on documents and the verification process.


Add your team

Invite team members and configure how payments get approved.

Member permissions:

  1. Initiate - Create proposals for payments and changes.

  2. Vote - Approve or reject proposals.

  3. Execute - Submit and execute approved proposals.

Approval threshold determines how many votes a proposal needs before it can be executed. Set this based on your team size and security requirements.

See Members for setup instructions.


Add funds

Two ways to fund your account:

  1. Bank transfers - Send USD or EUR from your bank account. Altitude converts to stablecoins automatically.

  2. Stablecoin deposit - Send USDC or EURC directly to your deposit address on Solana.

Important: Your deposit address only accepts USDC and EURC on Solana. Sending other tokens may result in permanent loss.

See Receive funds for instructions.


Grow your balance

Put your treasury to work.

  1. Altitude Rewards - Earn APY on your balance with Altitude Rewards, backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries managed by BlackRock.

  2. Holdings - Hold SOL and Bitcoin (cbBTC) alongside stablecoins to diversify your treasury.

See Altitude Rewards and Holdings for details.


Send payments

Pay vendors, contractors, and partners globally. Automate the payments process using Bill Pay.

  1. Local bank transfers - Send and receive USD & EUR using ACH, domestic wire and SEPA with zero fees.

  2. SWIFT transfers - Send USD SWIFT transfers via the Bill Pay payment flow.

  3. Stablecoin transfers - Send USDC or EURC to any Solana address.

  4. Batch payments - Process multiple stablecoin payments in a single proposal.

See How payments work for details.
