Redefining How Money Moves Across Borders

Traditional cross-border payments in emerging markets cost an average of 8–12% in fees and take 3–5 business days to settle. Ethman Evergreen's Cross-Border Payment solution changes that paradigm entirely.

Built on distributed ledger technology and integrated with digital banking and mobile money ecosystems across emerging markets worldwide, our platform delivers near-instant settlement at a fraction of the cost. Every transaction is transparent, auditable, and β€” uniquely β€” carbon-offset by default.

Whether you're a diaspora member sending remittances home, a green enterprise paying for sustainably sourced materials, or a government disbursing climate adaptation funds β€” our cross-border rails are built for you.

From Initiation to Settlement in Seconds

A transparent, five-step process that replaces weeks of correspondent banking with near-instant finality.

1

Payment Initiation

The sender initiates a transfer via our web app, mobile app, USSD code, or through an integrated partner platform. They select the recipient's country, enter the amount, and confirm the live exchange rate β€” all visible before committing.

2

Identity Verification & Compliance

Our AI-powered KYC/AML engine instantly verifies the sender's identity using biometric matching, document verification, and sanctions screening. Suspicious transactions are flagged and escalated in real time β€” ensuring full regulatory compliance with FATF, CEMAC, and OHADA frameworks.

3

Blockchain Settlement

The transaction is recorded on our permissioned distributed ledger. Smart contracts handle the FX conversion at mid-market rates, execute the cross-border transfer, and generate an immutable audit trail. No correspondent banks, no SWIFT delays.

4

Last-Mile Delivery

Funds are delivered to the recipient via their preferred channel: mobile money wallet (MTN, Orange, M-Pesa), bank account, cash pickup point, or even a smart-contract escrow for trade finance. Most deliveries complete in under 30 seconds.

5

Confirmation & Carbon Offset

Both sender and recipient receive instant confirmation via SMS and in-app notification. The transaction's carbon footprint is automatically calculated and offset through our verified reforestation projects. A carbon offset certificate is generated for each transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to send money?

Our fees are among the lowest in the industry. For remittances under $500, the fee is just 0.5%. For larger amounts and business transactions, fees start at 0.3%. There are no hidden charges β€” the exchange rate you see is the rate you get, with a transparent 0.25% FX markup over mid-market rates.
How fast are transfers settled?

Most transfers are settled in under 30 seconds. Mobile money deliveries are typically instant. Bank transfers may take up to 2 hours depending on the receiving bank's processing times. Our blockchain settlement layer ensures that your money never gets "stuck" in transit.
Which countries and currencies are supported?
