It's moving the money. When your client is in a country where funds are difficult to transfer, the usual ways to get paid are slow, expensive, or simply don't work. Payments take days or weeks, arrive short after fees no one can see, and leave you with nothing to track while you wait. Walsta gives your client a way that works, and lands digital US dollars in your account within minutes. | ![Country of origin](https://walsta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/fd-icon-origin.png?width=84&name=fd-icon-origin.png) Your client's country Your client, where money is hard to move out | ![](https://walsta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/fd-arrow.png?width=130&name=fd-arrow.png) Sends digital US dollars | ![Walsta](https://walsta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/fd-icon-walsta.png?width=84&name=fd-icon-walsta.png) Walsta Funds are received within minutes | ![](https://walsta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/fd-arrow.png?width=130&name=fd-arrow.png) Converts to CAD | ![Your Canadian bank](https://walsta.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/fd-icon-bank.png?width=84&name=fd-icon-bank.png) Your Canadian bank Deposit in Canadian dollars | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ## How Walsta Works | 1 Sign up and verify your business We confirm you're a registered professional or company, so you're set up properly from the start. | 2 Share your receiving details Give your clients your Walsta receiving details.

Walsta gives you a business account for those payments, with conversion to Canadian dollars and a record for every transaction. ## Digital US dollars, handled properly. Walsta runs on USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle, a regulated US financial company. A stablecoin is a crypto asset built to hold a fixed value rather than trade like one. USDC is fully backed by cash and short-dated US Treasuries, and is designed to hold a value of one US dollar. Walsta is a custodial wallet for those digital US dollars. We hold and secure the USDC on your behalf, so you never deal with private keys or seed phrases. You convert to Canadian dollars and settle to your business bank account whenever you choose. | Issued by Circle, a regulated US financial company | | --- | | Fully backed by cash and short-dated US Treasuries | | Reserves attested monthly by an independent accounting firm | | You never hold private keys.
