# Stables > USDt payments infrastructure for Asia and MENA. Stables is a stablecoin payments infrastructure provider. It offers a single API for businesses to collect, convert, and move USDt across corridors in Asia and MENA. Stables is a payments infrastructure company that provides application programming interface access to stablecoin based money movement, focused on USDt across Asia and MENA. It gives businesses a single integration point to collect fiat, convert it into stablecoins, and settle payouts across a wide range of currencies and local payment rails, replacing the need to stitch together multiple banking and compliance vendors. The platform addresses cross-border settlement gaps in a region that accounts for a large share of global stablecoin payment flows but has historically lacked unified infrastructure. It works through virtual accounts that generate reusable local payment details, a transfers system that quotes and executes payouts across fiat rails and stablecoins, and embedded compliance tooling covering identity verification, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring. Stablecoin settlement is designed to move across multiple supported blockchain networks without requiring users to manage bridging themselves. Core offerings include Virtual Accounts, Transfers, and Compliance, alongside developer tooling and an interface that lets AI agents initiate payment operations through the platform. It is used by developers, fintech platforms embedding stablecoins into their products, and digital asset exchanges or over the counter desks that need compliant fiat on and off ramps. The company operates under regulatory registrations in multiple jurisdictions and publishes security attestations related to its infrastructure. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/stables ## Products - [Stables App](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stables): Stables App was a mobile wallet that let users buy, hold, top up, and manage stablecoins across multiple networks.

(On/Off Ramp, Discontinued) - [Virtual Accounts](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stables): Virtual Accounts is a financial services platform product that issues reusable local bank account details for businesses to collect fiat payments from their customers. It automatically converts deposited fiat into a dollar-pegged stablecoin and forwards the funds to a nominated wallet, letting platforms accept local currency inflows without operating their own bank accounts. Businesses use it to embed payment collection inside their own products, top up user balances, or receive exchange and fintech deposits across multiple local currencies and rails. (Financial Services Platform, Live) - [AI Agents & MCP](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stables): AI Agents & MCP is an MCP server that exposes the Stables payments API as tools so AI assistants can build and run payment workflows using natural language. It lets agents create and verify customers, generate quotes, and orchestrate transfers and virtual accounts, while pausing any step that moves funds for explicit human approval. Money movement itself still executes through the Transfers product, preserving its compliance checks and transaction lifecycle. (Payments Infrastructure & Orchestration, Live) - [Transfers](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stables): Transfers is a payments infrastructure and orchestration product that lets businesses move money across borders using stablecoins and local fiat rails. Users request a quote showing the route, foreign-exchange rate, and itemized fees, then execute the transfer against that locked quote, with status updates delivered as the transfer progresses. It supports payouts to recipients, supplier and invoice settlement, exchange settlement, and treasury rebalancing across supported corridors, converting between a dollar-pegged stablecoin and local currencies.
