Core Concepts & Use Cases

Core concepts to allow you to build seamlessly.

Before you begin integrating with alfred's APIs, it's important to understand some core concepts to make the building process go a lot smoother.

Users

alfred users represent the individual users of our partners. The primary purpose of an alfred User is to ensure that KYC checks are done with the provided data on the user so that they can safely and compliantly use our services. alfred Users contain KYC information, helping our partners understand if the user can compliantly use specific services.

Transfers

On the alfred platform, funds move through our transfers. We view transfers as the bridge connecting you to LATAM's growing digital economy and providing access to your user's. Transfers can do a variety of things including:

  • move fiat between different wallets, users, and partner accounts

  • move fiat between the alfred platform and bank accounts

  • move crypto between different wallets, users, and partner accounts

  • move crypto between the alfred platform and external crypto addresses

  • exchange between different cryptocurrency pairs within the same user/wallet/account

  • exchange between cryptocurrency and fiat within the same user/wallet/account
