Fast-Track Adoption
FX Conversion for End Customers
This path activates a customer-facing FX conversion capability.
It enables end customers to convert currency values inside the platform, under the platform’s brand, using FX360 as the underlying execution infrastructure.
This path is designed as a safe, deterministic entry point for activating customer FX functionality without product decisions, UI work, or expanded regulatory scope.
Prerequisites
This path can be started only if all of the following conditions are met:
- The platform operates as B2B2X, serving end customers and owning the customer experience.
- The platform is legally permitted to offer currency conversion to end customers in at least one jurisdiction.
- The platform has a customer-facing value representation that can be converted between currencies. This may be an existing balance, exposure, ledger entry, or a minimal value layer provided as part of Stage 1.
- The platform supports API-based integration. No UI embedding is required or supported in Stage 1.
- A single base currency for customer values is defined.
If any prerequisite is not met, this path should not be started.Stage 1 – Fast-Track Scope
Included in Stage 1
Stage 1 activates a single, opinionated FX conversion flow:
- One source currency
- API-only execution
- One target currency
- FX execution fully handled by FX360
- One conversion action: convert
- Conversion initiation controlled by the platform
- One customer value source (balance, exposure, or equivalent)
Stage 1 establishes the conversion backbone required for customer-facing FX activity.Explicitly Excluded from Stage 1
The following are not included in Stage 1:
- Incoming or outgoing payments
- Multiple currency pairs
- FX protection or risk features
- End-customer configuration or choice logic
- Hedging instruments or strategies
- Monetization or pricing optimization
- Multi-currency wallets
- UI or product design work
These exclusions exist to prevent scope expansion and dependency on additional decisions.Time to Live
Expected time to Stage 1
live: 2–4 weeks
This estimate assumes:
- All prerequisites are met
- Stage 1 scope is followed without deviation
- Integration is API-first
Fast-Track Steps
Each step represents a progress gate, not a task list.
Connect
Connect the platform to the FX360 conversion API.
Configure
Configure a single currency pair and a single customer value source.
Execute
Execute the conversion flow in a non-production environment.
Validate
Verify that conversion results are reflected correctly in customer values.
Go Live
Enable the conversion flow for live customer activity.
Validation Check
Stage 1 is complete when:
- A customer value exists in the source currency
- The converted amount is reflected accurately in the target value
- A conversion request is triggered by the platform
- No manual intervention is required
- FX360 executes the conversion
Stage 1 completion is binary: complete or incomplete.What Comes Next
After Stage 1, the platform may expand to:
- Additional currency pairs
- End-customer cross-border payments
- Multi-currency wallets
- Monetization and pricing strategies
- FX protection and risk layers
- Full FX stack activation
Expansion is optional and occurs outside the Fast-Track scope.Other Fast-Track Adoption Path
