Receiving money in the United States: the local picture
Currency
Transfers into the United States land in US dollar (USD), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
ACH handles standard US bank transfers (settlement in business days); FedNow and RTP provide instant payment options through participating institutions. Timing depends on the provider. That matters for a transfer sent from St. Louis: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
US domestic payments use a 9-digit ABA routing number plus the account number. US accounts do not use IBAN for domestic transfers. Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in the United States are overseen by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Fintech banking products in the US are typically offered through partner banks insured by the FDIC. Confirm which bank holds the deposits and check its FDIC status before opening an account.
