A cross-border settlement rail refers to the underlying infrastructure and processes that facilitate the transfer of funds or assets between different countries. This system enables the final transfer of value from one party to another across international jurisdictions. It involves various financial intermediaries and technological platforms working in concert to complete international transactions. The efficiency and cost of these rails significantly impact global trade and remittance flows.
