# API Introduction

> Integrate crypto payments into your product with the Breet API. Accept deposits, convert assets, and settle to bank accounts in local currency.

## Built with simplicity in mind

Breet's crypto API infrastructure is **simple on purpose**.

Most businesses just want to accept crypto or stablecoin payments without worrying about networks, confirmations, fees, or compliance. That's exactly what we built for.

Instead of packing in features you'll never use, we focused on what actually matters: receiving crypto, converting it, and settling to bank accounts. Nothing more, nothing less.

The result is an API that **works quietly** in the background, does exactly what it promises, and never gets in the way of your product.
