Your Breet account holds funds in USD. You can build up your USD balance in two ways:
- Convert your existing NGN or GHS balance to USD from the dashboard under Settings > Crypto Settings — this is the primary on-ramp path
- Receive crypto deposits that automatically convert to USD (see the off-ramping or fintech use cases)
Call the Withdraw (Stablecoins) endpoint
Use
POST /payments/withdraw/address to initiate a stablecoin purchase. Specify the amount in USD, the destination wallet address, the token (USDT or USDC), and the blockchain network.Breet sends the stablecoins
Breet deducts the amount (plus network fee) from your USD balance and sends the stablecoins to the specified wallet address on the chosen network.
