FAQ
Why use Tempo for financing?
Tempo helps coordinate financing with the technology and payment flows needed to use it, bringing funding and implementation into one process. Onchain funding and repayments in stablecoins can shorten settlement cycles and make transactions easier to track.
Who provides the financing?
Third-party lenders on Tempo. Our team matches each facility with lenders based on its size, structure, and risk.
Can I receive funding and repay in U.S. dollars without holding stablecoins?
Yes. Facilities can use ramp partners to deliver draws to your bank account in U.S. dollars and accept repayments by wire, so your business does not need to hold stablecoins. Onchain transfers operate 24/7; conversion and bank delivery follow the providers’ processing times and local payment rails.
How quickly can I access funding on Tempo?
Once your facility is approved and operational, stablecoin transfers for draws and repayments settle near-instantly, 24/7. Facility setup and draw availability depend on lender review, documentation, and agreed conditions. Funding delivered to a bank account also depends on conversion and bank processing times.
Do I need crypto collateral, and what can I borrow against?
Not necessarily. Facilities can be structured around incoming payments, card settlements, invoices, or other assets agreed with the lender. Eligible collateral and borrowing limits depend on the facility’s terms.
Can I keep loan balances and repayments private?
Yes. Tempo Zones can keep balances and activity inside a Zone private from the public while giving authorized teams access to the records they need. Deposits and withdrawals remain visible on Tempo, and the Zone operator can read its private ledger. See the Zone privacy model for details.
How do I set up a credit facility with Tempo?
Start by talking with our team about your business, funding needs, current financing, and how money moves through your payment or lending operations. Tempo helps scope the facility, connect with suitable lenders, and plan funding and repayment flows. Lenders review the opportunity and agree on terms before funding.
