All corridors
A pegged-rate corridor where price is stable but practical USD access in Bolivia is the real variable. ASFI oversight, BCB-fixed rate at 6.91 BOB/USD, and Argentina↔Bolivia trade flows where the dollar leg is the bottleneck.
Timing depends on Bolivian banking access, ASFI compliance review, and the route chosen. Because USD access has been constrained in Bolivia, settlement may take longer than other LATAM corridors of similar size. Xenta surfaces a realistic timeline upfront based on current conditions.
BCB maintains a fixed exchange rate of 6.91 BOB per 1 USD. Headline 24h and 7d moves are 0.00% because the rate is administered, not market-set. The peg does not, however, guarantee practical USD availability — which is the real variable for business payments.
BOB payout uses the Bolivian banking network. Route selection depends on counterparty, ticket size, and current USD availability through banking and exchange channels. Xenta sources liquidity through compliant routes only.
USD/BOB business payments fall under ASFI oversight and Bolivian AML rules. They require KYB verification, NIT validation, transaction purpose declaration, and source-of-funds documentation. Xenta operates within the ASFI framework.
| Use case | Typical flow | Avg ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Bolivia trade flows | US or LATAM exporter settles obligations with a Bolivian counterparty through the authorized banking route. | $25K–$300K |
| Argentina ↔ Bolivia corridor | Cross-border trade between Argentine and Bolivian operators intermediated through USD legs; the dollar availability is the bottleneck. | $25K–$200K |
| Supplier payment | US company pays Bolivian supplier in BOB. Requires NIT, invoice, and ASFI-aligned documentation. | $10K–$150K |
| Service settlement | US-based operator pays Bolivian service vendor (tech, professional services) in BOB. | $10K–$100K |
| Treasury conversion | Corporate treasury with Bolivian operations rebalances USD reserves into BOB working capital. | $50K–$500K |

The official USD/BOB rate is a peg of 6.91 BOB per 1 USD, set by Banco Central de Bolivia (BCB). The headline rate is stable, but practical access to USD in Bolivia has been constrained. The real variable for business payments is availability and the route used, not headline price movement.
Settlement timing depends on Bolivian banking access, ASFI compliance review, and the route chosen. Because USD access has been constrained in Bolivia, settlement may take longer than other LATAM corridors of similar size. Xenta gives a realistic timeline upfront based on current conditions — rather than headline assumptions.
Typical documentation includes commercial invoice, Bolivian beneficiary bank details, KYB profile, transaction purpose declaration, source of funds documentation, NIT (Bolivian tax ID) for the recipient entity, and ASFI-aligned filings depending on transaction type.
BCB maintains a fixed exchange rate of 6.91 BOB per 1 USD. The headline rate doesn't move, so 24h and 7d moves are 0.00%. But the peg does not guarantee unlimited access to USD — Bolivia has periodically faced USD shortages that affect practical settlement. The price is stable; the availability is the variable.
ASFI (Autoridad de Supervisión del Sistema Financiero) is Bolivia's financial system supervisor. It oversees banks, exchange operations, and AML compliance. USD/BOB cross-border payments fall under ASFI rules. Xenta operates through workflows aligned with ASFI requirements.
Yes — Xenta serves qualified individuals after completing KYC verification, with a minimum transaction size of $10,000 USD. Primarily built for B2B operators but individual high-value transfers are supported, subject to Bolivian banking access at the time of settlement.
Pegged price, real-world availability — accounted for upfront.
