Stablerail as a Request Finance alternative
Request Finance is strong at crypto invoicing and accounts payable paperwork. It still assumes your funds live somewhere else — usually a wallet or exchange. Stablerail is the account itself, so approvals, screening and settlement happen where the balance is.

Choose Stablerail if
- You want one place to hold, control and move stablecoin funds — not just document them.
- You need approvals and screening enforced before a transaction is signed.
- You want corporate cards and fiat rails on the same balance.
- You care about self-custody and being able to leave with your keys.
Choose Request Finance if
- Your main pain is invoice collection and AP paperwork, not the account itself.
- Your funds must stay in an existing wallet or exchange you do not want to move.
- You mostly need crypto-native accounting exports and nothing else.
Frequently asked questions
Can Stablerail replace Request Finance?
For most mid-market teams paying contractors and vendors in stablecoins, yes. Stablerail covers the counterparty register, approvals, batch payouts, screening and audit evidence — with funds held in your own self-custodial account rather than an external wallet.
Does Stablerail do invoicing?
Stablerail focuses on money movement and controls: payment links, payouts, cards and fiat rails. Invoice documents from your existing billing system can be attached as evidence to the payments they relate to.
How does approval work?
Approvals are enforced cryptographically. A payment is only signed once the required approvers have signed off, so an approval workflow cannot be bypassed by moving funds directly in a wallet.
What about accounting exports?
Every transaction carries an audit record — counterparty, screening result, approvers, network, hash and timestamps — exportable for close and for auditors.
