Managing Counterparties | Conduit Guides

Managing Counterparties

The Counterparties section in our platform is designed to help you manage the details of the businesses or individuals you send or receive payments from/to - more efficiently and securely. It streamlines the user experience, reduces errors, and speeds up compliance review.

What is a counterparty?

A counterparty is the person or business associated with your transactions on the platform.

Once a counterparty is added, you can reuse their information for future transactions without entering it manually again. This helps reduce errors, save time, and ensures the data remains consistent and pre-approved by compliance.
