Email notifications

What Fiatswaps sends you, and what a recipient never gets

Written by Fiatswaps

Last updated July 28, 2026

Every Fiatswaps notification goes to the workspace owner. Recipients are never emailed by Fiatswaps, so an approved KYC, a newly issued virtual bank account or a completed swap reaches the recipient only when you pass it on.

1. Who gets the email

Every notification below lands in one inbox, the workspace owner's. This holds even when the email is about a specific recipient and names them:

  • A recipient never receives a Fiatswaps notification. Approvals, rejections, account details and swap updates all come to you.
  • Verification reaches a recipient because you send it. The KYC email carries a link you copy and forward to the recipient so they can complete it themselves.
  • Sign-in and password emails go to the workspace member who asked for them. Those are the only Fiatswaps emails not tied to a recipient.

Note: If a recipient is waiting to hear that they have been approved or that their account details exist, tell them yourself. Fiatswaps does not contact them.

2. What arrives, and when

These are the notifications Fiatswaps sends as a recipient moves through onboarding and starts receiving payments:

EmailSent when
KYC reminderA recipient's KYC was started but not finished. Two reminders only: one at 24 hours, one at 72 hours
KYC approvedThe recipient's KYC passed. Their virtual bank account is being prepared
KYC not approvedKYC could not be approved. The verification flow explains what to fix before retrying
KYB requiredYou added a business recipient, so KYB has to be completed before activation
Account readyThe recipient's virtual bank account is issued. The email names the rail and carries the EUR IBAN or USD SWIFT details
Deposit receivedA payment arrived in the recipient's virtual bank account and the swap has started
Payout sentThe USDC from that swap reached the recipient's USDC wallet and is confirmed on-chain
Document requiredA source of funds document is needed. Processing can stay on hold until it is submitted
Document approvedThe source of funds review is complete and anything held for it can resume
New document requiredThe document submitted did not complete the source of funds review
Onboarding remindersSetup has stalled before a recipient is live, capped at two reminders per stalled step
Weekly digestMonday, once per workspace, for the week that just closed

3. The weekly digest

The weekly digest is one email per workspace covering the most recently completed Monday-to-Sunday week in UTC. It reports the total USDC moved that week and how many payouts completed, with a link to the full record for the period.

  • One per workspace, per completed week. It is not a per-recipient email and it does not send twice for the same week.
  • It is optional. Every digest carries an unsubscribe link.

Note: The digest opt-out applies to the whole workspace, not to one workspace member. Unsubscribing stops the digest for everyone in it.

4. Onboarding reminders

Onboarding reminders are bounded prompts sent when setup stalls before a recipient is live, such as no recipient added yet or a recipient left in draft. The limits are fixed:

  • Two per stalled step, at most. One at 24 hours and one at 72 hours.
  • A 48-hour minimum gap between any two reminders.
  • One reminder per workspace in any 24-hour period.
  • They stop on progress. Moving that step forward, or unsubscribing, ends them.

5. What you can turn off

The weekly digest and the onboarding reminders are the two optional categories, and each is switched off from the email itself:

  1. Open a weekly digest or an onboarding reminder.
  2. Click Unsubscribe at the bottom of it.

Each unsubscribe covers only its own category. Unsubscribing from the digest leaves onboarding reminders running, and the reverse.

Warning: The verification, account, deposit and payout emails cannot be switched off. They report money movement and required actions on the account, so there is no setting that stops them.

Next: Most of these emails are about one step in the recipient's checks. Why KYC is required →

Frequently asked questions

Will my recipient be told when their KYC is approved?

No. The approval email goes to the workspace owner, not to the recipient. Fiatswaps never emails a recipient, so you have to tell them yourself.

Does the recipient get their account details by email?

No. The account-ready email with the EUR IBAN or USD SWIFT details goes to the workspace owner. Share the details from your dashboard once you have them.

Do I get an email when a payout fails?

No. A failed payout is not one of the emails sent to you. Check the payout's status in your dashboard, and contact support with the recipient and the date if it stays failed.

Can I turn off all Fiatswaps emails?

No. Only the weekly digest and the onboarding reminders can be unsubscribed from. Verification, account, deposit and payout emails are part of operating the account and keep sending.

Why did I get two reminders about the same recipient's KYC?

There are exactly two reminder slots for a KYC attempt, one at 24 hours and one at 72 hours. They stop once KYC completes or is rejected, and a new attempt resets the two slots.

Who receives the weekly digest?

The workspace owner, once per workspace. It is not sent per recipient and not sent to recipients.
