# BRL/USDC FX API for a Product Lead at a Crypto Card Issuer: Not Spending Months Building FX Infrastructure in Brazil

> What a crypto card product lead stops building by integrating the Crown FX BRL/USDC API, and what remains the issuer's job.

For a crypto card issuer, building FX in-house means handling liquidity, integrations, regulatory compliance and a dedicated team. The [Crown FX](https://crown-brlv.com) API concentrates that work at Crown and leaves the issuer on the product.

**Not built by the issuer:** the BRL and USDC liquidity; the payment integration (Pix and stablecoins); the mandatory Central Bank reporting of user transactions.

**Kept by the issuer:** product design, the user experience and the cardholder relationship. With sub-accounts per customer and the issuer's own brand on the front, Crown appears as infrastructure.

**Validating the timeline.** Documentation is at [docs.crown-brlv.com](https://docs.crown-brlv.com). Launch time is a point to settle with Crown, which states the product is in production with real customers for this use case.
