Network fee — a stated amount is what the exchange returned, and the figure shown is after it. “included” means the exchange’s own price already contains its network fee, not itemised. “not stated” means its API returned no fee, so that amount is a ceiling rather than a promise.
Every row is what that exchange would pay for this exact size, quoted live from its own API at the time shown and ranked by what lands in your wallet. The bar is each row’s all-in cost against the market rate at that moment, drawn to one scale — ours included.

THIS CORRIDOR, IN NUMBERS
USDC on Arbitrum → USDT on BNB Smart Chain
What USDC → USDT actually costs
- You send 100 USDC on Arbitrum.
- You receive 99.4299 USDT.
- The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 109.978 USDC.
Why this pair behaves the way it does
Arbitrum produces blocks several times a second, so the 20 confirmations Cambio waits for on your USDC pass almost immediately and the USDT payout is what you are actually waiting on.
USDT on BNB Smart Chain is a token, so sending it also needs BNB Smart Chain's own coin for gas. Cambio funds that separately, which is why the USDT side is capped by what the wallet holds rather than by a policy number.
Floor on BNB Smart Chain: 0.35%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.
USDT on BNB Smart Chain carries 18 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.
USDC on Arbitrum and USDT on BNB Smart Chain
USDC and USDT both track the dollar, but they are separate tokens on separate chains — USDC issued on Arbitrum, USDT issued on BNB Smart Chain.
Worth checking before you send: on Arbitrum the token is 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831, and the USDT you receive on BNB Smart Chain is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955.
Arbitrum needs 20 confirmations before Cambio releases your USDT; that wait, not the BNB Smart Chain payout, is what you spend time on.
People move a dollar token between chains to reach something only one side has: a protocol, an exchange deposit, or a cheaper onward transfer. Cambio does it as a swap — send USDC on Arbitrum, receive USDT on BNB Smart Chain, no account.
How long USDC on Arbitrum takes to clear
Cambio waits 20 confirmations on Arbitrum, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~5 min.

The two coins
What you’re actually swapping.
Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.
USDC
Arbitrum ERC20 (Arbitrum)
USDC on Arbitrum is issuer-native USDC (not a bridged wrapper). The network confirms in seconds, with L2 fees — a fraction of Ethereum L1 gas — and Circle mints it directly on Arbitrum rather than bridging it over.
- NetworkArbitrum
- Confirmations needed20
- Average block timesub-second blocks
USDT
BNB Smart Chain BEP20
USDT on BNB Smart Chain is the exchange-default flavour of dollar-pegged USDT. The network confirms in seconds, with consistently low network fees — and it is the cheap-to-move USDT most CEX withdrawals default to.

Questions
USDC to USDT on BNB Smart Chain — frequently asked.
Is this a bridge swap?
No. Your USDC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Arbitrum as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDT on BSC as an ordinary BSC transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.
How long does the swap take?
The deposit side on Arbitrum confirms in seconds; the payout on BNB Smart Chain confirms in seconds. The status card tracks every stage live — detection, confirmation, payout — so you are never guessing which side you are waiting on.
Do I need to verify my identity?
No account or sign-up is needed. Every swap is screened against sanctions and on-chain risk lists before a deposit address is issued; in line with applicable law and our risk-based AML policy, identity verification may be requested where screening flags elevated risk.
What is the maximum I can swap?
There is no fixed per-swap cap. The most you can send on this pair is shown in the table above and recalculated on every quote, so it always reflects what we can settle right now.
Can I receive the USDT into an exchange account?
Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDT and make sure the network is BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), then paste that deposit address into the Cambio composer as your destination. If the network on the exchange side doesn’t match, don’t send — ask the AI and it will walk you through it.
Why use Cambio for this pair?
Every quote ships with a live comparison against the biggest instant exchanges — including when we lose — and the number on the card is the number that settles. Pricing is chain-aware, the route has no bridge exposure, and screening happens before your deposit, never after.
