MENUMENU
International transactions are part and parcel of today's globalised economy for businesses. Whether it's paying your overseas suppliers, receiving payments from foreign clients, or managing multinational operations.
However, traditional banking systems often fall short. You have to deal with costs, slow processing times, regulatory complexities, to name just three reasons.
This article explores how you can solve these challenges, the history of global money transfers, obstacles you may have faced with traditional banking methods, and shows a new landscape with fast, secure, and cost-effective solutions.
The need to move funds across borders has existed for hundreds of years. In the 19th century, the advent of telegraphic transfers allowed businesses to send money internationally more quickly than ever before. In the 1970s, the newly established SWIFT network standardised international bank communications, providing the foundation for growing global trade and finance.
Amid all the progress, one thing was holding back enterprise and global money transfers. The traditional banking system. Businesses suffered delays, high fees, and opaque processes that affected international operations.
You know what’s coming when you want to transfer money internationally through a traditional banking system. You get a list of chunky fees for international transfers, including flat fees per transaction, plus those hidden costs that slowly reveal themselves in currency exchange rates. The more you make high-value international transactions, the more your profitability margins suffer.
International bank transfers are often a waiting game. They can take up to a week, as intermediary banks and complex verification procedures get involved. For you time is money, and these delays can disrupt your supply chains, delay payments to overseas partners, and strain your business relationships.
Businesses often have to be accountants to understand the true costs and statuses of international transfers. Hidden fees and unclear exchange rates make it challenging to forecast expenses accurately. Limited tracking makes it harder to know when funds will arrive, complicating cash flow management.
International regulations, anti-money laundering (AML) laws, and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements all add layers of complexity to global money transfers. Traditional banks often have rigid clearing processes that aren't tailored to what your business needs, leading to additional paperwork and delays.
Traditional banking’s many limitations have opened the door for financial technology – fintech – companies to step in with solutions designed for businesses to compete in the digital age.
