The Problem
Global payments shouldn't slow down your business.
Online Travel Agencies operate globally, but traditional banking makes international payments slow, expensive, and unpredictable.
- Margins are thin, and online travel agencies have numerous payments to make abroad; therefore, international payment fees are eroding their margin
- Banks often charge unfair FX fees of up to 1%, and sometimes as much as 3%
- The currency volatility can have a big impact on the Online Travel Agencies’ (OTA) costs
- Suppliers, such as hotels and airlines, often demand payment within 48 hours, whereas cross-border transfers can take more than twice as long
- Reconciling payments across currencies is a manual nightmare
- Paying vendors/contractors internationally is a struggle because of delays and inefficiencies. SWIFT wires can take up to 5 days
- Regulations and scrutiny sometimes lead to payments that simply don’t go through
- Hundreds of payments need to be made weekly, sometimes even daily
- Reconciliation and multi-currency mismatches can pose significant challenges for the finance team
