Stop Losing Money on Cross Border Payments: How TranzyPay Saves Your Business Thousands

The bank may charge you between 3% and 5% for an international money transfer. However, much of that cost can come from FX margins that you may not even realize you are paying.

For example, a $1,000 international transfer could cost you as much as $1,145 once FX margins and other fees are factored in.

For small and medium sized businesses, these costs can add up quickly, with invisible fees taking a significant share of annual income.

International B2B payments can also take at least one day to complete, leaving businesses waiting for their money while banks benefit from the delay.

There's a better way. TranzyPay eliminates the opacity, reduces costs, and puts expert FX guidance directly in your hands. Let’s see how.

The Hidden Tax on Your International Business

Each time you transfer money overseas through traditional banking channels, you may end up paying much more than you realize.

According to data provided by the European Central Bank, for nearly one third of all cross-border transactions, overall costs amount to more than 3%.

The losses can be even greater for small and medium sized businesses. According to the World Bank, transaction costs can account for up to 8% of SMEs' international revenue.

That is far from an insignificant amount. For example, you could be spending up to $40,000 per year on transferring $500,000 overseas.

Other Problems You May Not See Coming

The cost of international payments goes beyond the fees you see upfront. Currency movements, payment delays, and limited visibility can quietly reduce your margins.

Currency volatility is a good example. Exchange rates can move significantly between the time you agree on a transaction and the time you make the payment. Large companies often have treasury teams and hedging tools to manage this risk. Most SMEs do not. They simply check the rate when they need to pay, and by then, the market may have moved against them.

Then there is the issue of speed. Many international B2B payments take between one and five business days to arrive. As the money moves between banks and payment partners, each step can add delays, fees, and uncertainty.

This makes cash flow harder to manage. If you are unsure when a payment will arrive, you may need to keep extra cash available to cover your expenses, tying up money that could be used elsewhere in the business.

Fortunately, international payments are changing. Modern fintech platforms are making cross border payments faster, more transparent, and easier to manage, with better FX tools and clearer pricing.

The way money moves across borders is evolving. Businesses now have more efficient alternatives to traditional banking channels.

Multi-Currency Accounts That End Double Conversion Losses

Every time your funds are converted into your domestic currency and then converted again to pay your suppliers, you may pay twice for the conversion. With TranzyPay, you can hold, receive, and make payments in multiple currencies from one interface, helping you avoid unnecessary conversions and potentially save up to 1.5% per transaction compared with traditional banks.
