<p><img src="https://content.mtfxgroup.com/uploads/large_untitled_1_4ef9780aec_ea0e214082.webp" alt="How to Reduce Costs when Doing Business Internationally?"><br>&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re dealing with overseas customers, you are undoubtedly experiencing additional costs for doing business, especially in currency exchange. Wire transfers, bank foreign currency exchange transaction fees, and other opaque costs could be costing you 5 cents on every dollar in revenue—simply because of inefficiencies in your overseas payment collection processing.&nbsp;</p><p>You also can relate to the&nbsp;survey results¹ reported on Yahoo! CISION. As the global economy bounces back from the COVID-19 pandemic, business finance leaders listed expanding their products into new global regions among the top five choices in driving new revenue.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>In 2022, digital payments are on the rise, with between 50% and 89% of accounts receivables paid over the internet—compared to less than half in 2021. What survey respondents say are still continuing obstacles to moving to digital payments are the following:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>47% feared cybersecurity attacks and payment fraud.&nbsp;</li><li>44% lacked payment systems and the infrastructure to handle cross-border payments online.&nbsp;</li><li>40% cited the cost of services as a major concern.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><p>So, the reason it costs your business money when your overseas customer settles a bill is all about how currency exchange rates and bank conversion fees can chip away at your business profits.</p><p>For example, if your customer sends you a wire payment for&nbsp;USD 125,000, a&nbsp;<a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/currency-charts/?to=cad&amp;from=usd">fluctuation</a>&nbsp;of just 3 cents in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/live-exchange-rates/">currency exchange rate</a> between the dollar and the customer’s currency could result in a CAD 3750 difference—a loss or a gain, depending on which side of the exchange you are on.&nbsp;</p><h2>How Can I Receive Money from my Overseas Customer?</h2><p><a target="_blank"  href="https://online.mtfxgroup.com/register/?source_page=how-to-reduce-costs-when-doing-business-internationally?">Register for a business account</a>&nbsp;at MTFX and your business can offer a variety of payment options.

Currency Exchange Fluctuations Can Put your Business at Risk

<figure class="image"><img src="https://content.mtfxgroup.com/uploads/large_currency_conversion_7cb2e00ae1_16c7358fa6.webp" alt="Top-down view of a hand using a calculator next to an invoice form and a notepad listing amount, tax, and conversion—symbolizing international supplier payment calculations."></figure><p>When dealing with global suppliers, is it easier to pay them in their local currency or U.S. dollars? There may be no pat answer that applies to every country. In fact, many countries tie their currency value directly to the U.S. dollar, which can add stability to local exchange rates and speed up transactions.</p><h2>Advantages of Paying in Local Currency</h2><p>On the other hand, there are a number of advantages to paying your foreign vendors in their local currency. For example:</p><h3>Middlemen Take their Cuts:</h3><p>When you pay your foreign client in U.S. dollars, that money needs to be converted. That conversion takes place at the local bank, and everyone between you and the vendor takes their cut in transaction fees.</p><p>Then there are those irritating hidden fees, which everyone hates. In addition to the normal processing charges, there could be a conversion charge—and you can count on an exchange rate that will favor the bank.</p><h3>Conversion Takes Time and Irritates Customers:</h3><p>When the third-party institution converts the U.S. dollars, you are also looking at transaction delays and fielding impatient complaints. Paying in the local currency upfront can keep your business flowing on a reliable, even keel, keeping your suppliers happy with a faster cash flow.</p><h3>Fluctuating Exchange Rates are a Problem:</h3><p>Speaking of conversion rates, paying in U.S. dollars involves dealing with the volatility of exchange rates. From the time you are billed until the payment lands in the foreign bank account, the conversion rate differences could well eat into your profits.</p><p>As one safeguard against fluctuating <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/mtfx-rate-calculator/">currency exchange rates</a>, your vendors, who also want to protect their profits, might pad their price quotes. That padding, of course, is in the vendor’s favor, so you’re paying more for your overseas products. Pay in local currency, and both you and the vendor know the exact price.</p><h3>Accounting Errors, Combined with Exchange Rates, can be Costly and Time-Consuming:</h3><p>Then there are those inevitable Accounting errors that take time to correct. With cross-border payments, correcting billing and payment errors can be time-consuming and costly. Sure, mistakes happen, but when correcting those mistakes includes complicated currency conversion—well, you get the picture.</p><h3>It's Easier and Simpler to Pay in Local Currency:</h3><p>Pay in foreign currency, and you can deal with problems without the additional headache of currency conversion. It’s a matter of simplifying reconciliation. If the mistake or dispute with a British vendor involves £10000 it’s simpler to just deal in pounds sterling rather than $13200, which one month ago could have been at an increased exchange rate of $13400.</p><h3>With Local Currency, there are Fewer Intermediaries.</h3><p>Your suppliers receive the funds faster. Using MTFX accelerates the process further with quick turnarounds, reducing the involvement of foreign financial institutions, and guarantees the best available <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/live-exchange-rates/">currency exchange rate</a>.</p><h2>How MTFX Solves the Problem of Paying your Vendors in Local Currency?</h2><p>With <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/">MTFX</a>, as a business customer, you can send payments directly to your overseas vendors in the local currency with a secure online platform where you can send money worldwide in over 50 currencies to over 200 countries.</p><p>MTFX guarantees bank-beating exchange rates that are lower than banks.

The Benefits of Paying Overseas Suppliers in their Own Currency

<figure class="image"><img src="https://content.mtfxgroup.com/uploads/medium_5_step_overseas_payment_a5b783232a_2117ec2dcf.webp" alt="fingerprint hero image"></figure><p>In an overseas payment transaction where you receive money from customers, the process is relatively straightforward. Your customers pay through a variety of methods and portals, and the money shows up in your account.</p><p>However, your outbound <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/transfer-money/">overseas payments</a> to suppliers, employees, etc., are more complicated. Your payments run a gauntlet of verification, foreign exchange filters, and compliance checks, which slow everything down and add additional costs of doing business.</p><p>You can either run that gauntlet on your own, or you can use a payment platform to automate and expedite your cross-border payments. The process includes the following basic steps:</p><h2>1. The Beginning, or the “Who”</h2><p>The payer has to collect all the necessary information on the payee or the beneficiary of the payment. That includes the person’s, or the company’s name, how they prefer to receive the funds, and where they are located. That will determine what country and currency in which they will receive the payment.</p><p>Then there is the added complication of how different countries identify their banks and what additional information they need as regards members’ accounts. For example, in the US, the payer needs to know the receiver’s bank routing number as well as the account number. Most of Europe, on the other hand, requires a single international bank account number for <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/business/global-payment-solutions/international-payments/">money transfers</a>.</p><p>The good news is that most internationally compatible payment systems account for those differences by altering required submission fields. That is where an automated third-party payment platform can help.</p><h2>2. Knowing What the Exchange Rate is</h2><p>Big banks offer an apparent convenience of static <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/">foreign exchange rates</a>. Those rates do not account for fluctuations in FX values, and the banks typically apply an inflation factor or “spread.” They make money on the spread, and they conceal those earnings in service and fee charges.</p><p>MTFX, on the other hand, updates <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/live-exchange-rates/">currency exchange rates</a> in real-time. Users can use the latest exchange rates to approve this stage of the payment before continuing with the transaction.</p><h2>3. When and Where the Payer Submits the Payment</h2><p>At this point, the payer is ready to press the “send” button. This last step involves the user’s close check of all the transaction-specific data. The data must include everything the overseas country requires as compliance details necessary for processing the payment.</p><p>This step is a summary of the transaction. It itemizes the reasons for the fund transfer—the goods or services being purchased—and it confirms the exact amount of funds required in exchange for the latter.</p><p>This review of transaction details represents the tally of charges and must take into account accompanying local taxes and FX exchange rates described above.</p><h2>4. Why Compliance Checks and Screening are Necessary</h2><p>This is a screening stage where the host bank or payment provider like <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/">MTFX</a> initially receives the payment. The screening includes checks that include region-specific tests, including safeguards against identity fraud, among other protections.</p><p>Compliance checks, while varying slightly from country to country, usually include cross-checking transaction information for consistency with existing records as well as verifying the identity of the beneficiary of the payment.</p><h2>5. The End: The Transaction is Finished</h2><p>This is the end of the transaction. Funds are paid to the beneficiary’s account.</p><h2>Not so Fast. There could be an Additional Waiting Period…</h2><p>Even when the agreed-upon funds arrive in the beneficiary’s account, some countries impose a break in the process before the account holder can actually access the money. Many banks in Asia or Africa, for example, commonly ask for additional proof of a transaction invoice before they execute the final transaction.</p><h2>Expediting the Process with MTFX</h2><p>The 5-step process described above can move at a snail’s pace or lightning-fast, depending on whether multiple parties perform the steps manually, or if it is automated and transparent.</p><p>For example, if you passively accept bank FX exchange rates as a cost of doing business, you might be paying additional fees if that bank has to outsource its currency exchange services.

5 Important Steps in the Overseas Payment Process

<figure class="image"><img src="https://content.mtfxgroup.com/uploads/medium_forign_exchange_market_9427391cf1_367b49976b.webp" alt="Two people analyzing financial data on a laptop screen, which displays colorful charts and graphs, representing foreign exchange trends and market insights."></figure><p>If you do business outside Canada, you need to know about currency foreign exchange or FX. If you are leaving FX rates and charges to chance, you are likely being overcharged.   &nbsp;</p><p>The good news is that where small businesses were once at the mercy of big financial institutions, modern technology has leveled the playing field in the world of FX. A basic understanding of how FX works will help you get a handle on your cash flow, keep more of your profits, and satisfy your overseas customers.&nbsp;</p><h2>The FX Market Is Huge &amp; Misunderstood</h2><p>The <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/live-exchange-rates/">FX market</a> is bigger than Wall Street and the U.S. Federal Reserve combined. It is the largest financial market in the world in terms of trading volume (about $6.6 trillion). Unlike Wall Street, it is neither regulated by governments nor well understood by laypersons. &nbsp;</p><p>As an “immaterial entity” it provides a platform to exchange, buy and sell, and speculate on the currency. Most of the trading in FX is purely speculative. The most spectacular example of FX dealing earning someone a fortune was George Soros’s famous bet against the British pound in 1992. He won the bet and profited over $1.25 billion.&nbsp;</p><h2>What Affects The FX Market And Currency Value</h2><p>Currency is just another tradable good. It obeys the law of supply and demand, and its value falls and rises based on a variety of financial, political, and psychological factors. Along with those intangibles, changes in the value of a country’s currency depend on what is happening both inside and outside that country.  &nbsp;</p><p>Bank interest rates, unemployment, inflation, and local monetary policy and regulation also affect the currency’s value.  External <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/economic-calendar/">market trends</a>, the international situation, and a country’s international reputation among speculators and investors also pile on to make currency value volatile.&nbsp;</p><h2>Exchange Rates Fluctuate, But International Exchange Stays Relatively Static</h2><p>A line graph of the value of a currency would look similar to the ups and downs of the Dow Jones daily average. Nevertheless, big financial institutions usually offer a relatively static and stable exchange rate for international payments. They can do that by adding an inflation factor that absorbs the ups and downs of the FX market.&nbsp;</p><p>Nevertheless, the FX market is stacked against businesses doing cross-border transactions. Businesses, rather than money exchangers, take all the risks because large financial institutions are autonomous. They are not required to provide transparency and only operate in their own self-interest.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank"  rel="noopener" href="/#DynamicTable" target="_blank" class="btn cmn-register-btn cmn-blue" data-anchor="#DynamicTable">Check The Latest Currency Exchange Rates</a></p></div><p style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</p><h2>The Ground Rules Are Changing, And The Tools Are There</h2><p>Returning to the good news, technological advances since George Soros broke the bank of England have leveled the playing field, and even the smallest business startups can get a handle on international FX.  The handle relies on getting a grip on understanding the FX system. &nbsp;</p><p>For the small business owner, the understanding begins with tapping into a stable and reliable payment process and finding a better international payment solution.  That solution will give small business owners more control over their revenue streams through real-time insight into currency exchange rates. That insight, in turn, will ultimately lower overseas prices for the customer and increase profits for the business.&nbsp;</p><h2>Are You Buying Or Selling Your Currency?</h2><p>When conducting cross-border business, you need to know whether your transaction involves FX buying or selling; i.e., what is the <i>base currency? </i>In FX trading, currency values appear in terms of a currency pair. The first currency in the pairing is the base currency. So the base currency determines the exchange rate quoted in a particular country. &nbsp;</p><p>For example: In trading <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/tools/currency-charts/?to=usd&amp;from=cad">CAD/USD</a>, the Canadian dollar is the base currency. The US dollar in this instance would be the secondary. Banks use those pairings to either bid on what they will pay for the base currency, or offer a selling price using the secondary currency. &nbsp;</p><p>So the difference between a bank’s bid and its offer to buy is the spread. The spread is the amount the bank will make on the deal. They influence that amount by bidding or offering on the low or high side, depending on how much they will save or earn. That difference hides in plain sight as the transaction fees, which accompany overseas business deals.&nbsp;</p><h2>The Key Is To Reduce The Spread</h2><p>Currency exchange rate fluctuations and opaque bank practices notwithstanding, you don’t have to be George Soros to gain control of your overseas cash transactions. You can trade at a <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/">lower fee</a> than offered by banks and FX brokers using a <a target="_blank"  href="https://www.mtfxgroup.com/"><strong>payment platform</strong></a><strong>.</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>Payment platforms have emerged as popular tools in today’s tech-savvy and consumer-oriented financial markets. Those platforms are an especially attractive option for businesses with finite resources and who would rather focus on making their product more competitive—without the encumbrance of keeping track of FX fluctuations and having to pass high transaction costs to their customers.&nbsp;</p><h2>Want To Learn More About Our Payment Platform?</h2><p>See how our payment platform can remove FX volatility from your overseas business cash flow.
