Besides, the solution provides an integrated user experience, simple steps that allow payments to be made easily, same business day payments, “transparent” exchange rates and a “streamlined” application process that enables businesses to get almost immediate response.

The solution was inspired by the survey conducted in June 2022 among over 300 American small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Amex claims one-quarter (27%) of respondents cited complexity as one of the top obstacles to making cross-border payments. Besides, nearly half (48%) the respondents said they were looking for transparent fees and rates, along with a simple user experience (44%).
