    • Collect, hold, and disburse funds in 20+ currencies, eliminating forced FX conversions and keeping costs low.

    • Funds are secure stored and protected with end-to-end encryption and bank-level security.

    • No account opening fees, maintenance charges, or minimum transaction requirements.

  2. Competitive FX Rates Made Simple ๐Ÿ’ฑ

    • Access over 1,000 currency pairs and exchange funds at highly competitive FX rates.

    • Hold balances in major currencies for instant conversion when needed.

    • Lock in FX rates to avoid unpredictable currency fluctuations, mitigating risk through cost predictability.

  3. Fast and Localised Payouts ๐Ÿ’ธ

    • Transfers in as little as 20 minutes, compared to traditional SWIFT payments that take up to a week.

    • Use batch payments to streamline bulk disbursements.

  4. Frictionless Onboarding & Security ๐Ÿ”„
