🌍 Cross-Border Payments: Facilitating International Transactions
Cross-Border Payments refer to financial transactions where the payer and the recipient are located in different countries. These payments are crucial for facilitating international trade, e-commerce, foreign direct investment, and remittances by individuals.
Historically, these payments have been complex, expensive, slow, and non-transparent, relying heavily on traditional correspondent banking networks. However, the sector is currently undergoing rapid transformation driven by Fintech and DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology).
