What problem does it solve?
On average, companies write off 1.5% of their receivables as bad debt – for a $50M company, that equates to a $750K expense each year. In the UK, 50% of businesses receive late payments from customers overseas.
Global Collections helps alleviate the problem of delayed and overdue payments from overseas by using local accounts to collect money.
What does this mean in practice?
- You get paid by your overseas customers faster.
- Your customers can pay invoices locally, in their home country rather than using slow, expensive international wire transfers.
- The money is available quickly (same or next day) and can be converted into any of our 35 currencies before being paid back to you.
What the Global Collections account does
The Global Collections account gives you local accounts to speed up payments in the US and the Eurozone, all without the need for opening up a local bank account.
As the holder of a global collection account, you will be able to collect USD or Euro payments without incurring fees and ultimately, receive money more easily.
Please note our minimum transaction is the currency equivalent of 1,000 GBP.
