Within the ever-evolving landscape of cross-border B2B payments,FiveWest has identified four significant challenges that businesses in South Africa encounter when sending or receiving international transactions. FiveWest’s comprehensive and tailored solutions combat these obstacles through fast, secure and cost-effective Global Payment Solutions.

1. Lack of Transparency

South African businesses are facing challenges in effectively tracking the sources and destinations of their funds. Inaccurate or delayed payment tracking impacts cash flow, affecting the ability to manage operational expenses and investments effectively. This causes knock-off effects, negatively affecting multiple departmental functions. The continuous lack of transparency causes direct challenges for businesses to efficiently track the status of their transactions, leading to uncertainty and disputes.

2. High Transaction Costs

Navigating international transactions involves contending with volatile currency exchange rates, which directly influence the value of payments. Sudden changes in exchange rates can lead to unexpected financial losses. While traditional international payments often involve fees related to currency conversion, wire transfers, and intermediary bank charges. These costs can add up, and reduce the overall profitability of the transactions.

3. Tracking Multiple Payments

Complexities arise when managing the intricate task of tracking large volumes of incoming and outgoing payments, across various international platforms. The spin-off effects from these complexities make it increasingly difficult to manually track and reconcile each payment accurately.

4. Delays in Processing Times

Delays in receiving or sending payments disrupt business operations and cash flow. These cross-border B2B payment delays are often attributed to the involvement of multiple financial institutions, compliance checks, and differences in banking systems.
