In the world of global transactions, exporters and freelancers rely on traditional services like banks which often charge high transaction fees and credit processing time. To solve this problem, platforms like BRISKPE are providing international virtual accounts in under five minutes.
What is an international virtual account?
An international virtual account is referred to as a digital banking solution that allows businesses and freelancers to receive payment in multiple currencies. In simpler words, you can receive international payments without needing a physical bank account in each country.
A virtual account is designed specifically for international transactions and allows you to conduct cross-border transactions hassle-free. Using one platform, you can accept payments from clients around the world, convert currencies at favourable rates, and streamline your accounting processes. Your accounting processes can be streamlined, currencies can be converted at favourable rates, and payments can be received from around the world.
Benefits of an international virtual account
With the help of a virtual account, there are various benefits a goods & service exporter can enjoy. Some of them are-
- Cost-effective transactions
Banks usually charge high fees such as currency conversion fees, and wire transfer fees. Whereas virtual accounts help in saving money with lower transaction fees.
- Faster payments
While the traditional method of banking can take more time to credit your payment, a virtual account can do it much faster (within 48 hours). This can also help you manage the cash flow of your business.
- Multi-currency support
A virtual account can be made for various currencies that can help you cater to a wide range of clients without the hassle of currency conversion.
- Simplified accounting
Managing multiple international bank accounts can be inconvenient. Thus, various virtual accounts under one roof can make your accounting simpler and more efficient.
