Cost-efficient cross-border revenue collections

Despite its complexity, expansion into international markets is often a sound business growth strategy. However, businesses need to consider transaction fees and other cross-border costs that can significantly impact their yield. Bank transaction fees are just the tip of the iceberg.

International revenue collection costs could go up to 7 percent depending on the currency, payment service provider, and payment method.

Success requires proper planning and investing in the right sales process.
