When it comes to cross-border payments, patience is a virtue — but fees are a reality. That’s because moving money between nations has long been plagued by inefficiencies, high costs and slow transaction times. These intractable problems have for decades hindered the global economy’s flow of funds and hamstrung the expansion ambitions of all but the largest multinationals.

Already, money movement innovations are revolutionizing the way money crosses borders and promises to make transactions faster, cheaper and more accessible.
