Realising cross-border payment for multiple currencies

With the development and convenience of international trade, more and more UK business merchants realise the importance of cross-border payment solutions for market development.


What is the cross-border payment?

Cross-border payment refers to the behaviour of transnational and inter-regional transfer of funds. This transaction can happen between two or more countries or regions due to international economic activities and other business scenarios with the help of certain settlement tools and payment systems.

Simply put, it is to let your consumers pay with their preferred payment methods anytime, anywhere, and only need to cooperate with a payment service provider to accept, process and settle global payment transactions.

Merchants in the UK hope to expand their international business, and further expand the international market. To achieve all of this, the most important thing is to allow consumers to pay in their country’s currency and customary payment methods. Meanwhile, all the collections will settle by providers safely and quickly. In the end, providers settle the collection into the merchant’s commercial bank account.

The funds are settled in GBP through the payment platform to GlobePay’s safeguarded account. After that, the settlement will be settled directly into the merchant’s commercial bank account.
