Traditionally, cross border B2B payments needed organizations to have a physical footprint and open a bank account in the locations they wanted to operate in. The integrated solution allows businesses to send and receive payments anywhere in the world in real time at a low cost that can generate revenue and, ultimately, profitability. "Banking Circle Virtual IBAN plays an invaluable role in delivering faster, cheaper payments to merchants transacting around the globe," remarks Anders la Cour, CEO of Banking Circle. "Unlike traditional business to business cross border payments, which can incur high bank charges and payment delays, our solution enables Ixaris to give customers their own virtual IBANs."
The challenges for Online Travel Agents (OTAs), including the need for settling transactions instantly, and having to pay multiple suppliers through multiple payment methods in various locations are screaming out for a solution. Ixaris eases these pain points by transforming payments from a profit-draining necessity to a fully optimized revenue stream. "It doesn't matter what payments and OTA has to do; We dynamically allocate the right virtual card through our optimization engine on the right scheme with the most suitable economics for the relevant use case or geography that the transaction is occurring," adds Brown.
