Grow International Sales with Optimized Cross-Border Payments

Global Sales Should Create Business Opportunities, Not Challenges

As a global business, you know cross-border payments, or card payments from issuing banks in one region being processed by an acquiring bank in another, are complex. Different geographies involve different currencies, regulations and payment types, often leading to multiple software integrations just to accept the payments.

Additionally, cross-border payments can suffer from higher costs, lower authorization rates and increased checkout abandonment.

But BlueSnap’s Global Payment Orchestration Platform offers a better way to process cross-border payments so you can get a better ROI.

200

billion dollars spent annually on transaction and FX fees for cross-border payments. With BlueSnap’s approach to cross-border payment processing, you can reduce your fees and improve your authorization rate.

Cross-Border Fees: Are They Necessary?

Card brands charge businesses up to an additional 2% in cross-border fees on top of the standard interchange fees due to the perception that cross-border payments are high-risk. BlueSnap helps businesses avoid unnecessary fees by processing cross-border payments as if they were local whenever possible, in accordance to card brand rules. With the Payment Orchestration Platform, we are able to leverage our global network of banks, local currencies and payment methods, and more all to reduce your costs when selling internationally.
