In announcing the collaboration, Kyriba cited an internal survey that revealed that most of the financial executives are unclear about the fees applied by banks for FX payments.

Of those polled, 37% said that they do not have visibility into the payment fees.

When queried on the parameters to consider switching to a new cross-border payments provider, respondents cited more favourable FX translation rates, bank fee reduction, better transparency and traceability.

Kyriba EVP of worldwide indirect sales Karthik Manimozhi said: “We are maniacally focussed on identifying, isolating and eliminating inefficiencies for our clients.

“There has never been a better time for senior leaders to consolidate operational gaps and optimise opportunities with modern technologies.”
