Visa and Currencycloud have launched Visa Cross-Border Solutions, which delivers cross-border money movement solutions for banks, fintechs, FX brokers and other payment institutions.
Visa Cross-Border Solutions combines its homegrown cross-border and cash management capabilities with solutions enabled by its acquisition of Currencycloud. Visa Cross-Border Solutions operates on a ‘B2B4X’ model, meaning the business serves other businesses but has a focus on improving end-user experience.

Who is the end-user?
Who that end-user is varies. It could be someone who needs competitive and transparent FX rates when sending remittances to family abroad. Or it could be an SMB that wants to receive payment from an international customer without intermediaries charging opaque fees.
Visa Cross-Border Solutions offers a suite of modular building blocks which can be easily integrated with a company’s existing technology infrastructure. This is done via an application programming interface, or API. These building blocks enable a range of capabilities including receiving payments in multiple currencies, foreign exchange (FX) with persistent and real-time rates, multi-currency wallets that hold more than 30 currencies. These currencies can be spend in and sent to more than 180 countries and territories.
Outside of traditional banking, Visa Cross-Border Solutions will work alongside other Visa divisions as well as with existing Visa and Currencycloud customers including corporates, fintechs, FX brokers, and other firms who want to offer embedded multi-currency and cross-border functionality to their customers.
Colleen Ostrowski, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Visa Cross-Border Solutions, said: “Cross-Border offers a huge opportunity for innovation and growth. Until now it’s always been a difficult market to crack due to compliance, regulatory and technological challenges. We’re offering solutions that can overcome those challenges.
