For businesses engaged in international trade, when will the money arrive is often a greater concern than how much does it cost.
A small to medium-sized battery exporter based in Shenzhen once shared his experience customers in Mexico wanted to pay in pesos, clients in Argentina in local currency, buyers in the Middle East and Europe in US dollars and euros respectively. He could not open bank accounts in every country, nor could he monitor exchange rates and settlement timelines around the clock. What truly affected his business were the long shipping cycles, slow payment turnaround, and currency volatility.
The core challenge in cross-border collections time is money.
Traditional bank wire transfers via SWIFT typically pass through multiple intermediary banks, with settlement times ranging from two to five business days. For exporters, this means longer working capital tie-up and slower cash flow velocity. A one-week delay in receiving payment can postpone raw material procurement by an entire week, disrupting the entire supply chain.
FINARCT LIMITED is focused on addressing this challenge by building an end-to-end local payment network. Our objective is to enable businesses in key trading jurisdictions to collect and settle funds directly in local currencies, with payments processed through local clearing systems to substantially reduce transit time.
Why settlement speed is particularly critical for B2B trade
Unlike personal remittances, B2B cross-border transactions involve multiple stages—order placement, shipment, and payment settlement. The speed at which customers pay directly impacts production scheduling and supply chain operations. When a key client’s payments are consistently delayed, businesses may face
– Tightened cash flow and inability to pay upstream suppliers on time
– Missed favorable exchange rate windows and increased FX costs
– Delayed response to new order opportunities
