Disrupting the cross-border payment market
28 May 2026
Every year, USD 43tr moves across borders.
Traditional banks earn an estimated USD 230bn from international payment fees. Most customers have little idea how much they are paying – or why transfers can still be so slow and cumbersome.
Change is coming, though. The G20 has made reducing cross-border payment costs a priority and is pushing the industry towards significantly lower fees by 2030.
For many banks, adapting is easier said than done. Legacy payment infrastructure is often outdated, complex, and expensive to replace.
One publicly listed company has developed an alternative.
Its technology allows banks to offer faster, cheaper international payments without rebuilding their entire system. In return, the company earns a 'toll-road' fee for the use of its infrastructure.
