Until fairly recently, bank-initiated Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) transfers were the most common way companies sent or received funds from international partners overseas. While reliable, SWIFT transfers aren\u2019t cheap \u2014 and they\u2019re not always fast, either.<\/p><p>SWIFT has 11,000 members, all of whom are financial institutions. Simply put, the SWIFT system is a giant messaging service, which banks use to communicate with each other. When bank reps initiate transactions, transfer details \u2014 account numbers and amounts, for instance \u2014 are sent between banks via SWIFT.\u00a0<\/p><p>Online payment service providers generally don\u2019t use the SWIFT system to send payments. Instead, they use their own networks, or peer-to-peer systems, which &#8220;swap&#8221; incoming and outgoing transfers to achieve more favourable exchange rates. fintechs have a financial advantage over banks because of these innovative transfer methods: after all, reduced overheads and better exchange rates mean lower fees for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc55cb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fc55cb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Avoiding online payment service provider pitfalls<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dd35e3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1dd35e3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Are online service providers all the same, then?

Below, we\u2019ll explore some of the most important features that leading international payment companies have in common:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Robust security features:<\/strong>\u00a0the best online payment service providers are fully PCI DSS compliant and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/uk\/psd2\/\">Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) compliant<\/a>. Companies like WorldFirst encourage users to create strong passwords, and never ask for login information via text or telephone.<\/li><li><strong>Easy account management:<\/strong>\u00a0modern business happens in the office and on the go. Some world-class payment providers have intuitive smartphone apps, so customers can initiate transactions and check incoming transfers while away from their desks.<\/li><li><strong>Personalised service:<\/strong>\u00a0look for an international payment solution with personalised service as standard. If you send business-related funds on a large scale, ask your potential payment partner if they\u2019ll provide a personal account rep.<\/li><li><strong>Competitive exchange rates:<\/strong>\u00a0the more competitive your provider\u2019s exchange rates, the better, and always ask if you can lock in exchange rates for months, rather than days.<\/li><li><strong>Accounting software integration:<\/strong>\u00a0unless you enjoy poring through transaction records, go for a payment company with an accounting software API.<\/li><li><strong>Speedy payments:<\/strong>\u00a0faster payments mean healthier global business connections. Ensure that your chosen fintech has the infrastructure to support quick payments to any country in the world \u2014 including mainland China.<\/li><li><strong>Good customer service:<\/strong>\u00a0good customer service is an essential part of any international payment partnership. If customer service reps are hard to reach, or if they can\u2019t answer your questions, consider another provider.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-500d866 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"500d866\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Easy online payments with WorldFirst<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dcef743 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1dcef743\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With the right international payment partner at your side, financial transactions can flow smoothly, too.
