Excessive fees cost foreign exchange users over $1.5 trillion annually

These days more technology is at your disposal than ever before. Indeed, if needed, most banking can be done from mobile devices, including global wire transfers. However, peel back the curtain on the actual practices used to execute the transactions, and things have not changed much for the banks and traditional currency exchange houses.

Cross-border payment networks remain fragmented and siloed, plagued by high forex costs, lengthy settlement times, and a poor customer experience. Cross-border payments continue to be routed through a series of correspondent banking relationships across a diverse set of messaging and settlement protocols. It’s an opaque labyrinth.

These systemic inefficiencies cost all participants, including payment originators, banks and market makers, over $1.5 trillion annually. This may be good news for those collecting fees, but it’s a bad deal for consumers.
