Another critical aspect in earning customer trust is providing transparency. By enabling control and insight into transaction processes, users can confirm for themselves that they are getting what they asked for, when and how.
One company that has taken transparency to heart, is Sydney based Flash Payments, a cutting edge fintech startup, engineered from the ground up to deliver transparent foreign exchange transfer services, without hidden fees.
Flash Payments provides fast, secure and very competitive foreign exchange conversion services as an alternative to the existing opaque, siloed and inefficient banking networks.
Using the innovative Ripple technology platform and XRP, Ripple's digital currency, Flash Payments delivers extraordinary transparency, speed and transactional control to users.
Coupled with an exceptional user experience by delivering extraordinary user control built into the latest technology, Flash Payments is setting a new level of service standard.
With Flash Payments users pick the date; pick the rate; send funds like an email; track transfers like a package; all without any surprise charges. There are none.
This is in stark contrast to the banks, where global payments cost more, take more time, and the routeing is opaque.
So, whether you are a business or an individual you can now skip the banks and take control of your foreign exchange transfers.
