Can Canadian businesses send real-time payments to suppliers in Europe? 

Europe has real-time payment rails like SEPA Instant, and others specific to countries, such as Faster Payments in the UK, SIC in Switzerland, and many more.

Swipe right to learn about SEPA Instant, how the real-time payment network works in Europe, and how Canadian businesses can leverage SEPA Instant to pay their suppliers. 👉

Have you ever spent time browsing multiple sites for bank address information while sending supplier payments? 🔍

It’s a common issue when suppliers provide bank routing numbers but miss out on the bank address information.

Finance teams in Canadian companies waste a lot of time searching multiple websites for bank addresses—this information is often not readily available and is scattered everywhere.

To make your life easier, we’ve built a comprehensive section on our website that acts as a single source for all bank address information in major countries.

If you just have your UK sort code, Australia BSB code, Canada's institution + transit number, or US routing number—we’ve got you covered. 

Just enter it and get all the information about banks—address, branch information, SWIFT/BIC codes, and more!

Have you ever wondered how good is the "best currency exchange rate" offered by your bank, broker, or fintech?

It’s like a sealed black box, leaving businesses and individuals guessing. 

Banks and brokers love to keep their FX spreads or markups a secret, making it nearly impossible to know what you’re really paying for currency conversions.

We’re shining a light on this black box! 

Launching Finofo’s Markup Analysis tool that helps you find out how good is the currency exchange rate you get with your FX provider,  

Using this tool is super simple—just enter details on your last few currency conversions, and the tool calculates the goodness of your "best currency exchange rate".

No more guesswork – it's time to see exactly what you're paying!

If your business operates internationally, you know the struggle of dealing with global payments and currency conversions. You're either relying on banks, FX brokers, or fintechs for global money movement.

Firstly, how did FX brokers come into the picture? Back in the 80s, banks weren’t really helping companies with global money movement. 

Brokerage firms saw an opportunity and offered a simple value proposition: "I can handle your global payments and provide better exchange rates than banks."

This approach worked, the FX brokerage business took off, and they quickly opened offices in major cities across North America, starting to acquire business customers. They prospered on a direct sales and relationship model, which still holds today.

However, what worked in the 1980s is utterly failing businesses now. Companies have evolved, customers have embraced technology, and new players—fintech companies—have entered the market. 

Brokers clinging to outdated models or technology are falling behind, expecting businesses to endure their inefficiencies in a world that has moved on.

We've seen customers move away from brokers and come on board with Finofo, and they often share these common pain points:

- Brokers constantly changing exchange rates
- Frequent delays in global payments to suppliers
- Manual processes with ERPs due to brokers' lack of tech adoption
- A lack of transparency and accountability

Here's a quick look at what happens when brokers don't broker for your interest. Swipe right. 👉
