Navigating cross-border payment processes can be challenging for businesses needing to pay suppliers and vendors in different countries. The traditional payment method through the SWIFT network can be slow and costly, causing frustration and delays.
So we at Statrys are excited to announce that we've teamed up with a global payment system to offer local payment solutions. This new feature eliminates the need for currency conversion and international transaction fees, making the payment process simpler and more cost-effective.
As of today, our clients can easily pay businesses and individuals in:
- Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) in Hong Kong
- Chinese Yuan (CNY) in Hong Kong
- Australian Dollars (AUD) in Australia
- US Dollars (USD) in the USA
- Thai Bath (THB) in Thailand
- Vietnam Dồng (VND) in Vietnam
- Indian Rupee (INR) in India
- Euros (EUR) available in 33 European countries
- British pound sterling (GBP) in the UK
- Philippine Peso (PHP) in the Philippines
- Singaporean Dollars (SGD) in Singapore
- Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) in Indonesia
- Turkish Lira (TRY) in Turkey
- Korean Won (KRW) in South Korea
We're always working to improve our platform, and we plan to add more local payout options in the future. Stay tuned for updates!
