Currenxie is a cross-border payment platform offering most elements that a growing company can take advantage of.

This includes receiving cross-border payments through APIs and payment gateways, sending cross-border transactions, and managing multi-currency accounts.

Exchange rates are agreed at the point of sign-up, meaning the more transactions you plan to make the better chance you will receive a lower rate overall.

One downside is the $3 or $8 cost from a multi-currency account. This can eat into the overall value you might receive by using Currenxie.
