Pay Global Suppliers & Invoices

Settle international invoices without expensive wire transfers


Overview

Settle international invoices and pay global suppliers without the high costs and delays of traditional wire transfers. Yellow Card's infrastructure lets businesses pay suppliers worldwide by depositing local currency, which converts to Stablecoins for instant transfer, then pays out in the supplier's local currency - eliminating expensive SWIFT fees and multi-day processing times.

How it works:

Your business deposits local currency → Converts to USD Stablecoins → Transfers instantly → Converts to supplier's local currency → Supplier receives payment in their preferred method.

Key Benefits:

  • Lower costs: 2-3% vs 3-7% with traditional wire transfers + SWIFT fees ($25-$50 per transaction)
  • Faster payments: Minutes to hours instead of 3-7 business days
  • Transparent pricing: Know exact costs and exchange rates upfront
  • Global reach: Pay suppliers in 50+ currencies across nearly 200 countries
  • No correspondent banking fees: Bypass intermediary bank charges

  • Marketplaces disbursing to global sellers and vendors
