What is a global business account that manages cards, expenses, and money transfers?

Probably the biggest pain point, when a business wants to transfer money internationally, is the heavy forex and bank charges.

The money transfer system within Volopay is built with infrastructure that allows us to levy the lowest interchange fees and in some cases no FX fees thanks to the multi currency capability.

To further minimize the extra cost of sending money internationally, we give our customers the ability to create multi currency accounts that let you store and transfer money in the local currency of a country so that you save money on conversion charges.

Wiring money domestically is also extremely fast thanks to a simplified transferring system.

Part of Volopay’s business account is the option to get corporate credit cards to manage employee expenses. You can issue one physical card per employee and also create unlimited virtual cards through the Volopay dashboard.

You can set spending limits and create approval policies within our platform and control expenses for each card.

All transactions occurring through Volopay are recorded on our system in real-time. This gives your finance team and admins on the platform visibility of overall expenses.

This cuts down the time that employees spend making expense reports and also helps a business stay on top of how the company budget is being utilized.

Our entire expense management software system is a way for your organization to manage all accounts payable.

Corporate cards help you streamline employee expenses and money transfer features help with paying vendors within domestic as well as international borders.

Many businesses deal with vendors and suppliers located in different countries. Paying these vendors can be a hassle if you don’t have a multi currency account for business.

By holding multiple currencies within a single global business account, you can easily manage all vendors without having to worry about setting up separate payment methods for them.

Volopay's business account lets you transfer money through non-SWIFT as well as SWIFT payment methods.

So even though we use a simplified banking system, we still maintain the safety and security of your money for domestic and international transfers by adhering to all the security protocols and using safe payment networks like SWIFT.

A payment method you use for your business might not be available or suitable for a vendor that you are dealing with in another country.

With multiple vendors in multiple countries, a business usually ends up having to set up various payment platforms to accommodate this drawback.

With Volopay, you can simply use a single platform for all your transfers as we support 65+ currencies in 100+ countries.

The slow transfer of funds is usually the roadblock when it comes to carrying out business operations efficiently.

Digitization of the economy, especially the financial industry has helped tremendously in the speed of operations. A FinTech platform like Volopay is very agile and can process payments much faster than traditional networks.

Not only is using a global currency account extremely convenient for you, but also for the people and businesses that you are transferring money to.

When vendors and suppliers receive money quickly and on time, it helps to nurture and build your business relationship with them.

While most companies have moved their vendor payments online, there are still many who carry out their vendor payouts using cash or cheque because they feel it is safer.

Any transaction you carry out through Volopay corporate credit cards or the money transfer feature is all protected with industry-grade security protocols so that your finances and sensitive data are safe.

Domestic money transfers on Volopay are extremely fast. Money transfers that usually take up to a day or two on traditional banking networks take minutes using our platform.

An agile accounts payable system like this helps your business stay on top of all expenses that are due and finish paying them within minutes.

Money transfers through Volopay are processed much faster than traditional methods and hence the receiver receives their payment much quicker.

This in turn leads to faster operations and cost-effectiveness in terms of the time that it takes for your business to move forward and get things done.

The local payment transfer method using our platform is great for businesses in various use cases. Two of the most commonly needed and used circumstances are that of paying local vendors and your employees.

The salary of every employee in the same country can be processed much faster and also easily recorded in your accounting software automatically thanks to our seamless integrations with accounting tools.

A great feature you get with Volopay’s money transfer system is the ability to schedule and set recurring payments for vendor invoices.

You can create recurring payments for regular vendors who supply the same material each month.

You can also schedule payments on a custom date of your choice or set them to automatically pay the invoices once an approver on the system approves the payment request.

The reason why Volopay can offer you cheaper interchange fees as compared to legacy banking systems is the simplified infrastructure that our platform is built on.

While it is more simplified, we have still managed to enhance the level of safety and security with better transfer speeds.

When you use Volopay to transfer money internationally, you get to control your budget spending by setting up approval policies and enforcing them.

So if an employee is sending a vendor payment using the bill pay feature, it will be notified to the approvers.

Only once they approve it will the amount be deducted from your account and be transferred to the respective entity.

Traditional banks often have to rely on a wide network of banks to carry out currency conversion and then finally transfer the amount that you send.

The backend infrastructure of Volopay allows money to be transferred much more quickly as compared to traditional banks thanks to the multi currency support.

Every transfer that you carry out through Volopay is instantly recorded in an expense tab. This is a type of ledger on the platform that allows you to view and sync the transactions automatically with your accounting software after you have reviewed them.

So it is not just the financial part of transferring money that the platform simplifies for you but also the accounting of it.

Your business might have many vendors spread across different places. It can become tough to manage all their accounts and related information.

Volopay allows you to create individual and corporate vendor accounts directly on the platform with all the necessary information to carry out payments.

This way, you don’t have to enter a vendor’s details every time you need to make a payment to them.

The common problem with having different vendors in different countries is the aspect of not being able to pay all of them through a single platform due to currency and regulation issues.

Instead of using separate payment methods for different vendors, Volopay makes it easy to pay and track all payments through one single platform.

Setting up a global currency account on Volopay is extremely simple.

With minimal documentation and a fast and interactive onboarding process, we ensure that you can start using your Volopay business account as soon as possible.

Our customer success team is always just a message away to help you with any problem or queries you may have.

An essential benefit of multi currency account is that it allows your business to bypass all the time it takes for money to be converted from one currency to another when using traditional banking services online.

Since you will be using a wallet that holds money in the receiver’s currency, the transaction will be processed much quicker.

A multi currency wallet reduces transfer costs by removing these intermediaries in the transfer process.

Since there is no currency conversion taking place when you use the local currency of the receiver to transfer money from Volopay, you get the benefit of saving money on those charges and also incur the lowest interchange fee on our platform for foreign transactions.

Volopay’s multi currency account for business lets you transfer money in 65+ currencies in over 100+ countries.

This includes all the major currencies that the global economy uses for international transactions. Our platform is also being updated with support for new currencies and countries periodically.

In the case that you need to send a payment with a currency that is currently not supported by our platform, you can still do so as we offer the lowest exchange rates possible in the market.

Being able to hold money in different currencies through a single business account is not something that you would come across with traditional banks

The ability to do so is truly an advantage to the financial efficiency of your company when you choose to use a FinTech solution like Volopay.

Traditionally, when you are sending money from your country to another one, there can be multiple banks in between for the transaction to pass through and make the currency conversion happen.

Each extra mediator will charge a small percentage of the transaction for their service. You can avoid these costs by having a digital business account on Volopay.

A simplified money transfer system is not just fast but also more secure. The fewer points your money has to go through in a transaction, the better it is.

An online business account reduces the number of entry points for hackers or fraudulent activity to occur.

Since a transaction passes through fewer to almost no intermediaries when you send money using Volopay, the cost you incur will also be very low.

A Volopay business account offers the lowest FX exchange rates and markup fees. If you use a multi-currency wallet, there is no FX cost at all.

Every transaction, be it a vendor payment or employee salary disbursement that you carry out through Volopay is recorded in real-time on the platform.

The financial controller or the admins can see these at all times and be aware of how, who, and when company funds are being spent.
