In particular, FX fintechs have simplified making and receiving international payments, making them\u00a0cheaper\u00a0and beneficial for the SMEs or eCommerce merchants using their services. So how have these fintech companies continued to impact the FX and payments landscape?<\/p><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>1. A move towards omnichannel efficiency<\/strong><\/h5><p>Fintech companies have mapped their product suite directly to their client journey while ensuring that engagement is digitally-led. A key outcome of employing this approach is to help an SME business to provide a seamless experience for their customers.<\/p><p>At\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WorldFirst<\/a>, we have made the management of funds generated through marketplaces easier, streamlining the following benefits for our clients, who can benefit from:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">no transfer or collection limits<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">free overseas accounts in 14 different currencies<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">payment options in 40+ currencies<\/li><\/ul><p>WorldFirst helps online merchants seamlessly drive their businesses through the use of our\u00a0World Account\u00a0\u2013 a free-to-open account which acts as a single channel whereby merchants can securely manage their international payments.<\/p><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>2. Ensuring more flexibility<\/strong><\/h5><p>Some fintech companies offer greater flexibility in the types of payments they manage. But what about international transfers? Historically, international transfers have carried high fees which any financial director in their business would look to avoid or reduce. What are the types of flexible services which SMEs could use?<\/p><p>At WorldFirst, our clients can benefit from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/au\/business\/spot-contracts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0spot contracts,<\/a>\u00a0which is the simplest form of international payment. As a client of ours, you can access a rate based on live market rates or \u201cspot\u201d and you can choose whether to transact there and then. With a spot contract, you can make a payment quickly; as soon as you\u2019ve agreed your rate and sent us the funds, we\u2019ll take care of the rest.<\/p><p>The benefit of this way of making international transfers is that fees are lower than some traditional banks. Depending on the sum, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfirst.com\/au\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fees go as low as 0.15%<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25a31d17 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"25a31d17\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45cd558a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"45cd558a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a1a52b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a1a52b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 02-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Open a World Account for free<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16307b82 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16307b82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Open 10+ local currency accounts with local account details<\/li><li>Direct CNH payments to 1688.com<\/li><li>Pay suppliers, partners and staff in 40+ currencies and 130+ destinations<\/li><li>Collect secure payments from 100+ marketplaces and payment gateways, including Amazon, AliExpress, Paypal and Shopify<\/li><li>Lock in currency conversion rates for up to 24 months<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34e8a9a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"34e8a9a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/portal.worldfirst.com\/register?region=SG\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get started<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-158cb95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"158cb95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>3.
