UNLOCK THE REVENUE POTENTIAL OF AN INTEGRATED GLOBAL PAYMENTS SOLUTION

Finance | 3 Minute Read

Reduce Transaction Costs. Eliminate Delays. Eliminate Currency Risk. Participate in Currency Hedge Revenue.

Organizations that move money through the international monetary system know the inherent risks associated with currency value fluctuations, payment delays and the associated losses on accounts payable and receivable. They also suffer through the daily difficulties of payment scheduling, currency management, currency risk, payment reconciliation and reporting for both accounting and legal requirements.
 
Many corporate executives are hard-wired to default to their bank for international payables and receivables. However, traditional banks not only charge a high rate, they are not designed to mitigate the risks of currency value fluctuations or handle exchanges in nearly every country.  An integrated global payment solution that mitigates these costs and risks must be central to the business plan of every organization from start-ups to large publicly traded multinationals.  The global payment solution must drive down payment transactions costs, provide instant settlement in local currencies, hedge currency risk and convert an expense into a revenue generation event.  
 
Critical Mission Consulting approaches risk mitigation as a means of unlocking venture value and unleashing revenue potential. To accomplish our goals, we formed a strategic partnership with AFEX Global Payment Solutions.  AFEX is a global payment industry leader with offices around the globe and a financial technology solution that allows complete integration with a company’s existing accounting and legal systems.  AFEX has a payment solution for our clients in all sectors, including but not limited to, import/export, claims management, education, corporate service providers, freight forwarders, funds and wealth managers, NGOs and charities, real estate, travel and entertainment. Critical Mission Consulting, powered by AFEX, is not a traditional bank.

Our technology delivers more capabilities than conventional banks with superior, high-touch, customer service. Critical Mission Consulting, powered by AFEX, payment solutions include:
 

• Access to all legal currencies (100+).
• Available in-country bank accounts for receiving and sending funds, in 30+ currencies (many banks can only provide 18).
• Protection against currency risk includes forwards, swaps, and no-cost options. Typically, banks only offer forwards and swaps. No-cost options not only protect against losses from negative currency movements, they deliver participation in positive currency movements to drive increased profits.
• Utilization of in-country payment networks to deliver full value, not only Swift/corresponding bank rails.
• Cross currency wire fees are $0.
• All beneficiary bank accounts are screened for their jurisdiction’s requirements which leads to error-less payments.
• A payment portal that allows ACH, wire transfer, USD and foreign currency payments all from the same portal.
• A 20+ currency international wallet which allows 24 hours/5 day a week instantaneous transfers in network.
• Multifactor authorization to reduce or eliminate fraud.

 
The Critical Mission Solution, powered by AFEX, fintech solution is plug and play (no costly integration or proprietary software required).  Their expertise streamlines integration into your current system, creating opportunities to scale via a suite of API’s or batch processing. Alternatively, payments can be managed via AFEX’s secure online user interface. Speed, accuracy and value protection is the oil that keeps accounts payable and receivable moving smoothly.
 
The strategy of CMC is to identify every available device to drive down risk and costs and drive up value for every venture. The launch of our integrated global payment system is precisely the type of risk mitigation tool our clients demanded, and we delivered.
