As a business owner, you may be familiar with the high costs of transferring money across international borders. Leading payment gateways charge hefty international transaction fees. You need to negotiate for the suitable Fx rate with the bank, and then they add their miscellaneous fees, which aren’t transparent.

These fees can add up quickly for your Export IT service business, cutting profits and stunting growth. Think about it: if you were to receive one crore rupees, a significant chunk could be lost in fees alone.

Startups specifically often face a tough challenge regarding international money transfers. High transaction fees, in this case, can be a major obstacle for any business looking to go global. Companies are penalised for going global without an affordable, efficient alternative. 

This article explores how international transaction costs work, their impact on businesses worldwide, and how Skydo helps turn things around.

How Skydo Saves You Money

International transactions can be overwhelming, especially when losing your hard-earned money to fees and hidden charges. However, Skydo offers a more straightforward and cost-effective solution.

1. Reducing fees and improving transaction efficiency

Unlike traditional banks and payment gateways with complex fee structures, Skydo employs a transparent, minimalistic approach.

Here’s how it works.

Live FX rates with zero margins: Upon receiving the invoice payment in the Skydo account, the remitted amount will be converted using the current live exchange rate. This rate is also accompanied by a timestamp, allowing for easy verification through a quick web search.

With live foreign exchange rates, you always get the best rates possible without additional margins or hidden fees.

Flat fee structure: A flat fee ensures no surprises, and everything is completely transparent. For transactions less than USD 2,000, the fees are USD 19, while it's USD 29 for transactions above USD 2,000.

2. Cost comparison and Potential savings

Imagine your business conducting an international transaction of INR 1 crore using a traditional bank or a popular payment gateway. Their fees can range between 2-5%, adding up to a hefty sum of INR 2-5 lakhs. 

With Skydo, these exorbitant fees can be significantly slashed, potentially saving you lakhs of rupees yearly. And as your transactions increase over time, the cumulative savings can be truly monumental.

Don't just take our word for it, though. Tanay Shah, the Founder & CEO at Pardy Studios, has already experienced the benefits firsthand. He shared his satisfaction, saying, "With Skydo, I am saving INR 10,000 per transaction.
