As an export business owner, the waiting period for a payment to get credited is unsettling. You’re looking forward to receiving important global payments, and you need to use that money to pay a supplier or a partner in service.

Unfortunately, your payment doesn’t show up on time.

This situation worsens when you are seeking some form of payment status information, but there is none. You find yourself in a triggering situation of he-said-she-said -the receiving bank informs you that they have not received SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) instructions for your payment to be processed. Yet, when you contact the sending bank, they insist they've already dispatched the SWIFT.

Collecting global payments is already tagged as an expensive and time-consuming process. However, if a customer and you have to go through the pain of lost or delayed payment, it can make your heart skip a beat.

Skydo, a revolutionary payments platform, takes centre stage and answers all your questions–

  • Where is your money?
  • When will it arrive? 
  • Can I get proof of payment?

Here’s how Skydo can help you with real-time payment tracking.
