Transforming
Cross-Border Payments
Banking Circle is taking on a job that very few other Banks or Fintechs want to tackle. We have committed significant investment to building a unique super-correspondent banking network so that a cross-border transaction that used to take 5 days and cost 50 Euros, takes only 5 seconds and costs 50 cents in the future.
