India has rapidly emerged as a major global exporter, catering to markets from Australia to Argentina, and from the UAE to the USA. According to a Government of India report, the country’s overall exports for May 2023 crossed $60 billion.
Exports have played a key role in driving India’s phenomenal economic growth. However, the payments experience for India’s export businesses has been far from smooth with traditional methods. High transfer charges and complex processes have left them desperately seeking simpler ways of accepting international payments.
But no longer!
Introducing Razorpay’s MoneySaver Export Account
Razorpay proudly announces the launch of MoneySaver Export Account, an exclusive offering for Indian exporters. Built specifically for exporters, the Razorpay MoneySaver Export Account allows merchants to receive international payments with ease through wire transfers such as ACH, SWIFT, SEPA, BACS, and Fedwire.
MoneySaver Export Account ensures that Indian exporters can offer their global customers a local banking experience, across 200+ countries. USD, Euro, Pounds or Naira, MoneySaver Export Account makes receiving international wire transfer export payments as easy as accepting a NEFT/RTGS transfer.
MoneySaver Export Account allows an Indian business to open an international bank account wherever its customers are, without having a local presence. The account creation process is single-click, and the exporter can start receiving international payments within ~ 5 seconds of account creation.
For an existing Razorpay merchant, the MoneySaver account is available to use under the “International Payments” tab on the Razorpay dashboard.
Cost and Complexity: The problems exporters face
Exporters frequently rely on international bank transfers, which account for approximately 50% of their cross-border payments, especially for transactions exceeding $5000. Unfortunately, the current system carries significant expenses, with every $200 remittance incurring a hefty $13 in SWIFT charges alone. Considering India’s annual exports of goods and services valued at $750 billion, if even 10% payments of these payments happen via wire transfers, these charges can amass to a staggering ~$5 billion.
Aside from the high transfer costs, there are other concerns related to export payments. Traditional remittance systems suffer from complexity and outdated processes, involving tedious paperwork and time-consuming onboarding procedures. Additionally, there is a pressing need for greater fee transparency, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). For alternative payment methods beyond bank transfers, challenges arise with chargebacks, transaction failures, and high per-transaction expenses.
Limitations of existing international money transfer methods
With these limitations, it is challenging for Indian exporters today to find a solution that simplifies the need for receiving money from abroad. But fret not: Razorpay is here to solve your export payments challenges!
