#Africa bleeds $5B a year not to #corruption or #mismanagement, but just to move money within its own borders. Example: A Kenyan business paying a Ugandan supplier. Instead of Nairobi → Kampala, money goes: Nairobi → USD conversion (1–2%). USD routed via New York/London ($20–50 fee). USD → Ugandan shillings (another 1–2%). By the time a $26,000 invoice is paid, $500–1,000 is gone. Whilst we may be denied visas, our money travels freely through New York. And it’s not just trade: Africa’s #diaspora sends $95B home each year, yet pays the world’s highest remittance costs. -We pay the highest cost for credit. -We pay the highest cost for payments. -We pay the highest cost to send our own money home. It’s not inefficiency. It’s design. The #GlobalFinancialSystem wasn’t built for us. The good news? Solutions exist. #PAPSS (Pan-African Payment and Settlement System) is already live linking 15 central banks, 150 commercial banks, and 14 payment switches, with the capacity to handle $300B in intra-African trade annually. Through PAPSS, that same Kenya–Uganda  transaction could  look very different: -One direct conversion from KES → UGX (0.2–0.5% spread). -Settlement netted via African central banks. -Funds received in hours, not days. Estimated cost: $60–150.  Potential savings: $500–950 on a single $26,000 payment. No detours. Value stays in Africa. The challenge isn’t invention. It’s implementation. One Africa. One market. One #payment system. AI image below*

𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 There’s one silent killer that doesn’t show up in FinOps dashboards: That is - currency conversion costs. Cloud providers bill in their default currency, usually USD, while your business operates in INR, EUR, GBP, or any other local currency. This means every invoice gets converted at the provider’s exchange rate, not yours - and those rates aren’t always in your favor. Imagine a company in India consuming AWS services worth $50,000 per month. AWS bills in USD, but the company pays in INR. Here’s the catch: > AWS uses its own currency conversion rate, which is typically higher than the official exchange rate. > Banks charge foreign transaction fees (1–3% per transaction). > Exchange rates fluctuate, so what you budgeted in INR may not match what you actually pay. Let’s assume: > Official exchange rate: 1 USD = 82 INR > AWS’s applied exchange rate: 1 USD = 83.5 INR > Bank transaction fee: 2% on total amount Actual Cost in INR: > 50,000 x 83.5 = ₹41,75,000 > Bank transaction fee (2% of ₹41,75,000) = ₹83,500 > Total INR paid = ₹42,58,500 That’s ₹1,58,500 ($1,915) lost every month - ₹19,02,000 ($22,980) per year. And this is just one example. Scale this up for global enterprises running multi-million-dollar cloud workloads, and the hidden currency conversion losses could fund an entire FinOps team! Why This Cost Is Often Ignored > It’s not in FinOps dashboards – Most cloud cost tools focus on compute/storage costs, not financial inefficiencies in payments. > It's bundled into "Miscellaneous Fees" – Cloud invoices don’t clearly break down currency markup and bank charges. > It’s assumed as “business as usual” – Most companies treat it as an unavoidable cost, never questioning how to optimize it. The Most Practical Solutions are: ✓ Multi-Currency Cloud Accounts(If available) ✓ Pay via Local Cloud Resellers ✓ Use FinOps to Track Forex Impact ✓ Leverage Corporate Forex Solutions ✓ Prepaid Cloud Commitments in USD For stable workloads, consider pre-loading cloud credits in USD when the exchange rate is favorable. Some enterprises bulk-purchase AWS/Azure/GCP credits when their local currency is strong against USD, locking in savings. So the next time you’re reviewing your cloud bills, don’t just look at how much you’re using - check how you’re paying for it.

There is not such thing as 𝙜𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 payment. Every transaction has a border and it is the jurisdiction that defines that border. The origin and endpoint of the transaction determine which rules apply, the level of risk involved, and the associated costs, such as interchange, cross-border fees, and compliance obligations. When a payment is processed, it moves through multiple layers of infrastructure, compliance checks, and financial institutions, each of which plays a key role in establishing the legal, regulatory, and operational frameworks that govern a transaction. This becomes even more complex when dealing with transactions where one party is located in a different jurisdiction from the other, leading to unique operational and regulatory challenges. ◾Licensing requirements, as different jurisdictions impose distinct licensing and AML regulations. Some markets require local acquiring or issuing licences, while others may allow non-domestic financial institutions to operate under passporting agreements. ◾Settlement timelines, unlike domestic transactions that typically settle within the same payment infrastructure, a one-leg out transaction may rely on correspondent banking networks, international clearing systems, or third-party intermediaries. ◾In card payment, the cross-border interchange fees (the fees paid by the merchant’s bank to the cardholder’s bank) are typically higher than domestic fees. Visa and Mastercard set different cross-border interchange rates based on regions and transaction types. For example, Intra-EEA transactions (where both the issuer and acquirer are in the EEA) typically have lower interchange fees than EEA to non-EEA transactions (e.g., Europe to US). ◾Cross-border transactions also carry higher fraud risk due to varying levels of security and authentication standards across jurisdictions. This can trigger stricter fraud screening, increasing the chances of false positive declines and adding friction to payments. ◾Currency conversion, where the originating currency differs from the settlement currency. This can lead to additional costs, including FX markups, conversion spreads, and potential delays due to intermediary bank involvement. 👉🏽This looks simple on paper but plays out very differently in real setups, right? #CrossBorderPayments --- 𝘗𝘢𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

Ever noticed $20–$30 missing from an inward remittance?  The invoice says $1,000. The client confirms they sent $1,000. But you see only $970–$980. Most assume it’s a forex markup or some routine bank charge. But here’s the nuance almost no one talks about: international wire transfers often travel through 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 before they land in your account. The frustrating part is, these deductions are rarely upfront. Exporters don’t know in advance which intermediaries will be used, how many hops there’ll be, or how much each will shave off. It feels random, almost like a “toll tax” for moving money across borders. For a single transaction, it looks small. But run 50–100 invoices a year, and you’ve lost thousands of dollars without ever being told why. These are the hidden complexities of cross-border payments that don’t get discussed enough. Most first-time exporters don’t even realise this is happening until they compare notes with peers, or worse, when their margins start looking thinner than planned. 𝗔𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝘆𝗱𝗼, 𝘄𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟬. But even if you’re not using us, this is something worth knowing. Because in cross-border trade, the devil isn’t just in the exchange rate. It’s in the tiny, invisible charges no one tells you about.

Foreign Exchange Risk: Mitigating Uncertainties in Treasury Management Foreign exchange (FX) risk presents a unique set of challenges within the treasury operations of banks, especially those engaged in international transactions. As currency values fluctuate, they can significantly impact the bank's earnings and capital. Understanding and mitigating this risk is essential for maintaining the financial health and stability of an institution operating on a global scale. Treasury departments employ various strategies to hedge against FX risk. One common approach is the use of forward contracts, which allow banks to lock in exchange rates for future transactions, thereby neutralising the effect of adverse currency movements. By securing a predetermined rate, banks can plan their financial strategies with greater certainty and reduce the risk of exchange rate volatility affecting their profitability. Another tool at the disposal of treasuries is currency options. These financial derivatives provide banks with the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specific amount of foreign currency at a predetermined price before a certain date. Options offer flexibility and protection against unfavourable exchange rate movements while allowing banks to benefit from favourable shifts. Natural hedging is yet another technique employed to manage FX risk. This involves offsetting exposure in one currency with exposure in the same or a correlated currency. By structuring operations or assets and liabilities in a manner that naturally offsets currency risks, banks can reduce their need for external hedging instruments, thereby lowering costs and complexity. The management of FX risk is not solely about protecting against potential losses; it is also about identifying and seizing opportunities that currency fluctuations may present. However, it is crucial that banks approach this with a conservative strategy, recognising the volatile nature of the forex market. A well-thought-out approach, combining accurate forecasting and diversified hedging techniques, can help banks navigate the complexities of currency exchange. The importance of FX risk management extends beyond the treasury department; it is a critical component of a bank's overall risk management strategy. A realistic and informed approach to foreign exchange can help a bank maintain financial stability, meet regulatory requirements, and support its international operations effectively. By delving into the intricacies of FX risk and its mitigation strategies, we can gain a deeper understanding of the global financial landscape. This knowledge is beneficial, ensuring that banks remain robust and resilient in the face of currency market volatility.

Most people who have never moved a large sum across borders assume the process is broadly similar to a domestic transfer, just slower. It is a different process entirely. A high-value cross-border payment typically passes through three to five institutions before it reaches its destination. Each one applies its own compliance checks, its own cut-off times, and its own correspondent relationships. At any point in that chain, the payment can be held, queried, or returned, with no obligation to notify the sender in real time about what has happened or why. The FX conversion adds another layer. The rate applied is often determined at the moment the payment enters the correspondent chain, not at the moment it is instructed. By the time it arrives, the rate the client was quoted and the rate actually applied can differ meaningfully, with no straightforward recourse. Settlement finality, the point at which the recipient can treat the funds as received and act on them, can take anywhere from same day to several business days, depending on the corridor, the currencies involved, and the specific institutions in the chain. For a developer with a contract deadline, a commodity exporter with a shipment to release, or a broker with a client whose flight leaves Saturday, that uncertainty is not a minor inconvenience. Stablecoin settlement compresses this entire chain into a single step. The amount sent is the amount received. Settlement is final the moment the transaction confirms. The time is measured in seconds, not days. That is not a marginal improvement on the existing process. It is a different process.

✅ How FX Trades Actually Settle (Explained Simply) Most people think FX trading is all about quoting EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, or USD/JPY and hitting the market fast. But here’s the real question: 👉 How does an FX trade actually settle once you hit ‘execute’? Let’s break it down in a simple way. 🔄 FX Settlement Lifecycle (T+2 for most majors) 1️⃣ Trade Execution A client buys EUR 10M vs USD at 1.0850. They will receive EUR and pay USD. 2️⃣ Trade Confirmation Both sides confirm: currency pair buy/sell direction notional amounts exchange rate settlement date counterparty FX confirmations typically happen via: ✔ FX platforms (e.g., FXAll) ✔ SWIFT MT300 messages ✔ Matching systems (e.g., Misys) 3️⃣ Settlement Instructions (SSI) Both parties retrieve the correct SSIs for: where EUR should be delivered where USD should be paid Wrong SSIs = failed settlement (and major headaches). 4️⃣ Settlement (Payment vs Payment – PvP) FX uses CLS (Continuous Linked Settlement) for major pairs. This ensures: ✔ EUR is only delivered if USD is delivered ✔ eliminates settlement risk ✔ reduces exposure to a counterparty default For non-CLS currencies, settlement happens bilaterally. FX Settlement Example Client buys EUR 10M vs USD: On settlement day → client receives EUR 10M in their euro account At the same time → they pay USD 10.85M (EUR rate × FX rate) No delay. No partial settlement. Both legs move together. Why FX Settlement Matters ✔ FX has two legs — so operational mistakes double risk ✔ Incorrect SSIs lead to failed trades and financial loss ✔ CLS drastically reduces systemic risk ✔ Clean settlement maintains client trust Behind every FX quote is a complex machine making sure money lands in the right currency, in the right place, at the right time. #FXTrading #ForeignExchange #Settlement #CLS #PvP #InvestmentBanking #CapitalMarkets #TradingFloor #FinanceEducation #MarketOperations #RiskManagement #LinkedInFinance #FinanceCareers

Accounting for Foreign Currency Transactions and Exchange Differences Recent movements in the kwacha illustrate just how material foreign exchange effects have become in both financial reporting and performance analysis. A comparison of exchange rates across key dates highlights the scale of these movements. As at 3 June 2025, the kwacha traded at an average of 26.8092 against the US dollar. By 3 January 2026, it had strengthened to 22.0694, representing an appreciation of approximately 17.68%. This momentum has continued into mid-year, with the rate improving further to 17.8439 by 3 June 2026, reflecting a further 19.17% appreciation over six months and an overall year-on-year strengthening of approximately 33.45%. How should these changes be reflected in financial statements? In line with IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, the accounting treatment is as follows: ✅ Monetary items (such as cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, receivables, and payables) are retranslated at the closing rate at the reporting date. ✅ Non-monetary items (such as property, plant, and equipment) are generally measured at the historical spot rate when the transaction occurred. The resulting foreign exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss, except in limited circumstances where they are capitalized or recognized in other comprehensive income (e.g., certain net investment hedges). Although foreign exchange differences are often described as non-cash, their impact on financial results is far from negligible. With exchange rate movements exceeding 30% over a twelve-month period, these remeasurements can materially distort earnings and, in some cases, overshadow underlying operational performance. This reinforces an important point for both preparers and users of financial statements: financial reporting in a volatile currency environment requires a clear understanding of economic exposure, careful analysis of performance drivers, and the ability to distinguish between operational outcomes and the effects of exchange rate movements.

I sent €100 from Paris to a US merchant. The merchant received $96.65. That $3.35 didn't disappear, it was distributed across 7 intermediaries you've never heard of. Most people think a card payment is one transaction. It's not. It's a relay race between 8 different companies, running on two parallel networks, taking different cuts, on different timelines. I traced a single €100 payment, end to end. Here's what I found. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟮 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲: → The info layer: ~2 seconds. Authorisation messages bouncing between issuer, Visa, acquirer, processor. This is the part that flashes "Order paid ✓" on the merchant's screen. → The money layer: ~2 days. Actual settlement via ACH, with FX conversion buried somewhere in the middle. The fact that your checkout feels instant is theatre. The money is still in flight. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 €𝟯.𝟯𝟱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁: 1️⃣ You: €100 leaves your account 2️⃣ Issuing bank (BNP Paribas / SocGen), holds the funds, no fee 3️⃣ Card network (Visa / Mastercard) −€1.20 cross-border scheme fee 4️⃣ FX engine: −€2.10 hidden spread (1.5% above mid-market) 5️⃣ Acquiring bank (Chase / Wells Fargo): −$2.65 interchange + acquirer markup 6️⃣ Processor (Stripe / Adyen): −$0.65 (0.3% + $0.30) 7️⃣ ACH settlement: no fee, but locks the funds for 2 business days 8️⃣ US merchant: receives $96.65 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: The customer sees 1 actor (their bank). The merchant sees 2 (their processor and their bank). The other 5 are invisible and the biggest fee, the FX spread, is the one nobody itemizes. It's not a fraud. It's just stacked. Each intermediary takes a margin that's individually defensible, and collectively adds up to ~7% on cross-border. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: Every SaaS company selling internationally pays this stack. Every ecommerce store accepting cards from abroad pays this stack. Most never see the breakdown, they just see "International processing fee" on a statement and move on. The next generation of payment infrastructure isn't trying to add a 9th intermediary. It's trying to delete 5 of them. PS: I'm the founder of Suby and I post weekly about payments, stablecoins, and what the cross-border stack actually looks like under the hood. Follow for more.

🚨 One Small Banking Term. One Massive Shift in Understanding Global Payments. If someone explains Nostro vs Vostro clearly to you once… suddenly SWIFT transfers, correspondent banking, forex settlements, and cross-border payments begin to make complete sense.
