Jeeves, an expense management and cross-border payments platform, has joined forces with Bexs, a bank specializing in FX and digital payments, to introduce Brazil's inaugural digital self-service cross-border Business-to-Business (B2B) payment platform.

International Money Transfers for Brazilian Businesses

With this new platform, Brazilian businesses are poised to experience a paradigm shift in how they engage with international markets, like the USA or Europe. The platform promises to transform the days-long FX contracts and invoice payment procedures into swift digital transactions, completed within 24 hours.

According to Luiz Henrique Didier Jr., the CEO of Bexs, the bank aims to expand and facilitate access for Brazilian companies to global goods and services. “Jeeves is a global fintech and an important partner for this new moment in the world of payments.”

“We are using technology to offer the best to Brazilian companies, with digital solutions that ensure seamless transactions and optimize processes, while mitigating the bottlenecks that can impact the course of their activities,” he said.

The platform's integration with Bexs' FX-as-a-Service solution has enabled digital international transactions. As global interconnectivity becomes crucial, businesses of different sizes can benefit from swift international transactions across various sectors.

“Brazil is a huge and promising market, and it is important for us to have a partner with knowledge of its unique characteristics,” said Dileep Thazhmon, the CEO of Jeeves.

B2B Cross-Border Payments Surge

Businesses are increasingly immersed in cross-border trade, necessitating efficient and rapid cross-border payment solutions, Finance Magnates reported. The rise of international business prospects has intensified the demand for seamless transactions, with a particular focus on Business-to-Business (B2B) cross-border payments.

As companies expand operations globally, the ability to facilitate international payments becomes paramount. The B2B cross-border payments facilitate fund transfers between businesses across different countries, promoting efficient business transactions. This importance is amplified by the growth of e-commerce and digital trade, allowing businesses to serve customers worldwide.

According to a report by Zion Market Research, the global B2B payments platform market is on a dynamic trajectory, with a projected annual growth rate of approximately 8.35% from 2022 to 2028. The market valuation is expected to reach a staggering USD 1564 billion by 2028, propelled by a combination of compelling factors driving unprecedented growth.

The digitization of financial services has paved the way for fintech solutions in B2B payments. Blockchain, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing are leveraged by fintech firms to build competent cross-border payment networks.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) play a role in enabling interactions between financial systems and platforms. API integration allows businesses to connect accounting and enterprise systems directly to payment providers, facilitating automatic cross-border payments.
