As businesses increasingly rely on remote workers, managing payments to international employees has become a significant concern. Traditional payment methods, such as ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfers, often come with high fees and delays. Parallax Send, a new feature from Parallax, offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative. This article will detail the cost differences between traditional ACH transfers and using Parallax Send for international payments, helping businesses save money and streamline their payment processes.
ACH transfers are commonly used for domestic payments in the United States, allowing businesses to send and receive funds electronically. While convenient for local transactions, ACH transfers have several drawbacks when used for international payments:
ACH transfers typically cost around $25 per transaction for international payments. These fees can quickly add up, especially for businesses that need to pay multiple remote workers regularly. Additionally, intermediary banks may charge extra fees, further increasing the total cost.
ACH transfers often take 1-3 business days to process, delaying the receipt of funds for remote workers. This delay can cause financial stress for employees who rely on timely payments to manage their personal finances.
When paying remote workers in different countries, currency conversion fees can also apply. These fees, along with fluctuating exchange rates, can make it challenging to predict the exact cost of each transaction.
Parallax Send is designed to address the limitations of traditional ACH transfers by providing a faster, cheaper, and more efficient payment solution for businesses with international remote workers. Here are the key benefits:
One of the most significant advantages of Parallax Send is its low transaction fees. While ACH transfers can cost around $25 per transaction, Parallax Sends charges only $1-2 per transaction. This dramatic reduction in fees can result in substantial savings, particularly for businesses making frequent payments.
Parallax Send ensures that payments arrive instantly, allowing remote workers to access their funds without delay. This immediacy is crucial for maintaining the financial stability and satisfaction of your remote team.
