Speed and Savings: The Parallax Advantage in International Money Transfers

Managing payments across borders can be challenging, often involving high fees, long transfer times, and complicated processes. At Parallax, we are committed to simplifying international payments, making it easier and more efficient for businesses to pay their global teams. Our recent introduction of International ACH (IAT) transfers marks a significant step forward in this mission.

Simplified Cross-Border Payments

One of the most significant pain points in international payments is the complexity involved. Traditional methods often require detailed information, such as specific bank codes and intermediary banks, which can be confusing and time-consuming. Parallax addresses this by providing a streamlined process. With Parallax, you can send payments to over 200 countries using a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple accounts or service providers. Our intuitive interface makes it easy to enter the necessary information and complete transactions quickly.

Cost-Effective Solutions

High fees are a common issue with international payments. Traditional banking methods, such as wire transfers, can incur charges of up to $50 per transaction, not to mention the hidden fees and unfavorable exchange rates. Parallax offers a more cost-effective solution. Our flat fee structure and competitive exchange rates ensure that you save money on every transaction. With Parallax, you can potentially save up to 50 times the cost of traditional methods, allowing you to reinvest those savings into your business.

Faster Transactions

Time is money, especially in business. Traditional ACH transfers can take up to 3 days to process, causing delays and cash flow issues. Parallax significantly reduces this waiting time. Our platform processes payments in minutes, ensuring your team receives their funds quickly and efficiently. This speed is particularly beneficial for businesses with international freelancers or contractors who need timely payments to manage their finances.

Enhanced Security

Security is paramount when handling financial transactions. Parallax employs advanced security measures to protect your data and funds. Our platform uses encryption and secure protocols to ensure that your transactions are safe from unauthorized access. Additionally, our compliance with international financial regulations provides peace of mind that your payments are processed legally and ethically.

International ACH Support

Our latest feature, International ACH (IAT) support, further enhances our ability to facilitate global payments. With IAT, you can now receive payments from non-US registered accounts directly into your Parallax account. This feature simplifies the process for your clients and partners abroad, making it easier for them to send payments without navigating complex banking systems.

Key Features of International ACH Support:

  • Unified Account Details for Wire Transfers and ACH: Your wire transfers will now share the same details as your virtual account, simplifying your banking information. No need for a memo, and the beneficiary name will match your user name. The same account and routing number will be used for both wire transfers and ACH.
  • Backwards Compatibility: All old wire details will still be processed indefinitely. You have the option to switch to the new virtual account details for a streamlined experience.

At Parallax, our goal is to make international payments as simple, cost-effective, and secure as possible. With the introduction of International ACH transfers, we are taking another significant step towards this goal. Whether you are a business owner managing a remote team or a freelancer working with international clients, Parallax provides the tools you need to manage your payments efficiently. Join us today and experience the future of international payments.
