Corpay, Inc. (NYSE: CPAY), an enabler of corporate payments, is announcing that Corpay’s Cross-Border business has introduced Multi-Currency Accounts, enabling businesses to expand footprints while benefitting from streamlined foreign currency management.
While embarking on the milestone of expanding into different markets and engaging with customers, businesses encounter challenges when “navigating transactions in foreign currencies.”
The process of opening and managing foreign banking accounts can be complex, marked by “layers of red tape, language barriers and rates and fees that are sometimes neither predictable nor transparent.”
Corpay’s Multi-Currency Accounts are designed to “address these obstacles by providing businesses with flexibility and transparency.”
With a frictionless onboarding process to become a Corpay customer and set up a Multi-Currency Account, business owners can “receive and pay out various foreign currencies through dedicated accounts in their own names.”
A unique account is assigned to each currency the account holder trades, simplifying “the payments and receivables process and lowering the barriers to global trade for businesses, their customers and suppliers.”
Corpay’s Multi-Currency Accounts program completed a pilot phase with current clients, and “adjustments have been made based on their feedback.”
The official launch of Multi-Currency Accounts is “commencing with 12 currencies, including many major traded currencies across the globe.”
Tim Watson, Chief Product & Digital Innovation Officer, Corpay Cross-Border Solutions said:
“Our goal is to continuously develop solutions that transcend borders, allowing for seamless international operations. After meticulous development that integrates our customers’ feedback and industry insights, our centralized account solution caters to the needs of businesses engaging in overseas markets across diverse jurisdictions and currencies. It streamlines account opening and management across multiple currencies and countries, simplifying complexity and allowing our customers to focus on their business first.”
Key benefits of Multi-Currency Accounts include:
- Competitive advantage: Simplify currency exchanges with the ability to receive and pay out in local currencies, thus minimizing unnecessary conversions.
- Increase trust and security: Increase payors’ confidence in sending payments with a local currency account in the payee-business’s name.
- Harness simplicity and efficiency: Simplify accounting tasks with Corpay’s single access point for managing all accounts, easily identifiable with unique account identifiers.

Mark Frey, Group President Corpay Cross-Border Solutions said:
“The development of Multi-Currency Accounts has been a collaborative effort with our customers, and their buy-in and willingness to provide feedback has been instrumental. Through our ongoing commitment to client centricity and addressing their needs, we have dedicated ourselves to continuous industry research and competitor analysis, while also constantly gathering invaluable feedback from our customers.
