U.S. fintech startup Kyriba Corp. announced on Monday it has formed a partnership with WorldFirst, a foreign exchange and international payments expert, to expand its global solution ecosystem. According to Kyriba, the partnership with WorldFirst will streamline payment processes, increase the speed and transparency of cross-border payments, and also reduce the transfer fees associated with international payments and FX transactions.
While sharing details about the partnership, Jean-Luc Robert, Chairman and CEO of Kyriba, stated:
“With the help of highly strategic partners, Kyriba is rapidly evolving its platform to help financial executives streamline processes, reduce fees and accelerate business performance. This integration with WorldFirst gives our clients a world-class option to simplify their FX transactions and expands our market opportunity in payments.”
