International Business Account Infrastructure for Global Payouts

Finance teams can connect these accounts with multi-currency accounts and stablecoin on/off ramp infrastructure, managing funds and settlement across markets from one platform.

FAQ

What are international business payments?

International business payments are cross‑border payments sent between companies, suppliers, contractors, sellers, or business entities in different jurisdictions. With Merge, funds can be sent in the originating currency, routed through stablecoin settlement infrastructure, and received in the destination currency through local payment rails, giving businesses clearer visibility across FX, settlement, and payout status.

What is the best business account for international payments?

The best business account for international payments should support the currencies, countries, counterparties, reporting needs, and payment volumes your company manages. Merge is not positioned as a bank account provider; it offers payment infrastructure that can support named accounts, local rail access, FX execution at initiation, stablecoin settlement, and payout workflows for business payment operations.

What is the safest way to send large international business payments?

Lock the FX rate at initiation, use named accounts mapped to specific counterparties, and track payment status in real time across every stage. Fewer intermediaries means fewer points of failure, so avoid correspondent banking chains where possible. Structured payment data and clear reconciliation controls reduce the risk of misdirection on high-value transfers.

Can Merge support a business bank account for receiving international payments?

Merge can support account infrastructure for receiving international payments through named sub‑accounts, IBANs, and virtual account numbers where available. These accounts can map to entities, counterparties, or business lines, helping companies track incoming funds and connect them to downstream payout, settlement, and reconciliation workflows.

How does Merge support money transfer business workflows?

Merge supports money transfer business workflows by connecting local fiat rails, FX execution, stablecoin settlement infrastructure, and local currency payouts. This makes it suitable for structured B2B flows such as supplier payments, vendor payments, contractor disbursements, marketplace seller payouts, treasury transfers, and settlements between business entities.
