How does KeyBS Pay help importers with international payments?

KeyBS Pay gives importers the mid-market FX rate with a flat 1.5% fee and same-day settlement. Common pain points like 3–5% bank spreads, 3–5 day SWIFT delays, and hidden correspondent bank deductions are eliminated. You get full real-time tracking, USDT stablecoin payment options, and a dedicated support team familiar with African trade.

What currencies does KeyBS Pay support for importers?

KeyBS Pay supports USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, AED, GHS, NGN, KES, and ZAR — covering all major trade corridors used by African importers. Whether you are paying Chinese suppliers in CNY, UAE distributors in AED, or receiving USD export proceeds, KeyBS handles the conversion at the live mid-market rate.

Is KeyBS Pay cheaper than a bank for importers?

Significantly cheaper. Ghanaian and Nigerian commercial banks typically charge 3–5% above the mid-market FX rate plus $25–$75 wire fees. KeyBS Pay charges 1.5% flat with no wire fees and no recipient charges. On a $10,000 transaction, that saves you $200–$500 compared to a standard bank wire.

The Challenges You Face

Bank FX rates inflate import costs

Commercial banks charge 2–4% above mid-market rate on all international transfers, adding thousands to your supplier invoices each month.

Slow SWIFT payments delay shipments

Bank wire transfers take 3–5 business days, causing shipment delays, strained supplier relationships, and lost trade discounts for early payment.

Hidden correspondent bank fees

SWIFT correspondent charges of $25–$75 per transfer are silently deducted from your payment — your supplier gets less than you sent.
