Part 3: Strategic Considerations for Payment Costs (4 Q&As)
Minimising cost alone is not enough; strategic thinking matters. Success rate, experience, settlement speed, and FX optimisation often outweigh small differences in fee percentages. Antom combines technology and expertise to align payments with business goals.
Conclusion
Cross-border payments are complex, and costs extend far beyond visible fees. Understanding the interplay of transaction type, payment method, geography, and risk is essential for managing expenses and protecting margins.
Merchants who focus solely on low fees risk lost revenue, while those who optimise for payment success, settlement speed, and user experience can achieve both cost efficiency and business growth.
Solutions like Antom’s data-driven routing, local acquiring, and wallet integration help merchants navigate these complexities, stabilise costs, and turn payment strategy into a competitive advantage. Ultimately, a holistic, strategic approach to cross-border payments transforms cost management from a necessary burden into a driver of profitability and sustainable expansion.
