The Challenge
What was the problem?
A payment infrastructure company was processing 200+ monthly vendor payments via SWIFT, each requiring manual bank portal entry, compliance review, and 3–5 business days to settle. The AP team was spending 30+ hours per week on manual payment operations — a significant drag for a company building payment technology for others.
The Solution
How Bitwage helped
Bitwage's Vendor Payments product replaced the SWIFT workflow with stablecoin rails and local ACH/SEPA alternatives. Payments are batched and submitted via API, with settlement confirmed on-chain within hours. Compliance pre-screening is automated, and the full audit trail is accessible in real time through the Bitwage dashboard.
