Is there any limitations on transferring to companies? Or is it just to personal accounts?

> Please note that you may only send funds to the country of the national currency. For example, you may only send US dollars to the United States

This seems fairly restrictive. I send USD to Colombia, for example, to pay my staff. The Colombian banks then convert that to COP on arrival. Is there any particular reason why this limitation is in place? Makes it significantly less useful than, say, Worldfirst.



You can certainly send to companies as well.

Our outbound payments are all domestic bank transfers, so if your Colombian bank can receive a USD ACH payment by routing and account number it should work.

But I'm guessing your USD to Colombia is delivered by international SWIFT wire? The cost of a SWIFT wire is orders of magnitude higher than a domestic bank transfer, and we wouldn't be able to support that in our fixed fee.


It would be SWIFT, yes. That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.
