The Three Payments Problems Import/Export Companies Face

High FX Costs on Supplier Payments

Banks charge 3–5% on currency conversion. Each USD payment to an Asian supplier quietly costs more than the invoice shows.

Slow SWIFT Via Legacy Banks

Traditional bank SWIFT transfers take 2–5 days. Suppliers delay shipments waiting for funds. Your supply chain suffers.

No EU IBAN to Receive from European Clients

Without a European IBAN, EU partners can’t pay you via SEPA. They face high cross-border fees — and so do you.

Forced Currency Conversion at the Wrong Time

Your bank converts at their rate, when they decide. You can’t hold USD received today until EUR rates improve tomorrow.

One Account. Every Trade Payment Solved.

NOWE does not offer forward contracts, FX hedging, letters of credit, or documentary collections. NOWE is built for SMEs that need transparent, self-serve FX + SEPA + SWIFT from an EU IBAN. If your business requires FX risk management tools, iBanFirst or Ebury may be more appropriate.
