Definition

Cross-Border Payments. These are transactions that occur between accounts based in different countries (that is, non-domestic payments).

Normally, cross-border payments are made via an incumbent correspondent financial network, which involves the fund traveling between multiple organizations, resulting in the process to be slow and costly.
