Introduction
Expanding globally isn’t only about finding new customers. It’s also about how easily you can pay the people who keep your business running — sellers, vendors, suppliers, and partners around the world. For B2B companies, payouts are one of the most important parts of building trust and keeping relationships strong.
The challenge is that many businesses still face high fees, banking delays, and a lack of visibility when sending money across borders. The good news is that smarter payout methods are now making it possible to cut costs while giving sellers and vendors a smoother, more reliable experience.
The Cost Problem in Cross-Border Payouts
International payouts have long been weighed down by inefficiencies. SWIFT and wire transfers often move through several banks before reaching the final recipient, and each step adds fees. Foreign exchange spreads can also reduce the final amount received. When you’re sending payouts at scale, these costs add up quickly.
The Seller and Vendor Experience Problem
For sellers, vendors, and suppliers, payouts are more than just transactions — they’re a sign of trust in the company they work with. When payments are late or unclear, confidence in that relationship weakens. Common frustrations include:
- Having to wait several days before funds arrive.
- Unexpected intermediary fees that reduce the final amount.
- Not knowing exactly when the payout will clear.
- Experiencing different timelines depending on the country.
Companies that solve these problems don’t just save costs; they build stronger, more reliable relationships with their global network of sellers and vendors.
How to Reduce Costs at Scale

The most common ways businesses send cross-border payouts today are through local bank transfers and SWIFT or wire transfers. Alongside these, newer options like stablecoin-to-fiat payouts are helping businesses remove banking delays and avoid extra costs.
Local bank transfers
By working with licensed partners in each country, payouts can move directly through local banking networks. This usually means lower transaction fees, faster settlement times, and fewer surprises for the recipient subject to the local bank’s cut-off time.
SWIFT and wire transfers
SWIFT and wires remain the backbone of many international payouts. They’re secure and widely accepted, especially for corridors where no local alternative exists with the option of sending out large payments. While they can take longer and involve more fees than local transfers, costs can be reduced by using payout providers that optimize routes and minimize intermediary bank charges.
Stablecoin to fiat payouts
Smarter payout methods are also emerging. Stablecoins allow value to move almost instantly, without the usual banking delays or intermediary deductions. With the right infrastructure, they can be converted directly into any supported local currency, so sellers and vendors always receive fiat in their accounts. Tazapay supports this flow, giving businesses more flexibility while reducing unnecessary costs and delays.*
How to Improve Seller and Vendor Experience
Reducing costs is important, but speed and reliability matter even more to sellers and vendors. A strong payout experience usually comes down to:
- Speed. Local bank transfers and stablecoin-to-fiat payouts can settle in hours or within a day, compared to several days for some wires.
- Clarity. Dashboards that show payout status, FX rates, and reconciliation help recipients plan ahead.
- Consistency. Sellers and vendors expect the same dependable payout experience whether they’re in India, Brazil, or Europe.
- Flexibility. Offering multiple payout options gives businesses the ability to meet different needs and build stronger trust.
Scaling Payouts with Confidence
Managing payouts across multiple countries and currencies isn’t simple. It requires more than just moving money — it calls for compliance, automation, and a partner that can handle scale.

Conclusion
Cross-border payouts are no longer just an operational detail. They directly shape how sellers, vendors, and suppliers see your company and whether they continue working with you. By combining local bank transfers, SWIFT, and smarter options like stablecoin-to-fiat, businesses can reduce costs, avoid unnecessary delays, and deliver a payout experience that grows with them.
