In this episode, we’re joined by Simon Bishop, 91¿ì»îÁÖ's Director & Head of Singapore, for a conversation about how businesses – those based in the APAC region in particular – might benefit from a facility for sending or receiving payments in the local currencies of the countries where they operate.

Our discussion will center on why a business would consider opening foreign currency accounts, what types of transactions may be streamlined through the use of a local currency account, and why an organisation would consider paying a vendor or a service provider in their local currency.

We’ll take a dive into the differences between how small versus large businesses use local currency accounts, and what their options might be for opening those accounts: When you’re opening a foreign denominated account, how do you go about it? What's the time frame? What are the costs? What else is involved?

While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to these questions, our conversation will frame the most important considerations and offer insightful context – join us to get started!

We’ve also spoken on this topic before, with a perspective from North America – click here to watch that episode as well!
