International payments should not feel this complicated

SWIFT can be useful, but it is not always the best route for regular, lower-value business payments. Local payment methods help you send money through domestic rails in the recipient's market, making payments faster, clearer and often cheaper.

Lower payment costs

Use local rails for eligible payments and reduce unnecessary correspondent banking charges.

Faster settlement

Many eligible payments settle same-day or within 24 hours.

Fewer payment surprises

Avoid unclear intermediary deductions on supported local rail payments.

Built for businesses paying global teams and partners

Amaiz local payment methods are ideal for companies that send regular payments to suppliers, contractors, affiliates, agencies and platform users.

IT and software companies

You pay publishers, influencers, and affiliate partners across multiple countries — some in markets where SWIFT is slow or expensive.

Amaiz lets you use local payment methods so affiliate payouts can reach recipients through local rails instead of one route for every market.

Affiliate networks

Amaiz lets you use local payment methods so affiliate payouts can reach recipients through local rails instead of one route for every market.

Ecommerce

You pay overseas suppliers and fulfilment partners. Routing every payment through a bank can add cost and delay

Amaiz helps route payments through local payment methods, so you can pay partners on a route that fits their country — without a separate provider for every corridor.

Startups

You are cross-border from day one — paying contractors, launch partners, and agencies before your banking setup has caught up.

Amaiz gives startups access to local payment methods, helping you pay international partners through local routes without building a patchwork of providers.

Businesses with outsourced teams

You pay developers, designers, and specialists spread across multiple countries. Every payday means different cut-off times, correspondent charges, and conversion costs per corridor.

Amaiz routes each payout through the local rail for that country — so contractors receive funds faster, with fewer deductions, from one account.
