Infinity

TL;DR:

Infinity simplifies banking for global businesses. It enables cross-border Indian companies to conduct transactions and receive payments in local currencies. Additionally, Infinity offers an in-house treasury management solution, allowing businesses to earn yield on idle cash and mitigate FX risks.

Hey everyone! We’re Sourav and Sidharth and we're building a business banking platform for cross-border SMBs and Startups. In our past jobs, we worked as founders, wealth managers, growth hackers, and founding engineers at high-growth fintech startups.

🤔 Problem

Business banking is difficult. More so if you are global. Cross-border payments pose several challenges due to the complexities involved in transferring funds across different countries and jurisdictions.

Global payments are expensive
One of the more basic issues with FX transactions is the lack of transparency in terms of the cost to execute FX payments. These costs can include wire transfer fees, correspondent bank fees, currency conversion fees, and intermediary fees, among others. While existing market providers might stress that one factor is low (lower than that of a competitor), that same institution might have high fees in another area, offsetting those savings.

In general for every dollar a business moves from the US to India, business loses 7%.

Global payments are slow
In the majority of instances, international bank transfers are facilitated via the SWIFT network. This network ensures the transmission of your payment to its intended recipient. Nevertheless, the path isn't always direct. Certain payments may be routed through intermediaries, often referred to as correspondent banks, akin to making multiple connecting flights before reaching your final destination.

Generally speaking, international bank transfers will arrive within one to five working days.

There’s a compliance risk
Each transaction must be promptly reported to the Central Bank of India, accompanied by the correct invoice and purpose codes (of which there are numerous variations), sign-off from chartered accountants, etc. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in payment delays extending for months.

And There’s a FX risk
The conversion rates between USD and INR are variable.

What you receive today may differ from what you get in five days. If a business converts USD to INR five days from now and the dollar weakens, it will incur losses.
