Cross-border business payments for international trade
Every business has its own payment priorities. A purchase deposit, a production milestone and a freight invoice each have a different place in the commercial relationship. Bring those priorities to your conversation with Brisk Pay.
Importers
From an initial purchase deposit to the final supplier invoice, overseas sourcing creates payment commitments throughout your purchasing cycle. Invoice currencies and agreed milestones shape those commitments. Explore payment considerations for importers and exporters.
Manufacturers
Raw materials, components and overseas production partners create commitments throughout the production cycle. International invoice payments need to be considered alongside procurement schedules and the currencies your suppliers request.
Wholesalers
Stock purchases and replenishment orders bring recurring overseas supplier commitments. Each purchasing cycle connects inventory decisions with international invoices and currency requirements. Read about payment considerations for wholesalers.
Logistics and freight businesses
Freight invoices, overseas agents and transport partners connect payment decisions to the movement of goods. Bring the commercial context of each shipment into your payment planning. Explore payment considerations for logistics businesses.
Exporters
International sales create payment needs beyond the customer invoice: overseas suppliers, service partners and distribution costs. Consider those outgoing commitments alongside your international receivables and currency requirements.
International trading companies
Purchase and sale contracts can involve several counterparties, markets and currencies. Your payment priorities span the trading cycle, from the initial supplier commitment to the final commercial balance.
Overseas supplier payments and international invoices
Supplier relationships depend on more than the purchase price. Deposits, staged invoices, final balances and recurring orders all shape your company's payment priorities.
Whether you are planning a new purchase or managing recurring orders, discuss your international invoice payments with Brisk Pay. Consider payment and business FX requirements together, in the context of the supplier commitments behind them.
Business FX and multi-currency requirements
When your supplier invoices in one currency and your business plans in another, currency conversion becomes part of the commercial decision. The exchange rate, total conversion cost and payment timing all belong in that discussion.
Explore your business FX requirements alongside overseas supplier invoices, purchasing currencies and customer receivables. Start with the currency needs of your business and the priorities behind each transaction.
Same-day settlement for eligible business payments
Brisk Pay offers same-day settlement on eligible supported payment flows, helping finance teams manage time-sensitive supplier invoices and international business payments.
Timing depends on the applicable payment conditions, including funding, cut-offs, banking days and any required reviews.
Payment priorities for finance leaders
Cash flow and supplier commitments
For CFOs and Finance Directors, international payments sit alongside working capital, supplier relationships and commercial planning. Put the obligations behind each payment at the centre of the conversation.
Currency decisions and total cost
For Treasury Managers, funding currencies, invoice currencies and conversion requirements are connected decisions. Consider them alongside the costs and timing of the underlying trade.
Accounts and payment requirements
For finance and accounts-payable teams, the account relationship is another part of payment planning. Explore the business account information and bring your account and payment questions to Brisk Pay.

International business payments: common questions
What are international business payments?
International business payments are payments for commercial activity across national borders. They include overseas supplier invoices and payments to businesses for goods or services connected with international trade.
What information should I prepare for an overseas supplier payment enquiry?
Bring a short business summary: your company and place of registration, the supplier's country, invoice currency, approximate amount and required date. Include whether the payment is a deposit, final balance or recurring commitment.
How can UK and Canadian businesses start a conversation?
Use the business enquiry form to introduce your company and its international payment needs. Outline the markets, currencies and commercial priorities you would like to discuss with Brisk Pay.
Which countries and currencies can I use?
Discuss the countries and currencies needed for your invoices with Brisk Pay before arranging a payment. Specify whether your requirement concerns paying suppliers, receiving customer payments or holding currency balances.
How long will an international business payment take?
Brisk Pay offers same-day settlement on eligible supported payment flows. Timing for an individual payment depends on funding, cut-offs, banking days and any required reviews. Confirm the applicable conditions before committing to a supplier receipt date.
What costs should I compare?
Consider the total payment cost: the exchange rate, conversion costs, payment fees and any intermediary or recipient-bank charges. Compare the amount paid and the amount expected by the recipient for the same currencies and transaction amount.
Can I discuss receiving customer payments as well as paying suppliers?
Yes. Outline incoming customer payments separately from outgoing supplier payments, so your enquiry covers both sides of your international trade and the different currency requirements involved.
