Accepting International Business Payments

Written By Shannon Hewlko

The rise of stablecoins is changing international business payments, particularly in Asia and Latin America where digital currencies like USDT and USDC are common. With stablecoin transaction volumes exceeding $35 trillion annually and demand for real-time global payments increasing, financial institutions have an unique opportunity to meet the evolving needs of businesses in the global economy.

Benefit

Stablecoin payments allow financial institutions to eliminate legacy inefficiencies, reduce reliance on third-party intermediaries, and unlock new revenue streams. Real-time transactions help banks and credit unions stay competitive.

Current State without Paywhere
Today crossborder payments are expensive (2-7%), slow (3-5 business days), manual and opaque using legacy rails like SWIFT.

Why Paywhere
Paywhere enables banks and credit unions to integrate stablecoin payments seamlessly, offering fast settlements, new revenue streams, and transparent transactions. With Stablecoin Link, financial institutions can deliver modern financial services without the complexity of legacy systems.

Shannon’s passion for design and the creative process was sparked while working abroad with the talented and inspiring team at Heatherwick Studio - a design architectural practice in London, England. Upon returning to Canada, Shannon embraced her interest and natural talent by studying at the Alberta College of Art and Design, where she graduated with a degree in Visual Communications and a double major in Advertising and Graphic Design.

Through her evolving roles at Trigger, CP Rail, Western Sky Creative and Anstice Communications, Shannon honed her ability to create compelling stories through visual design that not only complement communications’ tactics but elevate a brand’s essence. Shannon’s fun-loving, adventurous approach to her work, coupled with her drive for consistent project execution and cultivating cohesive brands, is unique, motivating and inspiring.

On a personal note, Shannon is an aspiring triathlete and there is no doubt that she passes those long hours biking, swimming and running by dreaming up ideas and developing strategies for her many projects. When she’s not training for her next triathlon, Shannon stays in shape by picking up mad dance skills from her two-year-old niece, Tootie, at their weekly dance off in her sister’s living room.
