Reducing FX costs and improving payment efficiency for a regular importer

Overview

BSTS Tattoo Supplies sources inventory internationally on a consistent basis, with frequent overseas payments forming a core part of day-to-day operations. As order volumes increased, relying on traditional banking channels was creating unnecessary delays, inconsistent FX pricing, and rising transaction costs that were beginning to compound across regular inventory purchases. In an industry where stock availability and turnaround times directly impact customer demand, payment speed and cost control became increasingly important. AdvaFX implemented a more responsive FX and payments process, giving the business faster settlements, more competitive pricing, and direct access to dealer support when timing mattered most.

Impact

• Frequent supplier payments across international inventory orders

• Delays and inconsistent FX pricing affecting operational efficiency

• Rising FX and transfer costs compounding over time

Commercial Outcome

Reduced recurring FX costs by ~70% while improving payment speed and reliability across ongoing international inventory purchases.
