The Currency Cloud Closes Another $3M To Attack Banks? Cross-Border Payments Monopoly

By some estimations the foreign exchange market processes a total of around $4 billion a day and within that the value of cross border payments made - that is, between countries - is worth about $200 billion a day, give or take a few dollars. As of today the vast majority of those cross-border payments are done through banks and it's in their interests to keep the market favourable to themselves. Typically they charge a 4% fee whenever you make a cross-border payments. Plus, making and receiving international payments is still a very manual thing, with nearly 30% of transactions running into issues. That's an extremely large, fat monopoly waiting to be disrupted, and today The Currency Cloud startup is raising yet another round of funding to attack it.
