About AbbeyCross
AbbeyCross is developing a wholesale marketplace to improve transparency, compliance, pricing, and service levels for payments to Emerging Market (EM) countries. Historically, a lack of relevant market data and a fragmented and inefficient wholesale market has meant that margins for payments to EM countries can be over 5%. AbbeyCross’ product roadmap has been developed through a process of co-creation with banks and EM payment providers, with a focus on benefiting the whole ecosystem. While Fintechs have traditionally found it difficult to engage banks, AbbeyCross is showing that there are large scale problems that banks are motivated to solve with the right Fintech partner.
