  • Fintech News & Views: The Case for Paying in Local Currency
    While digitalized global commerce has increased opportunities across the board, US businesses face some key challenges when paying their international vendors.

We spoke with Mary Rotondo, Corpay's Director of Business Development focused on Global Invoice Automation, about these issues and how automation enables lower-cost local currency payments to your vendors worldwide.
