A mid-sized oil exporter supplying to Southeast Asia and Middle East markets was
handling large-ticket transactions regularly, with monthly inflows of ₹3–4 crore.While
volumes were strong, the finance team faced ongoing challenges:
- FX margins (~0.8–1%) quietly reducing overall realization
- $40–$60 deductions on every transaction due to correspondent banks
- INR credits taking 3–5 working days, affecting working capital cycles
- Difficulty in planning payments to suppliers due to uncertain timelines
Even small inefficiencies became significant due to the high transaction values.
Xchangepe Solution:
The exporter shifted collections to Xchangepe to improve efficiency and predictability.
- Lower FX markup (~0.2%) with full transparency

Conclusion

settlement speed create a big impact. Xchangepe helped the exporter improve margins
while bringing predictability to their cash flow.
