PARO Wednesday Webinars:

The Hidden Costs of Cross-Border Payments: Why Moving Money Globally Is Still Expensive (And What's Changing) | Presented by Gharsa Amin, Founder and CEO Kavodax
When

Cross-border payments remain costly and slow despite decades of technological advancement. In this session, we'll break down why—examining the layers of correspondent banking, FX spreads, compliance overhead, and trapped liquidity that drive up costs.

As someone building payment infrastructure at Kavodax, I'll share insights from inside the industry on the emerging innovations attempting to solve these problems—from blockchain settlement rails to real-time payment networks—and the real tradeoffs between speed, cost, and coverage that these approaches navigate.

This is an educational deep-dive into how cross-border payments actually work, what makes them expensive, and how to think critically about the various solutions emerging in the market. Attendees will leave with frameworks to evaluate payment innovations and a clearer understanding of where the industry is heading.
