Removing the complexity from international business transactions for GetMyBoat
Many seas, one international payment processing platform
From pontoon boat rentals to yacht rentals, GetMyBoat is the leading marketplace for renting a boat across the globe. With markets spanning from the Caribbean to the US to the Mediterranean, GetMyBoat sought a reliable partner to minimize the complexity of international transactions, while enabling business operations at scale and driving customer satisfaction.
When existing processes can’t keep up
To handle international business transactions, GetMyBoat first turned to manual processes within the standard bank system. However, the process became too time-consuming and inefficient to support the quickly growing business. Plus, the costs of wire transfers were prohibitively expensive for global implementation.
Scalability
Manual processes — from setting up costly bank wire transfer one at a time to creating payment templates for the boat owners — were not sustainable for the growing business.
Integrations & Compliance
GetMyBoat needed a payment processing system that not only seamlessly integrated with its existing platform but also complied with international bank regulations.
Payment Efficiency
Recreational boat owners expected payment upfront, often the same day as the end user payment for the rental.
Customer experience
The solution had to work with collections and payments for both parties involved, ensuring a seamless payment processing for both the renters and their customers on the platform.
International collections and payments made simple
Currencycloud’s platform filled the void of international payouts for GetMyBoat. The software allowed payments to occur more quickly, securely and efficiently, as compared to banks and Fintech competitors, and the automated system freed up employee time from manual processing.
