Streamlined Supplier Payments Beyond 
Virtual Cards

When paying suppliers internationally, ConnexPay transparently passes through any FX or cross-border fees incurred, not marking them up for profit. Specific FX handling depends on the card product and currencies involved. For any travel payments, our Global Travel card allows you to pay suppliers in any currency without incurring any cross-border or FX fees.

A PayIn is a method of funding the account balance to make payments, whether using customer payments or operating capital. PayOut refers to any method of making a supplier or vendor payment, as well as balance transfers or wires.

You do not need an entity in the United States to be able to pay in USD. ConnexPay's solution allows for USD payments regardless of where your business is located.

ConnexPay supports funding card payments in USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD as our core issuing currencies. The currency used to fund card payments typically needs to match your account's designated accounting currency. For international payments, ConnexPay offers currency conversion services, though fees may apply for conversions.

Being Merchant of Record means you're officially responsible for processing customer payments, which provides several benefits: greater control over the payment process, direct relationship with customers, ability to manage chargebacks and disputes, opportunities for enhanced data collection, and potential for increased revenue through card rebates. It also allows for more flexibility in payment options offered to customers.

ConnexPay supports payments in multiple currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD for our core issuing currencies. Our Global Travel VCC support payments in over 60 currencies worldwide.

ConnexPay's business model is built around the integration of both acquiring (PayIns) and issuing (PayOuts) to provide a complete payment solution that simplifies cash flow management. While some clients may start with just one service (like issuing-only "Lite" clients), the full value proposition comes from using both services together to benefit from straight-through processing, reduced prefunding requirements, and optimized rebates.

For most clients, rebates are automatically applied to your account balance. The specific timing and delivery method of rebates may vary based on your agreement with ConnexPay and the funding model you're using (such as Flex Funding).

Rebates are typically processed monthly and are included in your monthly invoice or settlement.

ConnexPay offers various rate options including our Flex Card (a variable-rate virtual card with over 30 dynamic rates), or our Global Travel VCC with tiered interchange rates (ranging from 100-200 basis points) for price-sensitive suppliers. For UATP cards, the interchange cost to merchants varies from 165-197 basis points.

Intelligent PayOuts (IPO) is ConnexPay's patented decisioning engine that systematically determines which cards should be accepted and what virtual cards should be issued to maximize acceptance and rebates. IPO uses the supplier information submitted with card requests to determine the optimal card brand (Visa or Mastercard) and settings for each specific supplier. It's enabled by default for all clients to optimize payment success rates.

BIN rotation is part of ConnexPay's Intelligent PayOuts (IPO) system that automatically selects the optimal BIN (Bank Identification Number) for each transaction based on the merchant being paid. The system analyzes historical acceptance data and supplier information to determine which card brand (Visa or Mastercard) and specific BIN will have the highest likelihood of acceptance and optimal interchange rates.
