Cross-border banking involves financial transactions and services conducted between individuals, businesses, or institutions located in different countries. These operations include international payments, remittances, trade finance, and foreign exchange. Traditional cross-border banking often faces challenges related to high costs, slow settlement times, and complex regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. It is a fundamental component of global commerce.
