Enabling Global Supply Chain and Trade Platforms Through a Single Local Infrastructure Layer

The Challenge for Global Supply Chain and Trade Platforms

Global trade moves fast. The payment infrastructure holding it together does not.

Trade platforms facilitating AUD flows between Australian buyers and international suppliers are squeezed between the speed of modern commerce and legacy banking infrastructure. Collecting AUD means SWIFT wires, correspondent fees, and multi-day delays. Paying international suppliers means fragmented banking relationships, wide FX margins, and high-volume runs processed one transaction at a time. The result is working capital trapped in transit, strained supplier relationships, and a payment experience the platform has to own.

The Flash Payments Solution

Flash Payments provides trade platforms with a single infrastructure layer for AUD collection and multi-currency supplier disbursement. Unique VANs under a dedicated BSB automate invoice matching in real time. Outbound payments reach 50+ destinations via Flash's FX liquidity engine, with high-volume supplier runs processed via CSV upload or API. AML screening, IFTI-DRA reporting, and Confirmation of Payee are built in with no separate compliance build required.

Capabilities Delivered

• Real-Time AUD Collections with Per-Buyer Virtual Accounts: Australian buyers pay into unique VANs under the platform's dedicated BSB, with funds confirmed via NPP in real time and automatically reconciled against the corresponding trade invoice or purchase order
