&lt;p&gt;Timing when to exchange money from one currency to another is something we&amp;#39;ve probably all experienced. Domestic payments are getting faster and cheaper in many countries. The challenge now is to link those systems together and make cross-border payments as fast and as seamless as the best domestic systems to meet customer expectations for fast money movement no matter where it&amp;#39;s being sent.
