Two great businesses on the cusp of international expansion. One costly difference.
Bill’s business has been doing really well during the pandemic as more people are choosing to holiday domestically. He runs Sydney Boat Supplies, an online shop selling accessories for boats, towables, knee boards, waterskis, that kind of thing, to the Australian market.

Bill’s business has been doing really well during the pandemic as more people are choosing to holiday domestically. He runs Sydney Boat Supplies, an online shop selling accessories for boats, towables, knee boards, waterskis, that kind of thing, to the Australian market.
Oliver’s business, a website he runs from home in Melbourne selling organic coffee products, has also experienced a spike in orders from Ozzies who just can’t get enough of his decafs in various strengths (yeah, for real).
In such a challenging environment as this, Bill and Oliver are grateful to be doing so well.
Thanks to some social media marketing wizardry, Bill’s even started making waves in other places like New Zealand and the US.
Oliver, too, has recently started shipping signature blends to Europeans owing to a particularly chatty Aunt who spent the summer in Paris and London.
Both Bill and Oliver are having thoughts of world domination.
But, here’s where their stories diverge.
Bill’s boat bits are manufactured in China and he pays hefty international transaction fees when he pays his suppliers. Ding.
Oliver, however, gets his raw beans from Indonesia at 10x better currency conversion rates and with no transaction fees.
How does Oliver do it? There’s no magic here. He uses Airwallex. It’s a cost-effective, global business account built for retailers. It means he can pay his suppliers in their local currency from Indonesia to Europe with minimal transaction fees.
Not only that, Oliver also pays his Borderless360 fulfilment fees with Airwallex’s Visa Debit cards with 0% international transaction fees. Helping him re-invest every dollar saved into keeping up with his customers.
Don’t tell Bill.
