The Problem
Cross-Border transaction forms ask 20 fields – ready to overwhelm everyone.
An SME finance manager opens the banking app to pay a supplier in Shenzhen. They see an empty form: IBAN, BIC, CNAPS code, beneficiary address, purpose code — and start a painful user journey to fill up to 20 fields with a high likelihood to fail on the first try.
And those who give up and close the banking app, search the web for »how to send international payment«. And FinTechs, not banks, are the go-to-solution.
72%
of SWIFT exceptions are caused by manual data-entry mistakes at the initiation form
$15-40
is the industry cost of repairing one failed cross-border payment
$1.6B
is spent across the industry every year investigating delayed cross-border payments
How It Works
Three steps.
No typing.
1
Photo or PDF
Your customer snaps the supplier invoice — or drops in a PDF. Directly inside your mobile or online banking app.
2
Data flies into the form
Gini extracts all 10–20 SWIFT fields: beneficiary, IBAN/account, BIC, routing code (CNAPS, IFSC, ABA, Sort Code, Zengin…), amount, currency, purpose code. Validated against the SWIFT network.
3
Review. Confirm. Send.
Your customer sees a filled-in, ISO 20022-compliant form. One tap — the payment leaves clean. No returns, no repairs.
Instant Benefits
Three levers
that hit month one.
A bank running 10,000 international payments per month spends €7,500–€20,000/month on repair operations today. Cross-Border Photo Payment costs less — and shrinks the volume at source.

ROI on repair savings alone
Repair cost disappears
72% of SWIFT exceptions are data-entry errors. Less typing = fewer errors. Payback in 30 days from repair savings alone.

Halve support calls
»What is a CNAPS code?« is the most common SME call on international payments. With photo capture, the question disappears.
Users love it
The finance manager doesn’t want to type 20 fields. They want to pay the supplier.
Compliance
ISO 20022 is live.
The initiation layer isn’t.
Since November 2025, every SWIFT cross-border credit transfer uses pacs.008 — the exact format Cross-Border Photo Payment outputs natively. You invested in backend compliance. We close the last gap: the input layer your customer touches.

ROI Calculator
Run the numbers yourself.
Two inputs. One answer.
Assumptions conservative and sourced (SWIFT 2022, SRM Corp 2024, McKinsey 2024).
Assumptions: €30 repair & €8 support cost per error · €20 FX margin per diverted payment · 5% of volume diverted to FinTechs, ~30% recapturable. Only the recoverable share is counted — not the gross loss.
