Bangladeshi freelancers and IT companies receiving international payments face excessive costs — bank wire fees of $25-50, exchange rate markups of 3-5% from local banks, and processing times of 3-5 days. For a freelancer earning $2,000/month, that's $100-200 lost annually to unnecessary fees. Airwallex provides multi-currency business accounts with near-interbank exchange rates, cutting transfer costs by up to 90%.
