Top 10 Business Payment Corridors Powering Global Trade

The world talks a lot about remittances — but the real money moves for business payments. Corporate and B2B cross-border transactions represent over $150trillion annually, dwarfing the remittance economy many times over.

 

These flows are made to fund trade, supply chains, SaaS exports, logistics, travel, procurement etc — the hidden backbone of globalization. Increasingly these payments are shifting from bank-led wire transfers to FinTech- and PSP-led payments that offer faster settlement, transparent FX & fee, and full compliance visibility.

 

Every trade route, from US–EU to China–ASEAN, represents a living financial corridor — a digital artery moving funds for supply chains, procurement, SaaS exports, and corporate settlements.

 

Welcome to the new age of corridor-driven business payments, where capital moves not through banks but through intelligent, regulated payment networks built by companies like RemittancesHub.
