“XFlow is simplifying cross border payments for Indian companies, enabling businesses of all sizes to expand globally by providing secure and seamless cross border transactions.

Anand Krishna, CEO and Founder of Inkle (a chat-based accountant product) said, “XFlow has made it super simple for us to go live with Inkle’s specific cross-border payment use case (intercompany transfer pricing payments) within weeks instead of months, with just a few simple APIs.
