MassPay Eliminates Double Conversion Fees with Single FX Hop Payouts to 180 Countries
By Lauren Towner · 1 October 2026

MassPay has expanded its multi-currency collection capabilities to eliminate the costly "double-conversion" process that plagues cross-border payouts. By allowing businesses to fund accounts in their native currencies and execute single-conversion transfers to 180 countries, the fintech is directly addressing the friction and FX spreads that typically erode the value of international disbursements.
What was announced
MassPay’s expansion of its multi-currency collection capabilities allows businesses to fund their accounts in the currencies they already hold, facilitating payouts to recipients in local currency across 180 countries. This system utilizes a single FX conversion, a significant departure from the industry-standard double-conversion route. In many traditional cross-border scenarios, funds must first be converted into a primary reserve currency, typically USD, before being converted a second time into the recipient’s local currency.
By removing this intermediary step, the platform aims to reduce the total cost of transactions by minimizing FX spreads and eliminating the fees associated with multiple conversions. This is particularly relevant for businesses operating in regions with volatile or less-liquid currencies, where double-conversion can significantly diminish the value of the final payout. The service is designed for high-volume users who require a streamlined method to manage global disbursements without the logistical burden of managing dozens of different currency accounts manually. The initiative ensures that more of the intended payout reaches the recipient, improving the efficiency of global supply chains, affiliate networks, and international payroll systems. The capability is now live across MassPay's global network, covering a vast geography of 180 countries.
"By removing this intermediary step, MassPay reduces FX costs, spreads, and complexity, while allowing more of the payout to reach the recipient."

What this means
The move to eliminate double-conversion is a direct challenge to the correspondent banking status quo that has long favored major reserve currencies like the USD. For the fintech sector, this signals a shift toward more transparent, direct-to-local payout models. Competitors in the remittance and corporate payout space are under increasing pressure to justify FX spreads when technology now allows for single-hop conversions. This announcement raises questions about the future role of intermediary banks; as more platforms internalize FX management, the traditional "toll-gate" model of international finance becomes harder to maintain. The industry is moving toward a currency-agnostic funding model where the efficiency of the orchestration layer is the primary differentiator.
