Pay Raw Material Suppliers & Receive Buyer Payments Globally
African manufacturers need to pay for raw material imports AND collect export proceeds. KeyBS handles both sides of the transaction at 1.5% flat fee.
The Challenges You Face
Both import and export payment friction
Manufacturers face dual pain — paying overseas raw material suppliers AND collecting from international buyers — each with separate bank fees and delays.
Input cost inflation from FX
When raw materials are priced in USD or CNY and your revenue is in GHS or NGN, every point of FX spread directly cuts into your manufacturing margin.
No rate locking on large import payables
Between order confirmation and payment, local currency depreciation can add 3–5% to your imported input costs with no mechanism to hedge.
