Industrial manufacturer loses significant margin on international payments from Mexican distributors due to unfavorable FX conversion rates and bank fees, while customers prefer paying in local currency (MXN).

Traditional SWIFT wires and local bank solutions either burden the buyer with FX costs or destroy the seller's margins on conversion, and there is no middle-ground solution that allows local currency collection without opening a local entity or managing multiple banking relationships.
