The finance stack for global expansion
What to add when you open your second, third and fourth country.
Quick answer
TL;DR
What to add when you open your second, third and fourth country.
- •Country 2: add multi-currency banking (Wise, Airwallex).
- •Country 3: add a global card issuer (Airwallex, Navan Liquid).
- •Country 4+: add a multi-entity spend platform (Payhawk, Spendesk).
Country 2
Your first international entity. Add multi-currency banking — Wise Business or Airwallex — to hold and send in local currency without round-tripping through USD.
Country 3
Issuance becomes painful. Airwallex, Navan Liquid or Stripe Issuing let you issue local-currency cards in 20+ countries from one platform.
Country 4+
Reconciliation becomes the bottleneck. Payhawk, Spendesk and Navan have native multi-entity / multi-subsidiary support that consolidates into your ERP.
