DeepFind Agency

As a financial agency business paying suppliers across China, Dubai, the USA, and India, we needed an IMTO that understood our world: competitive FX rates, multiple transfer corridors, and zero concentration risk. Yala checks every box, and they actually listen.

Vivove

We manage supplier relationships across the US, Turkey, China, Mexico, the UK, Poland, Italy, and more. Reliable international payments aren't optional for us, they're critical. Since switching to Yala, processing is faster, FX rates have improved our margins, and Swift POPs mean our suppliers get confirmation quickly.

Bio-Med Equip

As a medical equipment business paying suppliers in India, Singapore, and the USA, we used to rely on bank transfers and Form M processing, which was stressful and slow. Yala changed that entirely. Payouts are seamless, FX rates are competitive, and what was once a drawn out process is now efficient.
