How FastStables Cuts Payment Costs by 10x for Australian Businesses

For most Australian businesses working with overseas clients, getting paid quickly and predictably is crucial. The difference between funds arriving instantly and waiting several days can make or break cash flow.

In 2024, global stablecoin transaction volumes surpassed US$27.6 trillion, overtaking Visa and Mastercard combined. That momentum signals a worldwide shift: businesses everywhere are choosing faster, cheaper settlement options over the delays and costs of traditional banking.

And in the Asia-Pacific region alone, over US$2.4 trillion in USDC payments were processed in a single year, proof that the movement is already well underway.

Settlement Times: Minutes vs Days

Traditional bank transfers: International wires can take 1–3 business days to clear. Time zones, weekends, and compliance reviews often stretch settlement even longer.

Stablecoin + FastStables: Payments settle instantly. Your overseas client sends USDC or USDT, and FastStables converts it to AUD within minutes, landing directly into your Australian bank account via PayID.

For businesses managing tight budgets or paying suppliers on strict schedules, that speed can make a measurable difference to cash flow.

Real-World Example: Faster Settlement for a Law Firm

A Melbourne-based law firm began accepting client payments in stablecoins through FastStables. Instead of waiting several days for overseas bank transfers, they received instant AUD settlements, improving liquidity and freeing up working capital.

This shift allowed them to:

• Pay suppliers faster
• Improve internal cash flow
• Strengthen trust with international clients who preferred paying in digital dollars

Cost & Predictability

When accepting card payments, businesses typically lose 1–3% of every transaction to Visa or Mastercard fees.

On a $10,000 invoice, that is $100–$300 gone before the money even reaches your account.

With FastStables, settlement costs just 0.25% which is $25 on the same $10,000 invoice.

No hidden FX spreads.
No extra wire transfer fees.
Full transparency on every transaction.

The result: predictable, straightforward costs that are up to 10x cheaper than card networks and dramatically lower than traditional international payments.

The Bottom Line

Traditional international bank transfers are slow, expensive, and unpredictable.

Stablecoin payments, powered by FastStables, are instant, cheaper, and cash-flow friendly.

With a 0.25% settlement fee, instant PayID payouts, and Xero integration, FastStables helps Australian businesses simplify global payments and keep more of their money.

Stablecoins are already moving more money globally than Visa and Mastercard combined. The question is no longer "if" they will impact your business, it is "when."
