How Tech Companies Can Open USD, EUR & GBP and Stablecoins Business Accounts and Operate Globally

As tech companies scale across borders, the barriers to operating globally extend far beyond product localisation or legal entity formation. One of the most persistent and underestimated bottlenecks is financial infrastructure. For modern technology businesses—whether SaaS providers, AI platforms, hardware innovators, or global marketplaces—traditional banking systems often lag behind the speed, agility, and global mindset these firms demand.


Opening USD, EUR, and GBP accounts across multiple jurisdictions can take weeks. Moving funds between them is slow and costly. Holding capital in unstable currencies exposes operations to material FX risk. And for tech firms operating in or paying into emerging markets, banking barriers are often insurmountable.


This article explores how technology companies can overcome these structural challenges by using multi-currency business accounts and stablecoins to build a global financial backbone—and how Stable provides a single platform to do just that.


The Financial Roadblocks Facing Global Tech Companies

Despite building for a digital-first world, tech firms are forced to operate on legacy financial rails that create serious operational drag:


1. Currency Volatility in Emerging Economies

Startups hiring globally or contracting developers, agencies, or vendors in countries like Nigeria, Argentina, or Pakistan often struggle to maintain cost predictability. Volatile local currencies introduce real budgeting and financial planning risks.


2. Expensive, Slow Global Payments

International bank transfers typically take 2–5 days to settle and can cost 2–6% of the transaction value in combined FX margin and bank fees. This inefficiency eats into margins and slows operations.


3. Complex Multi-Banking Setup

To operate in multiple currencies, firms often open multiple bank accounts across jurisdictions—each with its own compliance, onboarding, and operational workflows. This creates friction, reduces visibility, and increases error risk.


4. Limited Local Banking Access

In many high-growth markets, accessing international banking rails is impossible or prohibitively complex. Local vendors, freelancers, or staff often face delays, high fees, or payment freezes.


5. Lack of FX Control

Without intelligent treasury infrastructure, tech companies are exposed to FX risks across payroll, vendor payments, and revenue conversion. This instability undermines confidence in scaling cross-border operations.


A New Model: Multi-Currency + Stablecoin Accounts with Stable

Stable offers tech companies a globally scalable financial infrastructure: business accounts that let you hold, send, receive, and convert between USD, EUR, GBP and stablecoins—from a single platform.


1. Multi-Currency Business Accounts

Stable enables you to open USD, EUR, and GBP accounts without needing local bank registrations. Funds can be held, sent, or received natively in each currency, helping you:

  • Match payments to invoice currencies

  • Reduce forced FX conversions

  • Improve predictability in cash flow planning


2. Stablecoin-Powered Transfers

Stable integrates with regulated stablecoins such as USDC and EURC, giving you:

  • 24/7 global payments that settle in minutes

  • Price-stable currency value (no inflation exposure)

  • Instant vendor access in emerging markets with weak banking infrastructure


This removes reliance on SWIFT or correspondent banks and enables efficient payments even in traditionally underbanked regions.


3. Enterprise-Grade FX Management

Stable lets tech companies convert currencies on-demand at competitive rates. Our platform:

  • Eliminates double conversions

  • Avoids predatory bank FX spreads

  • Supports cost-effective treasury allocation across currencies


Practical Use Cases for Tech Companies


SaaS Startups Serving Global Customers

SaaS firms with international customer bases can:

  • Invoice clients in USD, EUR, or GBP

  • Collect funds via global account numbers

  • Retain earnings in the same currency for FX protection

  • Pay remote teams in local fiat or USDC


By avoiding conversions and delays, these companies improve cash flow and simplify international expansion.



Remote-First Teams and Developer Networks

Tech firms hiring developers in volatile-currency markets (e.g. Turkey, Argentina, Pakistan) can:

  • Pay in USDC or EURC to avoid local depreciation

  • Settle instantly with no intermediary banks

  • Ensure freelancers receive full payment without deduction delays


This builds trust with remote teams and reduces administrative overhead.



Hardware or IoT Startups With Global Supply Chains

Manufacturing startups can:

  • Hold USD to pay component suppliers in Asia

  • Use EUR for logistics and freight across Europe

  • Maintain GBP balances for UK contracts


For vendors in regions with banking restrictions, stablecoins provide an instant, borderless fallback mechanism.


AI or Web3 Platforms Managing International Communities

Tech platforms paying bounties, incentives, or royalties to global communities can use stablecoins to:

  • Distribute payments transparently and instantly

  • Avoid tax complexity by standardising currency value

  • Give users choice between fiat and stablecoin withdrawals


This unlocks true global participation without payment barriers.

Tech Companies Building the Future Need Modern Financial Infrastructure
