Cross-Border Payments Help Businesses Compete In Our Connected World
Today, fintechs such as Onbe are deploying technologies that make it simpler and more cost-effective for domestic companies to pay their international recipients.
From embracing fully remote workers based anywhere in the world to trading multi-day flights for the convenience of meeting clients on Zoom, the way we conduct international business has transformed over the past couple of years. Yes, the pandemic and current geopolitical climate are responsible for many of these changes, but so is the advancement of digital technology that helps businesses stay connected to their workers and customers anywhere in the world. Whether you’re paying cruise ship employees that travel across borders every day or creative workers taking advantage of the work-from-anywhere capabilities our digital economy allows, businesses today need fast, convenient, and secure ways to pay their workforces.
Global payment capabilities are also important to other types of nontraditional workers. In Onbe’s 2023 Future of Payments study, we found that 100% of gig workers in the U.S. say the option to exchange funds to a foreign currency is valuable to them. Given these preferences for digital payment technologies, there are inevitably greater demands on businesses to deliver modern payment experiences, anywhere in the world, that are fast, secure, and convenient – whether they are paying guest workers, gig workers, influencers, or even consumers in emerging markets.
The opportunity for fintechs like Onbe is to leverage innovative product development while working within regulatory frameworks to make it possible for organizations to meet these changing expectations. Digital infrastructure and automated processes that adhere to anti-money laundering and other regulations enable fast, secure and convenient cross-border payments and disbursements. These developments mean that payments are one less piece of the puzzle businesses need to figure out when serving their clients around the world; it’s now much simpler to meet consumers and workforces wherever they are.

i'm losing access to my housing on the 29th of may, and i'm trying to gather funds to make it over to my friend in portland that has a place for me to stay.
i've got my plane ticket for the 5th of june, i need to secure funds for the storage container payment for the month by the 29th, and i need to have enough to take an uber from the airport to my friend's as soon as possible.
the storage container is 150 dollars, and the uber can range from 40-60 dollars. that needs to be secured as soon as possible.
the most direct way to help me with that is through my p@yp@l and vnmo, both are linked, and $chxseallen. gofundme takes a percentage and is a slower disbursement.
i also need to cover costs of living while i'm still working on getting a job and place, for things like food, transit, medication and appointment co-pays, and other general essentials. the gofundme to assist in that is below:

Sweden resumes aid to UNRWA as Israel steps up Gaza attacks
First payment of $20m to be disbursed after Sweden gets assurances of the UNRWA’s checks on spending and personnel.
(9 Mar 2024)
Sweden has said it is resuming aid to the cash-strapped United Nations agency for Palestinians with an initial disbursement of $20m after receiving assurances of extra checks on its spending and personnel.
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the main humanitarian agency in Gaza, faced an unprecedented funding crisis after its major international donors led by the United States cut its funding over “terror” allegations.
Like several other countries, Sweden suspended aid to the UNRWA after Israel accused about a dozen of its employees of involvement in the October 7 Hamas-led attack before the conflict in Gaza.
Sweden said on Saturday that “the government has allocated 400 million kronor to UNRWA for the year 2024. Today’s decision concerns a first payment of 200 million kronor ($19.4)”.
To unblock the aid, the UNRWA had agreed to “allow controls, independent audits, to strengthen internal supervision and extra controls of personnel”, the government said.
[See article for embedded video] The Swedish move came after the European Commission earlier this month said it would release 50 million euros ($54.7m) in UNRWA funding.
On Friday, Canada announced it was lifting a freeze on funding for the UNRWA, after it joined the US, the United Kingdom and other countries in cutting aid in late January.
“The agency is at risk of death, it is risking dismantlement,” the UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini told Swiss broadcaster RTS in an interview aired on Saturday.
“What is at stake is the fate of the Palestinians today in Gaza in the short term who are going through an absolutely unprecedented humanitarian crisis.”
The UNRWA has been at the centre of efforts to providing humanitarian relief in Gaza, where the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported last month that at least half a million – or one in four people – face famine.
Israel has severely restricted the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza by land, prompting the US and other countries to resort to stopgap measures such as airdropping meals into the enclave.
Such steps by the US, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt have been criticised by aid agencies as a costly and ineffective way of delivering food and medical supplies.
The UNRWA has said that Israeli authorities have not allowed it to deliver supplies to the north of the Strip since January 23.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reported that in northern Gaza “we are seeing children dying in this enforced starvation and dehydration due to the famine spreading”.
He said on Saturday that three more children died at al-Shifa Hospital, as a result of starvation and dehydration, increasing the number of such deaths to 23.
At least 30,960 Palestinians have been killed and 72,524 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, and dozens continue to be held captive.

Back as a limited edition for @wonderwoolwales, it’s Sacrilegious & Exclusionary! There are a few left over on sock weight only.
If you’re interested, I’d be extra grateful to anyone using pay pal as I have immediate access to that. My card provider is making it difficult for me to disburse our earnings from the show. This means that although I’ve been able to bank all the cash and use it to buy more yarn, if you used a card then I have not been paid yet. Shopify payments take 3-10 days to reach me, depending on which day of the week folk purchase but it’s predictable so I can plan for that. Clearpay is the worst because they take a *massive* cut!
I know we’re not supposed to talk about these things, but the reason for that is financial mega corporations don’t want you to think about how they extract from small businesses. If you are a kind person, you might not necessarily expect these things so I’m providing the information. The lesson here is not that I should work harder to avoid unavoidable systemic problems, but that we are all affected by sucky things occasionally. You are not alone and it is not your fault either.

In the spring of 2020 Lebanon failed to make payments on $32 billion of international bonds. The Lebanese political class did not have the will to enter into serious negotiations with its creditors, resulting in a “hard default”. As the crisis escalated, it was revealed that without government approval the financial elite had used the accounts of the central bank to support Lebanon’s private banks, to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. [...] Meanwhile, the Lebanese parliament in a grotesque act of self-dealing in January 2024 passed a budget that promised to close the budget deficit of 12.8 of GDP by raising regressive value-added tax whilst decreasing the progressive taxes levied on capital gains, real estate and investments. For lack of reforms, the IMF is refusing to disburse any of the $3bn package that are allocated to Lebanon. The strategy of Lebanon’s relatively well-insulated elite seems to be to wait out the crisis hoping that in due course foreign donors will recognize that they have to provide support even in the absence of reform. Meanwhile, the on-going crises leave Lebanese with no option but to rely on the social and political forces that over the last decades have created the disastrous status quo. The most powerful of these is Israel’s antagonist Hezbollah.

Leopards Are Telling You That They Will Eat YOUR Face
By Paul Krugman
Opinion Columnist
Do you know this widely cited meme, introduced in a 2015 tweet?
“I never thought leopards would eat MY face,” sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.
It’s hard to explain why this is perfect, but it is. If Donald Trump wins, there will eventually be a lot of sobbing among people who voted for him.
Some of this will involve the frightening reality of authoritarianism; if you think you’ll be unaffected by a second Trump presidency because you aren’t undocumented or Puerto Rican or a Democratic politician, I encourage you to reassess. But I’ll get to that next week. Today I want to talk about more prosaic economic issues.
Many analysts have pointed out that Trump’s proposed tariffs would hurt most Americans, with only high-income individuals gaining enough from his tax cuts to make up the difference. Trump, of course, insists that taxes on imports — which are, essentially, a sales tax — won’t hurt American consumers. But, as The Washington Post reports, corporations are already getting ready to raise prices.
The inflationary impact of tariffs will, however, probably be only the beginning of the pain for millions of Americans if Trump wins. Over the past few days, two people who will very likely have a lot of policy influence if Republicans prevail have let the leopard out of the bag on what else we should expect from a Trump administration.
Perhaps most notably, Elon Musk — who Trump promises to appoint as the head of a government efficiency commission — says he could cut “at least $2 trillion” in federal spending, around 30 percent of the budget, declaring that it would be relatively easy given the amount of government waste, although he recently acknowledged that doing so “necessarily involves some temporary hardship.”
Those remarks alone tell you two things. First, that Musk doesn’t understand federal spending. Second, a new Trump administration would probably inflict a lot of hardship on millions of Americans, and it’s unlikely that it would be temporary.
Does the government waste money? Of course it does; so does every large organization — do you believe that every dollar Tesla disburses is well spent? But anyone asserting that waste accounts for a large fraction of federal spending really has no idea what the government does.
The federal government is best thought of as an insurance company with an army. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, military spending, plus veterans’ benefits and interest payments on the debt account for about three-quarters of overall spending. Much of the rest involves essential functions of government, from operating the courts to providing air traffic control.
So any attempt at spending reductions on the scale Musk is talking about would necessarily involve savage cuts in programs millions of people depend on. Trump has said that he won’t cut Social Security or Medicare, but his tax proposals would undermine their finances, and he conspicuously hasn’t exempted Medicaid, which covers around 70 million people.
Musk-style spending cuts, then, would almost certainly result in hardship for many Americans.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson is promising “massive reform” of the Affordable Care Act — “no Obamacare,” he declared. We don’t need to speculate about what that would mean. In 2017, Trump and his congressional allies almost passed a health care “reform” that the Congressional Budget Office estimated would have increased, by 2026, the number of Americans without health insurance by 23 million; those losing coverage would disproportionately be Americans with preexisting conditions, who need insurance most.
Many potential Trump voters are probably unaware of what’s in store and imagine that Trump would just snap his fingers and “fix” what he insists is a terrible economy. The reality, however, is that America’s economic performance under the Biden-Harris administration has been very good, especially compared with that of other countries. We’ve grown much faster than any other major wealthy nation, and we’ve substantially outperformed projections, both those made before Covid-19 struck and those made at the beginning of the Biden administration.
This achievement, says The Wall Street Journal, is “remarkable”; The Economist calls it “glorious.” Neither is what you’d call a left-wing rag.
It’s true that we had a burst of inflation in 2021 and 2022. But that was a global phenomenon; other nations had similar bursts. Furthermore, inflation has come way down, and although many remain upset, understandably, about the higher level of prices, most workers, especially the lowest paid, have seen wages outpace inflation since the start of the pandemic.
By the way: When Ronald Reagan’s re-election campaign proclaimed “It’s morning again in America,” both unemployment and inflation were substantially higher than they are now.
Would Trump do even better than Biden? Or better than Kamala Harris? There’s an unusual consensus among economists that Trump would preside over a worse economy, especially higher inflation, than Harris.
If he wins, many Trump voters are likely to experience buyer’s remorse.
Will they express their disappointment at the ballot box in 2028? They will if they can. But that assumes a free and fair election. Trump has given us plenty of reason to believe that if he wins, 2024 may be the last time America has anything resembling that.

[VOA is US State Media]
A report by researchers from Johns Hopkins University is giving China better than expected marks for its performance in helping to restructure the crippling debt loads carried by some African countries. The report is based on a detailed evaluation of Beijing's participation in the Debt Service Suspension Initiative, or DSSI, an international vehicle for developed nations to support struggling countries like Angola and Zambia. The DSSI was introduced in 2020 at the start of the global pandemic by the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, which suggested the world’s 20 largest economies, known as the G-20, temporarily halt the collection of loans from the world’s poorest nations. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and World Bank Chief David Malpass have recently accused China of being a barrier to debt relief, and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris was in default-stricken Zambia last week urging the country's bilateral creditors — of which China is the biggest — to do more on restructuring Zambia’s debt. But, despite some caveats, the report released this week by Deborah Brautigam and Yufan Huang from the China Africa Research Initiative found that overall, China “fulfilled its role fairly well as a responsible G-20 stakeholder.” The analysts added that China “did implement the minimum steps of the DSSI fairly well, communicating with other players, and following through on pledges.” According to the available data, Chinese creditors accounted for 30 percent of all claims and contributed 63 percent of debt service suspensions in the countries that participated in the DSSI. “The metric by which you evaluate [China’s] performance depends on what your expectations were for the initiative,” Brautigam told VOA, noting that this was the first time the world’s second-largest economy had joined a multilateral initiative – a move one G-20 source called “miraculous.” Brautigam said it was obvious that a new architecture is needed to deal with debt relief because the current system is dominated by the Paris Club, a group of wealthy Western nations that started lending to developing countries in 1956. In recent years, there have been more major new creditors, like China and bondholders. “So what evolves out of this is really up in the air,” she said, adding that all lenders “need to be in together because otherwise you get all these suspicions, you know, worries about free riding.” Successes and failures The study concluded that China might have achieved more during the DSSI if not for fears that countries would simply take advantage of any debt relief to repay other creditors. In Zambia, for example, Chinese creditors wanted assurances their relief wouldn’t be used to pay off the bondholders, while the bondholders were concerned that any relief from their side might go toward paying off China. China was “totally justified” in its suspicions on this front, Brautigam said, because ���in most countries, all of those creditors continued to be paid.” “We need something that is simultaneous - you know, they all need to be in the room together … so that we don’t have this first-mover problem,” she added. In Zambia, the Chinese decided against suspending their debt payments while the country was still paying bondholders, but this didn’t happen in Angola, China’s largest African borrower with around $20 billion in debt to Chinese entities. In that case, Chinese creditors provided 97% of the debt relief over the two-year period without asking for assurances that Angola wouldn’t continue making other repayments.
The researcher’s third African case study, Kenya, showed how China’s DSSI treatment was different from the other two. Chinese banks agreed to provide relief at first but later stopped loan disbursements and suspended only some 40 percent of the expected amount in 2021. Moving forward The study also showed how China's banks and central government, despite the country's top-down political structure, do not always act in unison. The fragmented nature of the Chinese system and bureaucratic hurdles often remain a barrier to debt relief. Being part of the DSSI helped address that because it “pushed the Chinese government to align interests among fragmented banks and bureaucracies with conflicting goals. This process, still under way, is a necessary step toward full acceptance of the necessity for debt restructuring in the post-pandemic era,” the researchers found. The DSSI ended in December 2021 and has been superseded by what’s known as the Common Framework to continue helping indebted countries like Zambia with their restructuring. In January, World Bank chief Malpass said, “China is asking lots of questions in the creditors' committees, and that causes delays, that strings out the process.” Last month, Yellen accused Beijing of leaving developing countries “trapped in debt.” China has called on the IMF and World Bank to also offer debt relief, with President Xi Jinping saying at the G-20 summit last year: “International financial institutions and commercial creditors, which are the main creditors of developing countries, should take part in the debt reduction and suspension for developing countries." The Chinese Embassy in Zambia hit back at the U.S., calling Yellen’s “debt trap” comments “irresponsible and unreasonable.” Ultimately, the study found, “the DSSI was a success in what some saw as its primary goal: to bring China into a multilateral, G20-supervised forum where Beijing has an equal voice.” It now remains to be seen how the challenges highlighted by the pandemic relief program spill over into the current debt negotiations.

Digital Corporate Disbursements Can Help Your Team Get It All Done (And Focus On What Matters)
Digital tools and solutions make it increasingly easier to speed up cumbersome processes and automate tasks, transforming jobs and the people who perform them.
Did you know that innovations in corporate disbursements can help carve more time out of your team’s busy days for the projects that matter most?
Let’s be honest: most of us have a few things on our to-do lists right now that won’t get done by Friday. In recent years, being stretched too thin has been an ongoing challenge for many professionals. (In fact, research from Asana found that 26% of deadlines are missed every week.) In order to find quality time for heads-down, focused work and deep, uninterrupted thought—the activities that lead to innovation and problem-solving—employees need to make space by offloading tasks that don’t really need their input. Fortunately, digital tools and solutions make it increasingly easier to speed up cumbersome processes and automate tasks, transforming jobs and the people who perform them.
Payments—and more specifically, corporate disbursements—is one area where this evolution is happening at a fast pace. Of course, at Onbe, we’re advocates for how digital corporate payment systems make it so much easier to pay customers and workforces. But many organizations are surprised to learn just how many business areas are impacted by payments—and how much time and resources these activities require when companies don’t see the opportunity to switch to more efficient processes.
Corporate disbursements represent just one of many areas where businesses can operate more efficiently and make the most of their teams’ talents. But it’s a big one. The digital acceleration we’ve seen over the past year has led to rapid adoption of payout solutions that help companies and employees do more with less effort and expense. And I think the best thing that’s coming out of this evolution is more time for the things on our to-do lists that deserve our full energy and focus: making connections, driving organizational change, and thinking up creative new ideas and solutions. That’s what I’m most passionate about in my career, and I imagine you are, too—so, let’s make it a priority to find the time and space we need to get it done!

A Riverside County grand jury has indicted Queer Works CEO Jacob Rostovsky on 53 felony counts, including grand theft and money laundering. Prosecutors allege he stole $940,000 from the city of Palm Springs, Riverside County and others.
Rostovsky ran the nonprofit organization, which accepted $700,000 from the city of Palm Springs to develop a guaranteed income pilot program. City administrators eventually grew suspicious of Rostovsky's spending and launched a compliance audit, before involving the Riverside County District Attorney's Office.
The charges filed against Rostovsky include grand theft, misappropriation of public funds, insurance fraud, perjury and money laundering.
Rostovsky surrendered to the DA's Office last week, posted $944,000 bail and pleaded not guilty to all charges in court Wednesday as the case was unsealed.
In addition to city funds from Palm Springs, Rostovsky is alleged to have misused funds from Riverside County grants. In July 2021, Queer Works received grant funding from Riverside County to aid homeless individuals and victims of domestic violence, according to a press release from the DA's Office.
Palm Springs provided Queer Works with $200,000 in March 2022 for a guaranteed income pilot program, approving an additional $500,000 that July. The program was supposed to provide 180 participants monthly stipends of $800 each.
However, the DA's Office says an investigation revealed a longstanding pattern of fraud by Rostovsky, including 89 separate instances of making false statements and submitting forged documents to Riverside County and Palm Springs. Instead of paying for those programs, the DA's Office alleges Rostovsky used a portion of the funding to make purchases at Disney, Burberry and the Beverly Garland Hotel.
Additionally, the DA's Office claims Rostovsky collected $90,000 by impersonating a Queer Works client and filing a fraudulent insurance claim against Queer Works. Using an alias, Rostovsky allegedly negotiated a settlement with Queer Works' insurance carrier, Philadelphia Insurance. He later directed the payout from the settlement to himself, according to the DA.
District Attorney Mike Hestrin called out potential government misconduct in relation to the alleged Queer Works fraud.
“I am calling on the Riverside County Civil Grand Jury to investigate any potential government malfeasance or misconduct that may have occurred in the administration of these contracts,” he said in the press release. “It is simply unacceptable that public funds are handed out with the lack of due diligence or oversight that is alleged in this case. The people of Riverside County deserve better from their public officials who have a duty to act as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
The Palm Springs City Council has updated its financial policies to tighten control of grant disbursements in an apparent response to the Queer Works scandal. Changes include eliminating lump sum payments over $75,000 and requiring organizations receiving over that amount to submit to an independent audit.
"The City of Palm Springs fully supports the Riverside County District Attorney’s efforts in investigating and indicting Mr. Jacob Rostovsky for allegedly defrauding the taxpayers of our city, our county and state out of hundreds of thousands of dollars," city spokesperson Amy Blaisdell said in a statement. "The 53-felony count indictment includes fraud, grand theft, and misappropriation of public funds. While the City recognizes that all criminal defendants are presumed innocent until proven otherwise, we are deeply concerned by these charges, particularly the misuse of taxpayer dollars, and will cooperate fully with the investigation to ensure accountability."
How Queer Works got public funds
Part of the reason city officials felt comfortable distributing funds to Queer Works was the support of DAP Health, a far larger and older health-oriented nonprofit organization.
DAP initially advocated for the program alongside Queer Works, using its reputation in the community to bolster the chance of receiving city funding. The city at first granted both Queer Works and DAP Health $200,000 to run the program. The two organizations later returned to the city to ask for an additional $500,000 to be used as matching funds for a state grant.
In May 2022, both DAP Health and Queer Works signed an agreement which committed them to maintaining financial records of the program for three years. However, DAP Health officials have pointed to an October 2022 amendment to the agreement authorizing the $500,000 city payment, which is only signed by Queer Works. DAP argues because they are not a signatory to the amendment, DAP's involvement with the program ended at that time.
DAP Health has not been accused of wrongdoing and has taken over administration of the guaranteed income program, using its own funds.
The California Department of Public Health has also recently distributed funds to Queer Works. CDPH awarded Queer Works a $500,000 grant for gender affirming care in September 2023, beginning quarterly payments in February of this year. In a recent email to The Desert Sun, Rostovsky said all funds from CDPH were used appropriately, but he did not provide details when asked.
The indictment does not allege any misuse of the CDPH funds.
In total, CDPH gave $153,864.14 to Queer Works, stopping payments on June 30. CDPH initially said payments ceased at the request of Queer Works. But after a story in The Desert Sun published earlier this week, the agency provided more details.
"Upon learning in July 2024 of the local investigation into Queer Works’ use of public funding, CDPH staff reached out to the organization and was notified it wished to terminate its grant agreement with CDPH as of July 1, 2024. No additional funds were issued," the CDPH Office of Communications said in a statement to The Desert Sun. "While an initial analysis of progress reports provided to CDPH by Queer Works revealed no inconsistencies in their expenditures related to their grant agreement with CDPH, the Department is in the process of determining whether additional actions are required."

remuneration
Part of speech: Noun. (Verb form is "to remunerate")
Pronunciation: "rih-moo-ner-RAY-shun" or "ree-myoo-ner-RAY-shun"
Meaning: a formal word that refers to an amount of money paid to someone for a service, loss, or expense, or to the act of paying such an amount.
Synonyms: compensation, disbursement, giving, paying, payment, recompense, remitment, remittance
In a sentence: The actor was offered a modest speaking fee by the host as remuneration for giving her speech at the awards ceremony.
History: c. 1400, remuneracioun, "reward, recompense, payment," from Old French remuneracion and directly from Latin remunerationem (nominative remuneratio) "a repaying, recompense," noun of action from past-participle stem of remunerari "to pay, reward," from re- "back" (see re-) + munerari "to give," from munus (genitive muneris) "gift, office, duty" (see municipal).
Trivia: Our evidence shows remuneration to be most at home in writing that concerns financial matters, especially when large amounts of money or forms of compensation are involved. Whether it's because money is often expressed in numerals, or simply because the n and m are adjacent to each other on our keyboards, reMUNeration often appears misspelled as reNUMeration. It pays to know, however, that in fact, renumeration is a distinct term, a rare word meaning "the act of enumerating again" (enumerate means "to list" or "to count").
From Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day, 25 June 2024
