Use case
Epic Slope Partners works on projects with SaaS and AI companies across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Every month it receives several client payments in multiple currencies, ranging from a few thousand dollars to larger project milestones, and converts them into INR to run the business. With clients spread across so many regions, the team needed one way to get paid that was predictable in cost and timing, easy for every client regardless of location, and simple on the compliance side.
Problem summary
Before Xflow, Epic Slope received international payments into its bank account through SWIFT wires. Each transfer came with a significant FX markup over the mid-market rate, which the team only discovered after the money landed. Intermediary banks often deducted high transaction fees along the way, so the amount credited rarely matched the invoice. Reconciling those gaps took hours each month and made cash flow harder to plan. Payments took three to four business days to settle, and getting the FIRA for each transaction meant repeated follow-ups with the bank. As the client base grew, these costs were quietly eating into their margins on every project.
Why Xflow
Epic Slope switched to Xflow for transparent pricing and a smoother payment experience for its clients. The experience with the Xflow team stood out just as much. Onboarding took less than a day, and the Xflow team supported Epic Slope through all their compliance related needs.
Results
Since moving to Xflow, Epic Slope has cut its cost of receiving international payments by 40%. Most of that comes from eliminating hidden FX markups and intermediary charges. Settlements that used to take three to four days now typically land the same day. The team has also cut monthly reconciliation time by more than 80%, since invoice amounts, credited amounts, and compliance documents now line up proactively.

“Getting paid by international clients used to come with a lot of guesswork: what rate we'd get, what would be deducted, and when the money would actually land. With Xflow, we know all of that upfront. We've saved a meaningful amount on every payment, and our team no longer spends hours reconciling at the end of the month.”
