FAQs

Making international business payments should be simple. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for here, contact us

What industries does Ascendant serve?

Ascendant serves a wide range of industries, including financial institutions, technology, SaaS, manufacturing, food and beverage, agriculture, relocation, and logistics. We tailor our solutions to each sector’s unique needs.

What makes Ascendant different from my bank or other payment providers?

We’re not a bank, and we’re definitely not one-size-fits-all. Ascendant automates cross-border payments, cuts your admin costs, and offers real, human support – so you can move money globally without the usual hassle or high fees.

Can I see a live demo or speak to a payments expert before signing up?

Book a live demo with our team and see how Ascendant fits your workflows. You’ll get straight answers from a real expert—no sales scripts, no pressure.

Do I need to commit to minimum payment volumes or long-term contracts to use Ascendant?

No, we don’t require any minimum payment volumes or time commitments. You have complete flexibility to use our services as much or as little as your business needs, with no long-term contracts or volume thresholds. This way, you get all the benefits of a global payments partner—without being locked in.

What level of support do I get as a customer?

Every Ascendant client is assigned a dedicated payments specialist. You’ll get fast responses, hands-on support, and proactive advice from someone who understands your business. You will have a dedicated account contact on our team who you can call directly for anything. No need to call a call centre. No waiting on hold, ever.

How secure is Ascendant’s platform?

We are regulated and SOC 2 Type 2 certified, with encrypted data storage, multi-factor authentication, and regular regulatory audits to ensure your information—and your money—are protected every step of the way. Our Payee Intelligence™ engine validates all international payment data before funds are sent. We also help you manage GDPR, OFAC, and AML requirements.

Can Ascendant integrate with my ERP or finance tools?

Yes. We support direct integrations with ERPs like NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and QuickBooks. Our APIs and file-upload workflows fit right into your finance ops stack—without requiring IT resources or months of setup time, and without disrupting your existing tools. You can be up and running quickly, with no heavy lift for your team.

How do finance teams track real-time payment status for vendors?

Ascendant’s Track 360° offers real-time vendor payment tracking, similar to a package tracking system. You and your vendors always know where a payment is, reducing support tickets and improving transparency.

What are the typical fees for international payments?

We believe in full transparency—no hidden fees, no surprises. With Ascendant, you get competitive, straightforward pricing that’s often lower than what banks charge. You’ll always see any costs upfront before a payment is processed. Our rates depend on the payment type, currency, and destination, but most clients save significantly compared to traditional providers. If you want a custom quote or want to compare your current costs, just ask—we’re happy to walk you through the numbers.

How fast can I get started with Ascendant?

If you want instant access, you can be live in as little as two days using our online portal, aPay. If you need API or file-based integration, we can get you fully up and running in just 2–4 weeks— from initial setup to sandbox testing, and onboarding. We take care of the heavy lifting and keep things moving, so there’s no wasted time waiting around or endless back-and-forth.
