Trust is the foundation of every financial relationship yet in global banking, it’s also one of the hardest things to earn. For decades, banks have profited from opaque pricing models that hide markups behind confusing exchange rates and service fees. Today, fintech platforms like Easykonto are rewriting that story by making transparency a feature, not an afterthought.
The Problem With Hidden Margins
When traditional banks advertise “no transfer fees” or “competitive exchange rates,” they’re often leaving out the real cost the hidden FX spread. Instead of charging you directly, banks take their profit by inflating the exchange rate by 2–3% above the mid-market rate. That means if your business sends €100,000 abroad, you could be losing €2,000 or more without ever seeing a line item for it.
This invisible pricing model erodes trust. Clients start to question whether their financial provider is truly working in their best interest or simply profiting off their lack of visibility. In a world where businesses operate across borders daily, that opacity is no longer acceptable.
The Fintech Alternative: Radical Transparency
Modern fintechs like Easykonto are built on a different philosophy: transparency drives loyalty. Instead of hiding margins, we show every detail upfront. Every transaction in your Easykonto dashboard clearly displays:
- The live mid-market rate from global liquidity providers
- The exact timestamp of your FX conversion
- A flat transaction fee that never changes with volume or currency type
No surprises, no hidden spreads just a straightforward breakdown of what you pay and what you get.
How Flat Fees Simplify Global Finance
Flat fees may sound simple, but they have a powerful psychological impact. They replace uncertainty with predictability. When businesses know exactly what each transaction will cost, they can budget confidently, price accurately, and plan global growth without worrying about fluctuating margins.
At Easykonto, we’ve designed our pricing model around this principle. Whether you’re converting €10,000 or €1 million, your FX cost stays consistent so your focus stays on growth, not guessing games.
Transparency Builds Long-Term Relationships
When customers see real rates and fair fees, they don’t just save money — they gain peace of mind. That peace of mind is the ultimate driver of loyalty. Transparent pricing doesn’t just reduce friction; it creates alignment between fintechs and their users. Instead of feeling like a cost center, your financial provider becomes a partner invested in your success.
