How we think about and interact with healthcare services has altered dramatically. New virtual services, biotechnology and smart devices are at the heart of a global revolution in healthcare.

With increased international opportunities as nations seek innovation to address pressing health challenges, there is an increasing need for healthcare companies to protect their profits and mitigate their foreign exchange risk.

How international payments can affect the healthcare industry

With exports, imports and an international workforce, the healthcare industry is global. Supply chain partners and international offices to adhere to local regulatory requirements add to the reasons why the healthcare industry has a growing need for transferring money from pounds to foreign currencies.

All of these payments, particularly recurring outlays such as rent and payroll for an overseas office, can incur significant costs if a poor exchange rate is agreed. Costly transfer fees from banks and FX providers can damage your profits but by working with a specialist and planning all your foreign exchange exposure and budgets well in advance, you can help to protect your margins.

What about Brexit?

With Brexit on the horizon, further change to the industry is on the way. From changes to overseas staff recruitment to new import/export, regulatory and data protection requirements, companies may be facing increased costs.
