Why your FX rate might be quietly costing you thousands

Been seeing this come up a lot in conversations with founders lately, people sending international payments have no easy way to check if the rate they're getting is actually fair, and a lot of the markup just gets buried in the transfer.

My team's been building worldesk.ai to fix that. It's free, no sign-up needed, you just check your rate against the market rate before committing to a transfer. With how volatile currency markets have been, that gap can add up fast if you're not paying attention.

We've also got an FX specialist on the team you can talk to directly if you're thinking through hedging or timing a transfer.

Would love to hear if this is something people here have run into, happy to answer questions if anyone's dealing with FX stuff on international payments.
