The COVID-19 pandemic came with unprecedented economic turmoil. Thankfully, we had borderless transactions and cryptocurrencies to turn to as our local currencies crashed and lost value. Borderless transactions kept the world economy moving at a period full of uncertainty.
What is a borderless transaction?
A borderless transaction is a sales exchange between two or more parties from different countries which are free from actions specifically designed to hinder international trade such as tariff barriers, currency restrictions, and import quotas.
CORONA taught us the importance of borderless transactions when lockdowns were effected and we still needed to send money to people in different parts of the world without leaving our houses. If you have relatives in different parts of the world, I’m sure that you appreciated Cryptocurrencies a great deal during the pandemic.
For those of us who don’t have relatives in other countries and are wondering how you could benefit from borderless transactions. Hopefully, by the time you are done with this article, you will understand why borderless transactions are crucial.
Why do people send money across borders?
- To send financial support to their children who live in a different country
- To pay for the medical expenses of relatives in another country
- To pay bills for property owned abroad
- To for international investments
- To purchase products from exporters abroad
- To end financial support to friends and family in different countries

For example, selling beadwork in Africa is not as lucrative as selling beadwork abroad; this is because it is a rare commodity abroad. Buyers can then compare beadworks from different localities and settle on the most qualified option.
- Global cohesion (world peace and unity). People generally tend to conduct business with people they like, trust, and respect. Imagine the kind of world where people from different countries like, trust and respect each other.
- Higher standards of living. People who would otherwise never get the opportunity to sell their products get to set favorable prices and gain exposure to a world of limitless opportunities.
- Lower costs of products. Since people focus on what they are good at, the overhead costs are reduced which further reduced the price of the final commodity.
