About 98% of global B2B transactions are via wire transfer and bank-to-bank

Credit and debit cards are common for cross-border sales under $200, and on a USD volume basis.

But manufacturers that do accept foreign credit cards must charge far higher prices, to recover chargebacks from fraudulent buyers.
