Businesses, collaborating across borders

The OPMW International Consortium

OPMW is a consortium of businesses that collaborate with each other to run their international operations more efficiently - with the reach and trust that come from working as a network as opposed to alone.

Stronger together than apart

OPMW brings together businesses that regularly send and receive payments across borders. As a member you collaborate with a trusted, international network — and gain access to ways of meeting your obligations that a single business, acting on its own, simply doesn't have.

How those advantages work in practice is something we walk through with members directly.

What is the OPMW Corporate Consortium?

Large multinationals have long used in-house treasury teams to cancel out what they owe each other across borders; a practice called netting. Most companies are too small to do this on their own.

The OPMW Corporate Consortium makes this technique available to its members. Companies submit upcoming cross-border payments, and OPMW matches them against other members sending money the other way. Each company settles the payments locally.

The result: members get the same savings as large multinationals, without the scale or infrastructure it normally takes.

How it works

A vetted network

Collaborate with international members, each admitted by application and reference.

Settle as a network

Meet your cross-border obligations with the efficiency that comes from working together, not in isolation.

Verified & supervised

Payments are verified bank-to-bank on both sides, and every settlement is overseen by OPMW.
