+## How Global Payouts Offer Transparency and Save You Money
+
+A common issue that non-profits encounter when using traditional banking to fund money overseas is that most of these platforms require them to pay fees to access to some or all of their services and to make transactions.  For example, [nonprofits spend around $3 billion a year on transaction fees](https://www.zeffy.com/blog/nonprofits-paid-2-billion-in-transaction-fees-last-year). In other words, traditional banking platforms are too expensive.  Unlike traditional banks, global payout platforms provide transparent and affordable payment rates, with clearly disclosed fees. This makes it easier for nonprofits to plan and budget their funding.  Chimoney was started by [Uchi Uchibeke after struggling to send winners the prize money for AfriHacks, a hackathon they were hosting due to the traditional banking platform fees being expensive](https://chimoney.io/blogs/techstars-backs-chimoney-to-revolutionize-global-payouts/).
