The IT industry is one of the most globally-connected in the world, facilitating the import and export of goods and hardware, as well as the development of software and technology to be implemented across the industry.

As such, many businesses within the IT sector are heavily reliant on the currency markets and on making international payments.

How currency exchange can affect the IT industry

Many of the world’s leading suppliers of IT goods and components are based in Asia and mainland Europe, and often require immediate payment in USD. This requirement can present an added cost for businesses and make them vulnerable to any fluctuation within the market.

In addition, software developers based in Romania can expect to field a number of contracts with international companies, receiving payment in US dollars and euros on a regular basis. With high-street banks typically charging transfer fees for overseas payments, organisations may be paying significant costs for currency conversion.
