BRISKPE vs. Tazapay: The Smarter Way to Receive Global Payments

Expanding internationally is no longer optional for Indian freelancers, agencies, and exporters; it’s survival. The problem is, while finding clients overseas is easier than ever, getting paid is still painful. Traditional banks eat into margins with 3–5% charges, settlement delays stretch for weeks, and compliance paperwork like FIRA is a constant chase. That’s where platforms like Tazapay and BRISKPE come in. Both promise to simplify global payments, but if you’re an India-based business trying to maximize what you keep, the differences are huge.

What this really means is: the wrong choice doesn’t just cost you money, it costs you growth. Every percentage lost to hidden forex spreads or slow payouts is budget you could have reinvested into talent, ads, or expansion. So let’s break down how these two platforms stack up and why BRISKPE is proving more efficient for Indian exporters and service providers.

Tazapay: Global Coverage with Extra Costs

Tazapay started as a global payments and escrow solution, mainly catering to businesses engaged in international trade. Its strength lies in providing trust between buyers and sellers across borders. For example, a Singapore buyer can pay into Tazapay’s escrow account, and the seller in India receives funds once the goods are delivered. This reduces risk in cross-border trade and makes Tazapay popular with B2B platforms and marketplaces.

Tazapay also offers global collections through local rails in over 173 countries. Businesses can accept payments from clients abroad via cards, bank transfers, or local payment options. However, when it comes to receiving money in India, the process can involve variable fees, card processing charges, and standard settlement timelines that are not always optimized for Indian exporters. Compliance documents like FIRA are available, but usually on request and not instantly automated.

How Tazapay Works

  • Fees:
    • Non-card payments: 0.8%–2.5% per transaction
    • Card payments: 3.8% + $0.50 per transaction
    • Extra charges like a $4 FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) for every inward transfer
  • FX: Competitive, but not free of markup.
  • Tools: Beyond payments, it offers fraud detection, KYC/AML checks, and escrow services; good for higher-risk or international marketplaces.
  • Coverage: Accepts payments in 173+ countries, with payouts in multiple currencies.

BRISKPE:

BRISKPE was designed around the very problems Indian businesses face when receiving international payments. 

How BRISKPE Works

  • Flat Fee: Standard 0.75% + GST for all inward remittances.
  • No FX Markup: Uses live interbank rates, so you don’t lose money on exchange spreads.
  • Free Compliance Docs: Every transaction auto-generates e-FIRA & e-BRC digitally at no extra cost.
  • Speed: Settlements hit your bank account in T+1 working day.
  • High-Volume Edge: For monthly volumes above $100,000, fees drop to 0.2% with custom quotes for larger enterprises.

This “India-first” approach is why it’s gaining traction with agencies and exporters who can’t afford to bleed margins on avoidable costs.

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Freelancer Receiving $1,000

  • Tazapay:
    • 1.5% fee = $15
    • FX markup = $5
    • FIRC = $4
    • Net received = $976
  • BRISKPE:
    • 0.75% fee = $7.50
    • FX markup = $0
    • FIRA = Free
    • Net received = $992.50

Difference: $16.50 saved on a single $1,000 payment. For a freelancer invoicing 10 clients a month, that’s $165 more in the bank just from switching platforms.

Example 2: Exporter Handling $100,000 Monthly Volume

  • Tazapay (at 1% average total cost):
    • Fees = $1,000
    • FIRC (assume 20 transactions): $80
    • Total = $1,080
  • BRISKPE (0.2% high-volume tier):
    • Fees = $200
    • FIRA = Free
    • Total = $200

That’s an $880 savings every single month, or $10,560 per year. Enough to cover an employee’s salary purely by avoiding hidden charges.

Where BRISKPE Shows Its Efficiency

  1. Cost Transparency: What you see is what you pay. No hidden FX spreads or compliance add-ons.
  2. Time Saved: Automatic compliance docs mean no extra paperwork, no waiting on banks.
  3. Faster Cash Flow: Quicker settlements mean money in your account sooner, keeping working capital healthy.
  4. High-Volume Advantage: The 0.2% tier pricing is unmatched for exporters scaling globally.

Conclusion

If you sell physical goods globally and rely on escrow for buyer protection, Tazapay has its place. But if your priority is keeping more of your international earnings in your pocket, whether you’re a freelancer, SaaS founder, or exporter BRISKPE is built for you. Transparent pricing, live forex rates, instant FIRAs, and fast settlements mean less leakage and more growth.

When global competition is only getting tougher, losing 2–3% on every invoice isn’t sustainable. BRISKPE prevents that, making sure your hard-earned international revenue works harder for you, not the middlemen.
