International Payments for NGOs and humanitarian organisations
Excessive banking fees, account closures, restrictions on certain countries... Devyzz helps NGOs maximise the impact of every international transfer.
The challenges faced by NGOs and humanitarian organisations
🔴 Accounts frozen without prior notice
Banks and neobanks often rely on automated monitoring systems that are ill-suited to humanitarian transactions. The result: repeated account freezes, endless requests for supporting documentation, and no dedicated point of contact when you need assistance most.
💸 Banking fees that reduce the impact of every donation
With a traditional bank, you can expect a 1% to 3% margin on the exchange rate, in addition to fees on each transfer. On €1 million of annual payments, that can mean up to €30,000 failing to reach your beneficiaries.
🌍 Restrictions on your areas of operation
Mali, Bangladesh, Lebanon, DRC, Ethiopia... Humanitarian destinations are often classified as high-risk by financial institutions, even for perfectly legitimate transactions.
📖 Why banks freeze NGO accounts, and how to avoid it
Our complete guide to the causes of account freezes, their operational impact, and how to choose the right financial partner.

At Devyzz, we understand your specific challenges and offer tailored solutions to maximise the efficiency of your financial operations.
Dedicated onboarding for the humanitarian sector
We take the time to understand your funding model, sources of funds, and typical destinations before your first transaction. This upfront work eliminates the vast majority of account freezes.
Pricing conditions that maximise the impact of every donation
Our exchange rate margins are significantly lower than those of traditional banks. Every euro saved in banking fees is a euro more on the ground.
A human contact, not an algorithm
Each NGO has a dedicated account manager who can be contacted directly. When an unusual transaction occurs, it is reviewed by someone who understands your organisation, rather than being automatically blocked.
" For an NGO where every euro must go as far as possible on the ground, the additional cost of traditional bank transfers is structurally unacceptable. "
