PayWireCheck: Cross-border payment tracker

Gives small studios a clear view of which international wire arrived, bounced, or lost fees

Problem

A games studio finance person manually files 30 international wire transfers every month. The bank portal doesn't retain beneficiary details, so every entry is retyped. This month 3 bounced, two with no reason given, and one arrived a week later minus bank fees after the contractor had already been told he was paid.

Solution

Extract wire records from bank CSV exports or screenshots, auto-match payees to contracts, track each status, flag 'not arrived', 'bounced', and 'unexpected fee'. Generate draft emails to chase the bank and store beneficiary details for one-click reuse.

Users

Finance and ops people at small game studios, design firms, and agencies paying 10-50 international contractors.

MVP

Manual or CSV import of wire records; payee-to-contract matching; status dashboard (initiated/arrived/bounced/delayed); anomaly alerts and email templates; beneficiary address book.

Revenue

Monthly subscription tiered by number of managed payees; or annual one-time license for small studios.

Why now

Remote teams and cross-border freelancers are growing, but bank portals have barely improved. Small teams still reconcile with spreadsheets and eyeballs, so a lightweight tracker has real demand.
