Multiple accounts can be utilized for easy payments, and the app offers various payment options for transactions to beneficiaries in different countries and currencies, including local bank transfers and SWIFT transfers. Users can track their payment history and view transaction details. The app also includes a currency converter tool and allows users to invest in the top U.S. stocks.
