## Source summary

Digital Transactions' August 7 brief reports two cross-border launches: Bercor introduced Bercor Pay, a U.S.-dollar Visa card for international payments that can be loaded into Apple Pay and Google Pay; and BMI Companies began using Acclaim to make international insurance-claim payments in more than 35 countries, replacing SWIFT wire transfers. The same brief also covers several unrelated domestic payment-company updates.

## Why it matters

The brief shows two different attempts to reduce cross-border payment friction: a consumer card and wallet interface for international spending, and an insurance-claims payout workflow replacing SWIFT wires across more than 35 countries. It does not disclose supported corridors, FX rates, fees, transaction volume, launch scale or measured speed and cost improvement, so both items remain early product signals rather than proven operating outcomes.

## Key numbers

- **Countries in BMI Companies' international claims-payment rollout:** more than 35
