Bongo International relaunched as FedEx CrossBorder

FedEx Trade Networks has re-launched Bongo International as FedEx CrossBorder. FedEx said that the relaunch highlights its investment in expanding its international e-commerce offerings.

Bongo International was bought by FedEx in 2014.

FedEx CrossBorder provides e-commerce technology solutions that enable e-tailers to navigate common cross-border selling challenges —such as regulatory compliance, secure payment processing, multi-currency pricing, or credit card fraud protection— and offers access to e-commerce shoppers around the globe.

James R. Muhs, president and CEO, FedEx Trade Networks, said: “FedEx CrossBorder expands the FedEx portfolio and provides e-tailers with opportunities to ship locally and grow internationally. E-tailers ship their orders to one of our domestic locations, and FedEx CrossBorder gets the orders to the customers’ international destinations.”

FedEx CrossBorder e-commerce solutions can work within a business’ existing website and shopping cart platform.

“Only about one-third of U.S. based global e-commerce sites accept foreign currencies, and research tells us that customers are more likely to abandon shopping carts that only show U.S. dollar pricing,” said Chip Hull, vice president, FedEx CrossBorder.

“FedEx CrossBorder addresses international purchasing obstacles with a seamless checkout and delivery approach that accepts over 80 currencies, provides 15 payment options, manages multiple delivery options, and offers credit card fraud protection, all through a single platform.”
