Case Study: Younique achieves $1M in FX savings and streamlines global operations with Tipalti

Younique Streamlines Global Operations & Currency Management

Younique, a direct‑sales beauty company based in Lehi, UT, faced growing pains as international expansion exposed inefficient, manual finance processes. The finance team was spending time on bank‑to‑bank transfers and manual wire uploads, paying suppliers in the wrong currency, and incurring higher merchant processing fees (about 1.4%), which risked adding headcount to manage FX errors and reconciliation.

Implementing Tipalti centralized foreign‑exchange transactions and consolidated multiple accounts, automating accounts payable and receipt matching. The result: $1,000,000 saved on currency transaction fees, reduced merchant processing and FX repatriation costs, streamlined reporting with real‑time visibility, elimination of manual reconciliation and overpayments, and a leaner back office that lets the finance team focus on strategic work and Younique’s mission.
