Much of Gibraltar’s transfer work is cross-border: Málaga airport runs, cruise passengers and business visitors to the online-gaming and financial-services firms based on the Rock.

Gibraltar is on Stripe’s list of supported countries and on Airwallex’s list. PayPal does not accept GIP, so a company operating in GIP connects Stripe or Airwallex.
