International business is a very important segment of companies dealing with foreign trade and the use of foreign payments in international business. Financial indicators represent a very important tool of company management, which can be used to easily determine how the company operates through different types of indicators. The aim of this paper is to determine the actual impact of certain types of payment instruments in international business on the company's financial indicators and to review how certain aspects of the company affect changes in the relationship between the instruments. In the second and third theoretical chapters of the paper, secondary sources of data were used, which helped in defining the form of payment instruments in international trade and all types of financial indicators. In the research part of the fourth chapter, primary sources of data were used in the form of a survey questionnaire where companies answered open-ended questions and the questions were composed according to the Likert scale. The research showed that for almost all companies, foreign payments do not make up a large part of short-term liabilities and that foreign payments have very little impact on financial indicators in the surveyed companies. Bank transfer was marked as by far the most used form of payment, which all companies stated that they primarily use. The companies stated that the bill of exchange is the least frequently used payment instrument and they all answered that the bill of exchange is very rarely used in international business. The greatest impact is on activity indicators, where 25% of companies stated that their activity increases through the use of foreign payments, while the least impact of foreign payments is on the financial indicators of indebtedness, economy and profitability, where all surveyed companies answered that they do not change.
