PAYMENTS
Not currently scheduled.
Introduction
The B2B domain is enormous – huge transaction volume and mind-boggling value. Yet this critical area of payments is perhaps the least well-served domain in the industry. What does that translate into? Big opportunities for payments providers.
Why are paper payments (or woefully outdated and inefficient electronic payments) so dominant in this world? Who is on the right track to capitalize on these opportunities? Who is at risk? Come find out.
“There’s been a resurgence of interest and investment in the B2B space – much of it capitalizing on APIs to embed payment into enterprise solutions, clever use of card infrastructure, and the advent of ‘faster payment’ overseas and in the U.S.”
