The Cloud is Disrupting Global Payments – Finally!

Businesses owners:  are you one of the many companies that now is making payments to international suppliers?  Remember the days of driving to your bank, filling out a three-copy form (which you needed to press hard on), and then waiting in line to talk with a teller? All of that just to pay an invoice from an international supplier. You remember like it was yesterday, because guess what -- it was yesterday! Not much has changed since the days of “Mad Men” when it comes to making international payments through your bank. You can still go to the Western Union at your grocery store, where the service only takes 10 percent of the payment to send money overseas.

You’re either laughing right now or crying.

We are in the twenty-first century, but banking services are still partying like it’s 1999. Are you ready for financial apps to catch up?

The Business Payment Cloud is Legit

These days everyone is talking about the cloud. Well, the cloud is real, and it’s ushering in a new wave of capabilities. Cloud software runs in a web browser or on a mobile phone, which means users have instant access to data and functionality. Business owners can schedule payments from their phone while watching TV, and cloud-based apps send notifications when a vendor is paid. No more “the check’s in the mail” excuses. Business payment cloud apps allows users to get paid in a predictable and trackable manner.

The last frontier of digital business payments has always been paying international vendors in their local currencies. Not everyone takes greenback dollars as payment, and many of these global currencies don’t even have keys on your keyboard! Welcome to the world of the pound (£), the euro (€) and the Yuan (¥)!
