Unfair Pricing and High Fees

It’s frustrating to send a payment only to find out the recipient got less than expected. Hidden charges and currency markups quietly chip away at the total—creating confusion and throwing off budgets. 

Slow Payment Execution and Delays 

Waiting days (or even weeks) for a payment to land just doesn’t cut it anymore. These delays slow down production, hold up projects, and strain relationships with international partners. 

Limited Transaction Visibility and Complexity 

Once the money’s sent, it’s often a guessing game. Trying to track payments through outdated systems and disconnected channels leaves teams guessing and stressed. 

Risk of Payment Defaults and Insolvencies 

A late payment isn’t just an inconvenience—it can trigger a chain reaction. For global trade, even a small delay can put entire partnerships or supply chains at risk. 

Manual, Labor-Intensive Processing 

Too many steps. Too many people. Payment processes still rely heavily on manual work, slowing things down and piling pressure on already stretched teams.

Numbers Don’t Lie: The Data Behind the Friction

Slow Payment Execution and Delays

Cross-border B2B payments can still take up to 30 days or more to clear. While digital transformation has sped up B2C payments, many businesses remain trapped in a legacy system. It’s a growing concern: 

  • Nearly 47% of suppliers report receiving payments late. 
  • 30% of mid-sized businesses experience disruptions due to delayed settlements. 

Increased Default Risks

  • 60% of businesses have noticed worsening B2B payment behavior. 
  • 57% of credit-based sales are overdue. 
  • 62% expect higher insolvency risks among their partners in the coming year. 

Manual Processing = Hidden Cost Center

Automation remains limited in accounts payable systems. In fact, 62% of payment processing costs come from labor. Multiple stakeholders, disconnected tools, and manual approvals are slowing down what should be a fast, seamless process.

Why the Shift to Better Payment Infrastructure Is Urgent
