How many times has your Finance team seen the word “processing” on their laptop screens this week? Instant payments, both via The Clearing House’s RTP (Real-Time Payment) Network and the Federal Reserve’s 24/7/365 FedNow Service, are poised to change that. Imagine that a key piece of your business’s equipment has broken down. You need to […]

Can your tech stack support instant payments?

75% of small businesses aren’t trying to secure financing these days

Most businesses think we’re already in a recession or it’s coming early this fall. The good news is, most are fairly confident they’ll survive it. There’s just one major catch.

FedNow is live for financial institutions! What does it mean for A/P?

On July 20, the Federal Reserve announced the FedNow Service, a 24/7/365, instant payments system, is officially live. Touted as the biggest upgrade to the U.S. payments system in 50 years, FedNow looks like it’s going to be more than just a new rail for B2B and B2C payments.

Keep cash out of the banks? Why companies are shifting resources elsewhere

FedNow launch is just weeks away: Is Finance ready to process more real-time payments?

Compared to the rest of the world, the U.S. has lagged behind in rapid B2B payments technology, but that’s about to change. The Federal Reserve’s FedNow service is coming soon!

Time to start talking to banking partners, staffers and vendors

How often do you update financial institution directories? Here’s what Nacha recommends

To keep your ACH payments flowing smoothly, Nacha advises businesses to update financial institution routing number validation tables at least monthly.

The FDIC takeover of Santa Clara, CA-based Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which news reports described as the worst bank failure since 2008 and the second worst in U.S. history, had quite a few of your peers weighing in about it on LinkedIn. Unless you’re in the tech sector, you might not have heard of SVB […]
