What’s more, consumers who use their smartphones while shopping in-store visit them more often than consumers who don’t. As much as 81.5 percent of consumers who do say they visit brick-and-mortar shops every day or every week.

Businesses of a certain size — and in industries as varied as construction and restaurants — know the pain of wondering if they will have enough capital to fund operations, inventory, expansion and other mission-critical business activities. They know the uncertainty of going to traditional financial institutions (FIs), even those rooted in their communities, that might not want to take on the risks or economics of extending smaller lines of credit to small businesses (SMBs), with fortunes that

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change lives, literally – aiding in the detection of diseases, for example – while in commerce, it has the potential to stop bad transactions. We’re getting there, but bringing AI into everyday life is an evolutionary process that differs markedly from the breathless portrayals in the movies, where the rise of sentient computers and robots bodes well, or ill, for humanity, depending on what you’re watching.

Our 2025 Center Travel Survey is clear: as corporate travel increases, so does corporate credit cards distribution, and a rise in off-platform travel booking.

To evolve with the ever-changing needs of travelers, decision-makers need a better solution.

B2B payments are mired in delays, in errors, in an imbalance in funds flow and credit terms. Simply put, buyers stretch out payments and suppliers play the waiting game – at least as well as it can be played with checks and cards. The result is a cash flow crunch. Access to financing (trade finance, that is), especially online, can level the playing field a bit.

The news last Friday that Facebook has plans to launch its own global crypto-based payments rails is déjà vu all over again. Déjà vu because it was 10 years ago, in May of 2009, that Facebook launched the alpha version of Facebook Credits. Credits was a virtual currency and payments platform used to power in-app purchases on Facebook. It shut down in 2012, 15 months after its official launch.

The path to the payments deal started about three or four years ago when Adam Bloomston, CEO of Payscape , and Thomas Nitopi, CEO and founder of NXGEN , first met.

Accounts payable operations are essential to ensuring that payments to a firm’s partners and suppliers are processed and delivered on time. These processes prevent companies from missing payments and running the risk of souring business relationships and hurting their partners’ bottom lines in the process. However, despite their importance to keeping businesses afloat, old school practices like physical paperwork are still the norm for many AP departments.
