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.

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.

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.

Many countries around the world are rolling out instant payments schemes that bring speed and convenience to payments made within their own borders. Unfortunately, those benefits are often limited when it comes to cross-border payments. A London-based manufacturer can’t rely on the U.K.’s Faster Payments Service (FPS) to quickly shuttle funds to a supplier in Canberra, Australia, for example.
