Mastercard and Previse announced the integration of Mastercard Cross-Border Services ? a global push payments platform that enables funds to be sent seamlessly, securely and with certainty to any account ? into Previse?s InstantPay platform. The collaboration will enable instant payments to suppliers in over 100 markets globally. In today?s environment, cash flow is critical ? particularly for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Over one third of SMBs in North America report facing cash flow issues due to late payments and slow processing times for cash and checks1. Globally, many businesses also lack streamlined ways to receive payments in their local currency when dealing with customers in multiple markets. This forces them to borrow money at expensive rates to support cash flow, while they wait for payment on outstanding invoices. Using the latest advances in machine learning, Previse?s InstantPay solution analyzes invoices to identify those that are likely to be rejected, enabling the rest to be paid the same day they?re received. With the integration of Mastercard?s Cross-Border Services, companies using InstantPay can now send digital payments seamlessly and securely to suppliers in over 100 counties via bank accounts and digital wallets. In addition to paying suppliers quickly, business can reduce the cost of transactions and access real-time exchange rates for local currency, while reducing the need for additional documents and manual processes.
