The buy now, pay later business is one of the last big markets to be truly cracked. Although huge amounts of money have been raised from multiple players, no player has established themselves as the leader in BNPL solutions. Not yet.
With every business operating within different processes and parameters, spending time managing, and severely constrained cash flow, business payments remain broken. By seamlessly digitizing manuals, , there is a trillion dollar opportunity to fix B2B payments across the UK and internationally.
Sinead Fitzmaurice CEO of a B2B payment technology company, transfer matereflects Straathof’s view of spotlighting the development of B2B payments.
she said:
Now that business is starting to catch up, in 2022 TransferMate is witnessing a surge of companies and partners looking to modernize their systems and create the same push-button experience as demand rises for built-in B2B payment infrastructure. Did.”
We will also focus on payment trends in 2022. Brian CoburnCEO of a payment orchestration company BR-DGE. In 2018, he founded BR-DGE with a mission to push the boundaries of payment technology and create an independent payment orchestration platform that is easy to integrate and adopt.
Coburn commented: Adoption of BNPL continues to grow, especially for retail purchases, fueled by the macroeconomic downturn where consumers are likely to want to spread the cost of their purchases over a longer period of time.
However, this is consistent with the traction gained by open banking this year, with studies projecting that there will be up to 40 million users of the technology within the UK by 2025. Zopa. New innovations are rapidly becoming an important part of the payments landscape as customers demand a frictionless payment experience and merchants recognize the value of providing more choice and flexibility.
Furthermore, the role of payments in forging strong ties between merchants and consumers is becoming increasingly clear during this time of continued economic uncertainty. In the industry, merchants are increasingly aware of the risk of lost revenue from inefficient payment systems and the risk of fraudulent activity that erodes customer trust. We are driving investment in payment solutions that build loyalty.
for Pat BirminghamCEO of a B2B payment service provider adflex, Many of the biggest trends for 2022 are influenced by the economic uncertainty we all face.

Fintech has been somewhat trapped in the bubble economy in recent years. The industry often outperforms other sectors in terms of growth and employment rates. We have seen many new innovations enter mainstream financial services, such as pay later, real-time cross-border payments, and open banking.
However, in the face of macroeconomic challenges such as the conflict in Ukraine and supply chain shortages, fintechs are moving away from new projects and beta testing to focus on proven solutions that can be implemented quickly and deliver a return on investment. That is why the adoption of real-time, frictionless payments continues to grow.
Businesses have discovered that faster, cost-effective and efficient payment infrastructures can offset financial pressures and ensure better cash flow management, which is essential in uncertain times. This year, modern payments are seen as a platform for growth rather than cost savings, and we expect this to continue in 2023.
