About this report
Fintechs’ digital solutions are changing the business-to-business payments space. As new technology emerges and modern upgrades to legacy systems provide better user experiences, businesses have an expanding array of choices for more effective and efficient business-to-business (B2B) payments. The influence of financial technology companies (fintechs) on the B2B space is growing and filling in the payments gaps as usage of paper payments starts to fade away.
