PayPoint plc Issues Call to Arms Over Confirmation of Payee Aggregator Deadline Jo Toolan, Managing Director, Payments at PayPoint, said: “Firms that are yet to take action over the engagement of a CoP aggregator, ahead of the October deadline, are increasingly at risk of facing a bottleneck of companies rushing to meet the date. “We have thus far had huge success supporting businesses with the implementation of both CoP Respond and CoP Request. Not only has this enhanced and safeguarded their own operations, but it has brought a much-needed additional layer of security to their customers and clients.” https://lnkd.in/e9Dervby #fintech #finance #banking #paytech #payments #fintechnews #paymentsnews

UK’s Largest Independent Payments Broker Launches Tech-Enabled Cash Service to Boost SME Cash Flow Richard Bradley, CEO of acceptcards® Independent Payment Experts and Accept Cash, said: “The cost and time implications of depositing cash is currently squeezing SMEs financially and operationally. Not only does it take time out of a working week for a staff member to cash up and physically go to a bank, it’s also increasingly difficult to do so given the rise in high street banking closures. Added to this, the fees associated with depositing cash can be very high, making it difficult for SMEs – who want to be able to offer cash to their customers – to balance the books and forecast cash flow. “As an independent payments broker, we pride ourselves in disrupting this sector with the latest innovations in technology. Cash is here to stay and we’ve identified that SMEs need to be able to deposit cash quickly and affordably. Accept Cash’s innovative approach and use of new technology will allow businesses to access cash in their bank accounts on the same day – without having to visit a bank – by combining open banking and technology with secure smart safes. We’re pleased to be one of the very few providers in the UK to offer this same day settlement service and respond to demand. “Not only is Accept Cash the perfect solution to solving a big headache for businesses processing cash, it is likely to also encourage some businesses who have moved away from cash to return to accepting it. Ultimately, consumers need to have the choice of both cash and card payments and this should not be prohibitive in any way for SMEs; after all, they remain the backbone of the UK’s economy.” https://lnkd.in/ervZ2Jku Martin Smith Kayley Worsley MCIPR Jason Costello Richard James West #fintech #finance #banking #paytech #payments #fintechnews #paymentsnews

Some of our clients struggle to find a #fintech #lending partner in their core markets offering "lending as a service". Perhaps this can help. During our APG (before Aluna Partners) Capital Markets Forum, we had the opportunity to host John Downie and the team at SteadyPay, a company that provides financing, regulatory framework and much more to other companies in the UK... and the good news is that they are expanding. Perhaps its the right time to reach out and have a conversation. #longterminvestment #venturecapital #venturedebt #fintech #assetbasedlending #alternativelending #privateequity #privatemarkets #privatedebt #capitalmarkets
