Capital On Tap Selects Gocardless For Variable Recurring Payments

Capital on Tap, a leading all-in-one small business credit card and spend management platform, has selected bank payment company GoCardless to provide Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs) through its open banking feature, Instant Bank Pay.
