Real-time payments are gaining traction everywhere, with businesses and consumers alike clamoring for these services from their financial institutions (FIs). Perhaps nowhere, however, are instant payments’ benefits more evident than in the small to mid-sized business (SMB) segment. Real-time capabilities help smaller firms overcome payment delays and realize stronger cash flow — urgent priorities for the smallest businesses as economic uncertainty persists. Banks realize this, yet many still cater primarily to large enterprises in these offerings. Recent studies indicate that one-third of SMBs would switch FIs for real-time payments, putting banks on notice. Moreover, by addressing small businesses’ real-time payment needs, FIs can unlock new revenue streams and strengthen relationships with a sizable customer base
Upflow, a French startup we’ve been covering for quite a while, originally focused on managing outstanding invoices.

And a tool like Upflow can be particularly important as many tech companies struggle to raise their next funding round and want to improve their cash balance.But that was just the first step in a bigger roadmap.“Basically, my vision has always been that the real problem is payment methods,” Upflow co-founder and CEO Alexandre Louisy (pictured above) told TechCrunch. “Today, when you pay in a store, you pay with your phone. When you pay for your Spotify subscription or your Amazon subscription, you don’t even think about how you pay.”“But when you look at B2B payments, the way you pay today hasn’t changed in the last 50 years
