Cashflow offers easy bank transfers in U.S. & Canada

For B2B (business-to-business) transactions, efficient transfers of funds are crucial to keeping your business’s customs running smoothly. However, the default method for B2B funds transfers is the obsolete and slow bank and wires transfer methods. Traditional methods waste time, are slow and insecure. 

Cashflow.io believes there should be a better solution to this.

Let’s explore how Cashflow.io is perfectly positioned to offer businesses easy B2B bank transfers for companies within the US, Canada and even abroad.

The Current State of B2B Transactions

We can split these B2B transactions into two important categories: domestic and international. 

For international B2B transactions, the default method is wire transfer. These are subject to high fees that can eat out of every transaction. For example, a typical transfer fee ranges from $45 and $50 for payments going out of Canada and the US. For businesses working with companies in other countries, a better transfer method is needed.

When looking at domestic transactions, the landscape is far more varied. Over 80% of Canada’s $9T annual transactions are remote back-office transactions, with only 10% using POS and less than 5% making use of eCommerce. Even more worryingly, 40% of B2B remote back-office payments are using paper cheques!

Traditional bank transfers are holding back the growth of scaling businesses. This is because bank transfers are a ‘push’ payment method. This means every payment must be initiated by the payer. This means more admin time for the paying business and slower payments for the receiving party. 

Traditional domestic payment methods result in: 

• Delayed or late payments
• Increased staffing costs
• A lack of protection

Push

When receiving B2B payments, Cashflow.io transforms funds transfers from a ‘push’ payment method to a ‘pull’ one. First, you’ll need to create a payment order, and Cashflow.io will send an invoice and payment offers to your customer for them to agree to these terms.

Through Cashflow.io, you can even offer pay later in instalment plans. This helps lower the burden on those payees most likely to delay payment – and allows you to gain a pricing edge on competitors without affecting your bottom line.
