Our Story

2020

Late Payments

In early 2020, we launched a virtual terminal for easy credit card payments. We aimed to solve common issues for business customers and kept refining our approach based on their feedback. Business owners appreciated being able to offer multiple payment options but struggled with collecting late payments. By late 2020, we identified the root causes: treating payment as the final transaction step, a disconnect post-invoice, and unnecessarily long payment terms in a credit-rich environment. Our findings revealed that 50% of invoices are paid late, often by up to 14 days, indicating a flawed system. The system is broken.

B2B Transactions

The conventional business culture to accept "a late payment is better than no payment at all” and “hold on to the cash as long as possible” is not going to change over night. We created flexible features that did not force business owners to do business differently, but rather a toolbox to do business any which way. We introduced eQuote, payment requests and pre-authorized debit tools. All these tools combined, results in unprecedented DATA & VISIBILITY into business transactions.

Forward

We told hundreds of our FREE users that Cashflow was launching commercially with a 3 tier usage based pricing model as of June 2022.  In the following months, we were happy to learn that 95% of our FREE users converted to monthly PAID users.  A great sign that we were providing true value to our business customers.  We took this as motivation to further improve and expand our platform features.

Payables V1

We launched our V1 Payables feature that focused on sending payments to suppliers with domestic bank transfers.  We added a Bill Management feature that allowed businesses to upload, of forward by email, invoiced bills to be paid in one central location, scanned and ready to be paid on-time. In November, we signed a partnership with a major international cross border services provider.  Our business customers would soon be able to send payments in over 150 currencies via international bank transfers.

Our Vision

Make cashflow the easiest part of running a business.

Make cashflow the easiest part of running a business.

SEND. RECEIVE. FINANCE. It should be easy.

SEND. RECEIVE. FINANCE. It should be easy.

After all, payment is the benefit of a successfully executed business transaction. Settling up shouldn't cost us time, and it certainly shouldn't cost us money.

But for many small and medium-sized businesses, moving money is more than just a headache. Cash flow problems are all too often the causal agents in the demise of an otherwise promising business. So, what gives?

The B2B payments system is broken.

You wouldn't walk out of a store without paying for your groceries. And yet, paying late for services rendered or products delivered has become such an accepted practice between business partners that it now kills as many as 50,000 small businesses every year.


In addition to this, industry stats have revealed the following:

We believe in a better way.

It's clear that the outdated, paper-driven process of submitting invoices after work has been completed does not work. It leaves businesses at the mercy of their customers, even once they've fulfilled the terms of an agreement. And the time and money that businesses continue to sink into processing invoices and chasing payments undoubtedly threatens their growth.

About Us Question
About Us Question

We asked ourselves three questions:

Do we really need invoices in a digital payments world?

Why do we have to ask to get paid after delivering?

Shouldn’t payment be due exactly according to the payment terms?

It's time to change the way we think about business transactions. By improving the process as a whole, from quote to cash, instead of treating payments as an afterthought, we can completely transform the prospects of SMEs across multiple industries.


This is the future we're building with Cashflow.io. By automating payments as part of an initial agreement, we're able to prevent late payments completely and alleviate this unnecessary pressure on SMEs. This allows them not only to navigate turbulence, but also to seize every growth opportunity that comes their way.

The digital payments revolution allows us to correct the mistakes of the past and offer our business customers a fully integrated AR solution for their business transactions from quote-to-cash. Never chase a customer for a late payment ever again!

We see a future in which no payment is sent or received late ever again.

By embracing the digital payments revolution, automating business transactions and allowing businesses to actually earn money from their payment process, we believe we can usher in a new era of possibilities for SMEs.
