SMB Credit Cards

Visa On Launch Of Infinite Business For High-Spending SMBs

Today (Oct. 23), Visa’s rolling out a new card product suite focused on small businesses (SMBs) — more specifically, high-spending SMBs. David Simon, Visa’s senior vice president and global head of small businesses and medium enterprises, tells PYMNTS that Visa Infinite Business will help firms make the switch to digital B2B payments — and control expenses right down to the individual care (and employee) spend. Here’s how.

Real-Time Payments

Mastercard: How Payment On Delivery, Request To Pay Will Ignite Real Time Payments

Real-time payments need use cases to drive adoption, and Mastercard has identified two pain points that could use a real-time boost. Ron Shultz, Mastercard’s EVP of new payment flows in North America, tells PYMNTS how Pay on Delivery and Bill Pay Exchange solve real payment frictions, and help Mastercard move flows beyond the card.

Authentication

Why ZenKey Authentication Is A Good Idea — With A Big Design Flaw

There is an all-out assault on killing the password, with the latest attempt coming from Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile — all of which have announced ZenKey, the password-killing single sign on a la Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft. Boku CEO Jon Prideaux tells Karen Webster why it’s a great idea, with perhaps a not-so-great plan to get consumers and merchants on board.

POS Innovation

Why Better POS Is Vital To Saving SMB Retail

The coming decade promises to add fuel to point-of-sale (POS) innovation, which could also boost prospects for smaller retailers, especially those with a physical presence. In an interview with PYMNTS, Butch Langlois, president of North America for Vend, talks about how the drive to craft better consumer experiences — or even to survive — depends on better payment capabilities. 

REPORT: Adoption Of Instant Payments For Disbursements Has Quadrupled In Three Years

A new PYMNTS study of more than 5,000 U.S. consumers shows that the adoption of instant disbursements has quadrupled over the last three years, and satisfaction for being paid that way is about 80 percent. In the latest Disbursement Satisfaction Report, we explain where instant disbursements adoption is strongest and where consumer satisfaction is highest, and examine why — despite such strong consumer preference — so many consumers still aren’t provided that option.
