If You’re Still Using 10 Payment Methods to Pay Contractors & Partners, Stop & Use This FinTech w/ Mark Sole
Payments Innovation
01/22/19 • 20 min
Payment options options are endless. PayPal, Visa/Mastercard Debit, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Amazon Balance, ... The list goes on.
This provides phenomenal variety for consumers.
But consider a commercial payer.
They now have to have multiple systems to pay a variety of payees in each of their methods of choice. Or risk losing a partner or contractor by not providing payments in their desired method.
That’s why when we found out about Sipree, we were astounded.
Being in the payments space ourselves, we understand how impressive it is to have a uniform payments system. Sipree takes in payments on the payer’s side, and then spits them out to the payees ... in almost any method on the market.
We had to find out more, so we invited Mark Sole, Sipree’s CEO and Co-Founder on our Payments Innovation podcast.
He gave us all the details on their amazing platform.
