As the economy tightens, financial flexibility and control over cash flow become increasingly critical.

We queried a large sample of small business customers to find out how critical a role faster funding plays in their business. The majority indicated that while they may not need immediate access to that day’s funds all the time, their margins are so lean that quick access is frequently necessary to make payroll, pay utilities, or attend to unexpected changes or emergencies. For others, quick access to their funds has become part of their routine operational model in recent years.

Feedback indicates that lack of financial flexibility directly correlates with fears about navigating economic headwinds.

We have several solutions that take the guesswork out of funding times and minimize the gap and the friction points from the settlement process so our customers can make decisions that are vital to their business at the speed required.

Plus, our On Demand Funding solution allows qualifying businesses to transfer money from payment transactions in an open batch directly into a bank account or eligible debit card, giving access to funds within minutes. If you are eligible for On Demand Funding, you will see a prompt appear on your Payments Insider account dashboard.
