A perfect storm of market shifts catalyzed by the global pandemic has forever changed the B2Bpayments landscape. Billtrust CEO and Founder Flint Lane highlighted three shifts in particular that are igniting major change in the industry: first, the accelerated digitization of accounts receivable (AR) and accounts payable (AP).
Much innovation in B2B has been focused on getting rid of paper checks.
