Episode Six (E6), a leading global provider of enterprise-grade payment processing and ledger infrastructure, has introduced Business Now, Pay Later. This new solution aims to help commercial banks generate additional revenue by catering to the working capital needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through customized installment offerings within their business banking channel.
According to Capgemini’s World Payments Report for 2022, 89% of SMEs feel underserved by their primary banks and are considering switching to a new provider. This highlights the growing demand from SMEs for more flexible working capital solutions, which is further reinforced by current market conditions.
Business Now, Pay Later addresses this demand by refining and modernizing the traditional buy now, pay later (BNPL) model, making it suitable for commercial banks and their customers.
With this solution, financial institutions can tap into an untapped market and strengthen their business relationships by providing SMEs with products that enhance cash flow management, offering greater flexibility and control.
Furthermore, this dynamic solution allows banks to customize loan products based on individual client needs and risk profiles, empowering commercial banks to strengthen and expand their balance sheets.
Business Now, Pay Later enables banks to offer installment loans to businesses at any stage of their buying journey, including before, during, and after payment.
Payment options can be made through various channels, including real-time payments, ACH, wires, or cards. The repayment options are tailored to each customer’s specific requirements and risk profile, all easily managed by the bank through simple configurations.
John Mitchell, CEO and Co-Founder of E6, emphasized the importance of SMEs and their need for flexible credit solutions and repayment options to thrive. He stated that banks are in the best position to address this need and that E6 is assisting banks by providing a turnkey solution that allows them to offer customized installment products directly through their business banking channels. He further added that modern payment technology empowers banks to not only satisfy their SME customers but also strengthen their balance sheets and create new revenue streams, resulting in a win-win situation for all.
