LONDON and PORTSMOUTH, N.H., June 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bottomline, a leading provider of financial technology for businesses and financial institutions globally, revealed today that finance leaders in Great Britain and the United States are facing a tough operating environment, with over 80% of businesses (82% in GB and 88% in the US) forced to accept new payment methods in the last 12 months. Financial decision-makers are also continuing to tackle a rise in fraudulent activity, as 39% of GB and 35% of US businesses experienced payments fraud over the last year.

Key Points: 
  • “Rising inflation, economic fluctuations, geopolitical tensions and rapid technology shifts have created a challenging operating environment that many finance leaders may not have faced before,” said Craig Saks, President and CEO, Bottomline.
  • Additionally, more companies in GB have started using new payment methods such as Request to Pay (Open Banking PISP) and instalment plans/deferred payments.
  • Globally, businesses continue to battle increasing waves of financial fraud, exacerbated by the hybrid working environment and enhanced payment technologies.
  • In the US, adoption is difficult to gauge since true real-time payment rails were only introduced in 2017.
