Bluechain, a B2B payment orchestration platform, has partnered with Visa to modernize UK business payment processes. This collaboration aims to streamline and secure B2B transactions using Request to Pay principles and advanced security measures.

Bluechain facilitates efficient and secure payments between businesses by automating the entire receivables and payables cycle. The platform reduces fraud risks and simplifies reconciliation tasks, ensuring a seamless end-to-end payment experience for all parties involved.

Enhanced Real-Time Visibility and Control

The partnership brings real-time visibility and comprehensive control over the payment process through Bluechain’s smart network. It introduces a crucial infrastructure layer that enables businesses to pay suppliers via Visa cards, even if these suppliers do not accept card payments directly. Bluechain handles billing, collections, reconciliations, and merchant-of-record responsibilities.

Representatives from Visa Europe underscore the importance of improved payment handling and data utilization for better decision-making. By integrating with Bluechain, Visa enhances business workflows to offer greater flexibility, visibility, and efficiency. This collaboration is transforming the B2B payments landscape by creating a more connected experience that mirrors consumer conveniences.
