B2B payments are ripe for disruption. They’re slow and cumbersome, particularly for cross-border transactions. Virtual currencies can transform this with 24/7 availability, no bank closing hours, instant settlement, and low global fees. However, businesses don’t operate in a vacuum -- there’s more to the equation.

Integration with existing payment systems and business processes is crucial. At SAP, we bridge the gap between the technology stack and enterprise systems, creating a seamless experience. This enables clients to enjoy 24/7 instant payments globally, with low fees.

Shaping the future of B2B payments with digital currencies

In your opinion, what does SAP contribute to the fintech industry?

We’re developing the ACP Virtual Currency Hub, a cutting-edge platform that integrates seamlessly with any ERP solution. This solution brings the future of digital payments into reality today.
