Talk us through some of the key points covered in your fireside chat.

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.

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.

What are your aims moving forward in the next 12-18 months at SAP?

We aim for broad adoption, empowering all our clients to start leveraging the benefits of digital currencies today.
