As businesses continue to digitize their operations, there is a greater need for efficient and secure B2B payments. To better understand the major pain points in #treasury and how these can be addressed, Mastercard hosted the Finance Future event in Frankfurt last week. The industry-wide exchange focused on enhancing process efficiency, optimizing working capital and efficient supplier onboarding processes.   🏔 #B2Bpayments is an ecosystem ripe for disruption and is a long way away from achieving the same level of efficiency as consumer payments.   💥 One of the reasons why this disruption has not happened yet is the complexity of this playing field. Multiple players across the ecosystem need to align their activities to make meaningful change. All the more reason treasurer become the galvanizing force for their business by making payments the centerpiece of their strategy.   👂 That’s why #Mastercard decided to give this important topic a space and simply listen – in order to build on the latest technologies and payment innovations, tailored to address corporate needs, and expand with the right solutions for tomorrow.   👏 A special applause goes to our wonderful speakers for sharing their profound expertise and making this day a success: Martin Bellin (Advisor), Vincent Eavis (PayTech), Tashi Gauffin (@Billhop), Soren Aabel Hammer(@Mazepay), Matthijs Koorn (@Coupa Software), Lars Markull (Advisor), Rebecca Meeker (Mastercard), Sebastian Niemeyer (@Taulia), Kate Pohl geb.
