Barclaycard wants to help UK businesses combat late payments

A new service launched by Barclaycard aims to tackle late payments, save time and generate savings for its business customers. Barclaycard Payment Intelligence (BPI) will use data analytics to help provide a much more comprehensive overview of businesses and their supply chains.

As a result, Barclaycard reckons that it will be able to help businesses cut costs by combatting late payment inefficiencies. Using brand new technology the BPI system analyses each supplier against numerous factors in order to create a custom payments strategy for each business signed up for the service.

By combining hundreds of accounts payable data points with internal and third-party information customers will be able to tailor their payment solutions more precisely. The technology allows businesses to catalogue their suppliers based on the number and value of transactions as well as their size, location and industry.
