Popmoney for Small Business provides businesses with the capability to pay vendors and employees electronically using only an email or mobile number. They may also pay using an account number.
The solution will also allow small businesses to conduct invoicing, receive payments via automated clearing house (ACH) or credit card, make and track payments, send invoice reminders and view payment history – all directly from their bank’s online banking portal or mobile application through the Popmoney platform.
