Payments giant Visa has teamed up with financial services technology firm FIS to provide cross-border B2B payments.

The alliance will give FIS’ commercial financial institution customers access the Visa B2B Connect platform globally.

Visa B2B Connect platform is a distributed-ledger based, non-card platform that accelerates settlement of large-ticket, cross-border payments.

Under the arrangement, FIS will club its solution with Visa B2B Connect.

The integration will enable the partners’ mutual bank clients to send their corporate client’s B2B payments directly to and from another participating bank.

FIS has developed a custom integration module to allow its participating client banks quickly start transacting on the Visa B2B Connect platform.
