“Previse is on a mission to get five million suppliers paid instantly, within the next five years, and this funding will help us achieve this goal.”

Previse is also taking part in Mastercard’s Start Path programme and the card issuer has already used InstantPay with a select group of its own suppliers.

Mastercard global commercial products EVP James Anderson said: “It is solutions and innovations like those being driven by Previse and Mastercard, through banks to their corporate customers, that will help businesses support their suppliers, and liberate them from inefficient processes.”
