The tie-up will also lower time-to-trade for businesses, Worldpay said.
Sage EVP for payments and banking Seamus Smith said: “We know it takes on average between 7 – 15 days for businesses to chase payments every year – time they could spend growing their business.
“By increasing the opportunities for businesses to accept card payments, their customers can quickly pay by card (or other digital payment methods of their choice), which helps reduce the businesses’ admin burden and the time it takes to chase them up.”
In announcing the partnership, Worldpay cited a 2017 report published by Sage titled ‘The Domino Effect: the impact of late payments’.
