In B2B transactions, there is a high demand for deferred payments (billing/invoice payments/BNPL), which are essential for sales growth. However, operating deferred payments in-house involves challenges such as billing effort, costs, and the risk of non-payment.
By introducing 'Paid,' client companies are freed from billing tasks and the risk of non-payment, while their trading partners benefit from stabilized cash flow. 'Paid' creates an environment where companies can focus solely on their core transactions without the burden of settlement.
'Paid' began as Japan's first B2B-specialized payment service, 'SD Payment,' in 2009 and was rebranded as 'Paid' in 2011. It has been highly evaluated for 'reducing time and effort on billing, allowing focus on core operations' and 'enabling proactive transactions with new customers without the risk of non-payment,' and is currently used by over 5,500 companies as the leading B2B payment service by cumulative contract share.
