Payment terms solution for shipping & logistics businesses

Shipping & logistics is the backbone of international trade. Their value was over 8.4 trillion euros in 2021. The industry is projected to reach about 13.7 trillion euros by 2027. 

The rise of B2B e-commerce and the consequent growth of cross-border trade drives shippers to look for flexible and innovative payment options. Why? To ensure smooth, frictionless international supply chains. 

Extending payment terms to the enablers of shipping & logistics platforms provides the competitive advantage that distinguishes your business from your rivals, while growing revenues and increasing your customer portfolio. With access to convenient and secure payment terms, your customers’ loyalty and cash flow will increase, too.
