Let’s face it, traditional business payments are anything but simple. Whether you’re paying, getting paid, at home or abroad, the process is a hassle.
For one, getting paid can be a burden, between providing and collecting bank information, invoicing, waiting, and sending reminders. When due dates are stretched, conflicts develop between business partners.
And if not the payee, the process is often at fault. Dealing with financial institutions can be costly and time consuming. While it pays to trust big banks, it also costs a lot.
Certain payment methods hurt small businesses by disrupting cash flow, creating conflicts between partners, and costing a bundle in fees.
Sometimes the hardest part of fixing a problem is adapting to change. Business owners can get used to the way things are, making it difficult for partners to get on the same page. Some businesses have always paid their partners using checks. And subsequently, their payees have learned to tolerate the time it takes to finally receive payments, whether due to postal delays or other factors. But, these methods aren’t sustainable, especially as operations grow.
Businesses usually already know what they’re sacrificing when it comes to outdated payment methods like checks. Time spent waiting for checks means a backed up accounts receivable, which can disrupt your company’s cash flow. Small businesses often can’t afford delays to their accounts receivable and rely on timely payment methods and settled invoices.
Many businesses use bank wires religiously. And while these business owners might not mind the fees and inconvenient process, their payees most likely do. To get all partners on the same page, businesses usually have to sacrifice something.
Where payments should bring businesses together, they often have a hand in pulling them apart.

By locking an FX rate, businesses can stabilize their cash flow and avoid the volatility of exchange and pricing that soars above mid-market averages.
Cross-border transactions can hurt businesses. And traditional bank wire transfers don’t exactly help. When you send money through the bank, part of that payment won’t make it all the way to the receiver. Processing fees and exchange rate fees nibble at your money as it passes from the sender’s bank account to intermediaries, and finally to the receiver’s bank.
Veem gets rid of the need for intermediary banks, cutting out the middlemen. That means less fees, less time, and more visibility into your money’s whereabouts.
Small business finances are anything but easy. They can be time consuming, frustrating, and really bog-down your operations. At Veem, we want to simplify and streamline your payments. Because the frustrating thing is, payments are important, and that’s what makes it so stressful. You can’t help but worry when mistakes can cost your business dearly.
