Intuit Inc., the financial technology leader behind TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, is teaming up with fintech firm Adyen to enhance payment solutions for small and mid-market businesses (SMBs). The collaboration will embed Adyen’s advanced payment services into QuickBooks Online, which processes approximately 2.9 million invoices monthly in the UK.

Addressing Late Payments for SMBs

Late payments are a significant challenge for UK SMBs, costing an average of £22,000 annually and contributing to 50,000 business closures each year. With Adyen's integration, QuickBooks users gain access to real-time Faster Payments Services (FPS), enabling faster fund transfers. Additionally, the expanded payment options, including pay-by-bank and card payments, simplify transactions, reducing friction for businesses and their customers.

The Office of the Small Business Commissioner highlights that timely payments could inject £2.5 billion into the UK economy annually—a goal this partnership aims to support.

3. Error Reduction:                                                                                                                      Automating payment processes reduces errors associated with manual transfers.
4. Better Tracking:                                                                                                                                 Real-time updates on paid and unpaid invoices simplify reconciliation and bookkeeping.
