Reportedly, Visa Inc. (V) has partnered with Wave, an all-in-one accounting and business banking platform to launch Instant Payouts to Canadian small businesses helping them to manage their cash flow. The platform will be enabled by Visa Direct, Visa’s real-time2 push payments platform, and made available through Wave’s financial institution partner.
“Cash flow can mean the difference between whether a business survives or languishes, and the ability for small businesses to access funds instantly is all the more important in today’s climate. Tens of thousands of our US customers have experienced the benefits of Instant Payouts over the past year, including real-time deposits and 24/7 access to funds. Introducing this feature to our Canadian customers will make a meaningful impact in helping Canadian small businesses thrive.” stated Les Whiting, Chief Financial Services Officer at Wave and H&R Block.
Wave’s Instant Payouts feature integrates Visa Direct directly into Wave’s invoicing and payments platform, offering Canadian customers a new way to access the money they’ve earned within seconds. Instant Payouts push funds directly to a customer’s bank account, omitting any hold periods and changing the way small businesses manage their cash flow. Wave customers benefit by receiving funds in real-time, 24 hours a day, and even on evenings, weekends and holidays. Instant Payouts allow business owners to use the money they’ve earned immediately for further business expenses.
Wave’s Instant Payouts feature is supported by the power of Visa’s network offering secure, convenient, real-time funds delivery directly to eligible Visa cardholder account credentials. Instant Payouts are available to Wave customers in Canada and in the US.
