GoCardless has partnered with Endava, a provider of technology services, to help enterprise merchants access the benefits of bank payments.
The collab will see Endava manage the integration of GoCardless payment solutions within their enterprise clients as part of “large-scale” digital transformation projects.
This will accelerate delivery, helping organizations with realizing the “benefits of bank payments.”
Joint customers can access GoCardless’ Direct Debit capabilities for recurring payments, automatically pulling funds from “a payer’s bank account on the day they’re due.”
Not only will this help to generate revenue and improve cash flow, it will also decrease the time and effort “required to chase late payments.”
The offering will include GoCardless’ open banking-powered payment feature Instant Bank Pay, an alternative for “instant, one-off payments that can be up to 54% cheaper than cards.”
With the option of using Direct Debit and open banking payments together in one platform, enterprise businesses can provide a “seamless payment experience for their customers, whether they’re collecting one-off or recurring payments.”
Lewis Brown, Head of Partnerships & Alliances at Endava said:
“By working with GoCardless, we can bring our clients cutting-edge payment solutions combined with the tailor-made approach they’ve come to expect from us — helping them reach their digital transformation goals and deliver value more quickly.”
