REPORT: Business Payments Barometer 2019
The 2019 Business Payments Barometer analyses the latest trends and most burning payment initiatives set to impact organisations of all sizes. Now in its fourth year this annual index surveys over 400 financial decision makers across Great Britain.
The report provides insight into the areas of most concern to financial decision makers, and highlights the challenges that organisations have on the agenda.

- Small to medium businesses claiming slow payer ethic as their greatest payment challenge
- Over half of business revenue was negatively impacted by financial fraud
