As industries increasingly lean on digital transformation, the challenge of managing vast, inconsistent and often contradictory datasets is growing more complex. The upside? When that challenge is successfully met, the ability to seamlessly access and synthesize reliable third-party business data can increasingly make or break a company’s potential competitive edge. “By unifying thousands of...
At a time when international FinTech, banking and digital-commerce players are launching product updates, partnership deals and funding rounds at break-neck speed, cutting through the noise has never been harder. And now it’s never been easier. Public relations and corporate communications teams know that distribution without measurement is a half-solution. They need a channel that both amplifies...
Historically, B2B payments have often played out like a tug-of-war, with buyers aiming to retain their cash as long as possible while suppliers seek prompt payment. As a result, innovations that benefit both sides are often viewed through the lens of competing interests. Virtual cards, for example, offer a compelling solution for accounts payable (AP) teams. With features like enhanced security,...
Imagine you’re owed a payment, whether it’s a gig paycheck, an insurance claim or a loan disbursement. Now, imagine two scenarios: one where you get to choose how that money lands in your account; and another where you’re stuck with whatever method the company prefers. Which version makes you feel more in control? According to the PYMNTS Intelligence’s report “The State of Digital Disbursements:...
AI has set up shop across the corporate landscape, with goods, services and technology companies increasingly using the rapidly evolving software systems to replace certain automated tasks and reduce reliance on human workers. Nonetheless, AI and its increasingly human-devoid agentic iterations are far from in charge. A forthcoming report from PYMNTS Intelligence suggests that while GenAI (...
Artificial intelligence is reshaping corporate finance, with accounts payable (AP) functions at the forefront of the transformation. The PYMNTS Intelligence report “Smart Spending: How AI Is Transforming Financial Decision Making,” a collaboration with Coupa, quantifies how enterprises are using AI, as well as the perceived opportunities and challenges surrounding its adoption, particularly...
The CE 100 Index resumed its winning ways  in a holiday-shortened week, notching a 1.7% gain that was powered, in part, for investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI)-related news. Only two pillars declined through the final trading days of May, and those losses were muted, as the Shop pillar was 0.3% lower and the Eat segment slipped 0.6%. The Enablers segment added 2.6%, and here’s...
Google has debuted an app letting users run artificial intelligence (AI) models on their phones. That’s according to a report Saturday (May 31) by TechCrunch, which said the new tool — dubbed Google AI Edge Gallery — lets users run AI models from the Hugging Face platform. Available now on Android, it will come to Apple’s iOS. The tool lets users find, download and run compatible models that do...
Payments firm Stripe has reportedly held initial talks with banks about using stablecoins.  As Bloomberg News reported Friday (May 30), these discussions are happening as Stripe is rolling out a series of stablecoin-related products.  “In the conversations we have with them, they’re very interested,” Stripe President and Co-Founder John Collison said in an interview with Bloomberg. “This is not...
Despite an ongoing legal battle, the U.S. Commerce secretary said tariffs are here to stay.  The levies are “not going away,” Howard Lutnick said in an interview with Fox News Sunday (June 1), days after a federal appeals court paused a block on many of the Trump administration’s sweeping tariffs. President Donald Trump “has so many other authorities that even in the weird and unusual...
