LONDON, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lendscape, the market-leading provider of commercial finance technology, today announced the launch of Lendscape CONNECT, a revolutionary solution designed to widen access to invoice finance by removing the traditional barriers involved for lenders and their clients.

Lendscape CONNECT brings together open accounting technology and advanced Shadow Ledger functionality to digitalise and automate the invoice finance operations for banks and lenders, driving down costs while providing improved risk control. Available on the award-winning Lendscape platform, the new solution promises to completely remove the burden of month-end reconciliations, saving lenders up to four hours per client each month.

“Invoice finance can be a cashflow lifeline but has been hindered by complex manual processes that can be cumbersome for lenders to manage, and more intrusive for businesses than alternatives like overdrafts and term loans,” said Carolyn Goddard, Head of Product at Lendscape. “With Lendscape CONNECT, we’ve tackled these issues head-on. Our new solution gives lenders secure, direct access to live data from their clients’ accounting systems and a detailed view of the sales ledger that always aligns with their clients’ records. This eliminates time-consuming month-end reconciliations and removes the client burden of manually uploading debtors and invoices.”

Kevin Day, CEO of Lendscape, remarked, “Lendscape CONNECT is a true game-changer, combining the day-to-day simplicity of invoice discounting with the robust risk control typical of factoring. Lenders are now equipped to offer light-touch, non-invasive invoice finance to a wider range of clients, achieving precise, timely risk management without the need for human intervention.” He added, “We expect that this will enable lenders to strike the optimal balance of cost, risk and service in their invoice finance operations, fostering increased adoption and satisfying market demand. Lendscape has a proven track record of leveraging cutting-edge technology to address the challenges facing the industry, and Lendscape CONNECT is a milestone in enabling simpler, data-led financing.”  

Key benefits of Lendscape CONNECT include:

• Eliminate month-end reconciliations, saving ~ up to 4hrs per client, per month: Automated synchronisation between the lender’s view of the sales ledger and their clients’, eliminating the need for month-end reconciliations and manual disapprovals.
• All the control, none of the hassle: The control of factoring without the manual intervention. Lendscape CONNECT offers instant access to live financial data from clients’ accounting packages, providing the day-to-day simplicity of invoice discounting with the risk controls normally associated with factoring.
• More clients, enhanced risk management: Advanced Shadow Ledger technology offers comprehensive, invoice and debtor-level visibility. Detailed sales ledgers support improved reporting, a wealth of analysis, and granular, timely risk management at scale.
• Improved client experience: Reduces friction for clients, removing the need for cumbersome month-end reconciliations and manual uploads and providing a transparent view of their funding position through the Lendscape Client Portal.

With features including live data access, automated disapproval calculations, and seamless integration with a breadth of third-party services for enhanced reporting and risk management, Lendscape CONNECT is set to redefine invoice finance.

ALMATY, Kazakhstan, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In just 6 months after Kazakhstan launched the digital tenge, its Central Bank Digital Currency, over 10 innovative CBDC card services have become available to the country’s population of 20 million. Altyn Bank, Eurasian Bank and Halyk Bank leveraged the Way4 digital payments software system to swiftly join this CBDC project and onboard 72% of early adopters of digital tenge cards. The digital tenge footprint is expanding, with 36 new use cases in its roadmap for 2024 and 2025, according to Kazakhstan’s National Payment Corporation.

Bank customers in Kazakhstan can apply for virtual and plastic CBDC cards and use them for both in-store and e-commerce purchases across Mastercard and Visa global networks. Additionally, they can withdraw cash at ATMs, link their cards to Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, monitor their CBDC card balance and transaction history through mobile banking; and access other related services.

More than 130 countries are actively researching or implementing CBDC. While most CBDC transactions are conducted through web and mobile interfaces, the digital tenge project offers consumers a tangible instrument for CBDC payments.

Kazakhstan’s Digital Tenge project is pursuing several ambitious goals. These include intensifying cross-border trade, launching innovative social and anti-corruption initiatives, and enabling integration between CBDC and non-government DeFi platforms. Way4 powers card issuing and acquiring innovations for many members of the digital tenge ecosystem: Kazakhstan’s National Payment Corporation, Eurasian Bank, Altyn Bank, Halyk Bank, and national postal service Kazpost. Assisted by their partner OW Kazakhstan, three of these payments players integrated their card processing system with the Digital Tenge platform in less than two months.

The successful integration of CBDC cards into Kazakhstan’s payment ecosystem is a testament to the country’s forward-thinking approach and the robustness of its banking infrastructure. Many banks here have long used OpenWay’s Way4 software system to introduce ground-breaking innovations: for example, the first-ever UnionPay cards issued outside of China and the world’s first mobile Visa P2P transfers.

For CBDC issuance and redemption, Kazakhstan’s payment regulator selected R3’s Corda platform. Supported by Way4, Corda, and other technologies, Kazakhstan is strengthening its position on the international economic stage.
