London, UK – 14 March 2022: IRIS Software Group (IRIS) today announces it has selected Unipaas as its embedded finance solutions provider, to bring the power of embedded finance to its SME customers.

Through its partnership with Unipaas, IRIS will be able to provide its customers with a more efficient and streamlined payments experience by truly embedding payments and open banking within its suite of products to improve SMEs cash flow. Recent research from the National Federation of Self Employed & Small Businesses suggests that over a third of UK SMEs experience cash flow difficulties due to late payments. According to data provided by the UK’s Open Banking Implementation Entity, open banking services in the UK continue to grow with as many as five million active users as of February.

Through partnering with Unipaas, IRIS will be able to provide its customers with embedded finance solutions so they can add financial services alongside their core software products and in doing so, increase their own revenue per customer by 2-5x.

“We are extremely proud to have been selected by IRIS to join forces to provide embedded finance solutions. We created a truly embedded experience that unifies all payments and financial aspects in one place. Our mission is to remove all of the traditional pain points of B2B payments, and help companies improve their customer experience and improve their business’ cash flow. We look forward to working with the team at IRIS and to seeing the results that our technology will help it achieve”, says David Avgi, CEO & Co-Founder, Unipaas.

Our aim is to help our customers automate the payment process for on-time payments and an improved customer experience. SMEs are the lifeblood of the UK, representing 99% of our economy and have been traditionally underserved in terms of payment solutions. This partnership puts us ahead of the curve and enables us to meet the accelerating demand for embedded finance and Open Banking based solutions” states Paul Nagy, Chief Product Officer, IRIS Software Group.
