H2: VoPay and Sage Forge Partnership to Streamline SMB Payroll Operations

VoPay, a leading provider of embedded payment solutions, proudly announced its strategic partnership with Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). This collaboration embeds VoPay's advanced payment technology into Sage’s platform, enabling streamlined financial operations for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) through Direct Deposit.

Industry studies reveal that 51% of businesses still use spreadsheets for payroll processing, with manual, repetitive tasks being major pain points. Additionally, 27% of businesses identify inefficient processes as a significant challenge.

This partnership directly addresses these issues, providing SMBs with enhanced payroll functionalities such as direct deposit payments, self-serve portals, and comprehensive reporting. By eliminating the need for paper cheques, cash, or manual funds transfers, SMBs can expedite their financial operations and focus more on growing their business.
