This partnership aims to streamline payments for accountants and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Customers of Big Red Cloud can now use Direct Debit to automatically collect and reconcile recurring payments from their clients directly within the platform.

GoCardless chief growth officer Jolawn Victor said: “We believe accountants should be successful because of the valuable advice and services they provide to clients.

“Building on our relationship with Big Red Cloud enables us to bring faster, cheaper and more secure payments to our joint merchants and their customers, freeing up time for accountants who can take payments off their list and get back to serving their clients.”

This integration is expected to help accountants and SMEs reduce late payments and bad debt, allowing them to focus more on client-facing activities.

Later this year, Big Red Cloud plans to add GoCardless’ open banking-powered payment feature, Instant Bank Pay.

This feature will offer accountants an alternative for instant, one-off payments without the high fees associated with traditional card transactions.

Big Red Cloud CEO Marc O’Dwyer said: “We’re really pleased to be expanding our relationship with GoCardless.

“As a happy customer that already uses GoCardless for our own business, it was a natural step for us to look at how we could bring these benefits to our customers, which is why we explored this partnership model.”

GoCardless is a global bank payment company used by nearly 100,000 businesses to collect and send payments through direct debit, real-time payments, and open banking.

The company processes over $130bn of payments annually across more than 30 countries. The company helps customers collect and send both recurring and one-off payments.

It leverages data and insights to improve payment success and reduce fraud, with open banking connectivity to over 2,500 banks.

In August this year, GoCardless launched GoCardless for Salesforce on AppExchange, enabling customers to access its payments platform directly within Salesforce.

Big Red Cloud provides primary cloud accounting software, making it easier for SMEs and professional accountants in Ireland to manage their finances.

The platform offers user-friendly solutions that facilitate financial management, providing real-time insights into financial data.
