It also covers MonduSell B2B BNPL for multichannel sales as well as flexible instalment options.

By GlobalData“UK B2B commerce is the second largest in Europe, and there’s a real need for BNPL as we’ve seen through a growing demand from UK businesses for our solutions, since our initial launch.
“Our payment solutions can help both online and offline companies across Britain provide their business customers with a consumer-like, best-in-class payment experience.”
In addition, Mondu has hired Eric Weijman to serve as its chief risk officer (CRO). Weijman joined from Netherlands-based ABN AMRO Asset Finance, where he supervised a team of 150 risk executives.
Weijman said: “Mondu’s founders and c-suite see risk management as a growth lever for the business. Its sustainable execution strategy convinced me of its world-winning potential.
“Based on my experience in asset-based working capital financing, I recognised a growing need for SMEs to have B2B payment and working capital solutions. These stem from the current digital age.”
