Boost and FIS Partner to Facilitate Automation in B2B Payments

This collaboration will enable FIS customers to streamline B2B virtual card acceptance by eliminating the manual workflows associated with email-based processing, the companies said in a press release emailed to PYMNTS.

Leavitt said in the release.

Boost Intercept integrates into suppliers’ existing payment systems without requiring change management or IT lift, Boost Payment Solutions Chief Financial Officer Mariana Lamson told PYMNTS in an interview posted Monday (July 28).
