Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., a well-known payments technology company, has announced its new partnership with Mastercard Track™ to modernize B2B payment solutions for their customers. Mastercard Track Business Payment Service has automated its payments-related data information between buyers and suppliers. The payment data information consists of a portfolio of B2B solutions. Mastercard Track helps businesses increase flexibility, simplicity, and efficiency by providing these solutions, thus optimizing the best option of paying and getting paid across multiple payment platforms.

Priority's partners will benefit from the new partnership; they'll get an allowance to use virtual cards, a direct deposit experience. In addition, when customers would make payments through MasterCard Track, they will receive enhanced remittance automatically, which will eliminate the need for manual extraction of payment details and data.

On the new partnership news, Stephen Tackett, Executive Vice President and Head of the B2B division for Priority, says, "We are thrilled to be expanding on our successful partnership with Mastercard. Mastercard Track delivers tremendous value to both buyers and suppliers by simplifying and automating the exchange of payments-related data while cutting costs and reducing complexity and risk for businesses."

We're seeing a paradigm shift happening in the B2B payments landscape, and Mastercard is working at scale to offer a choice for suppliers and buyers to optimize the best payment option to pay and get paid. With Mastercard Track and through collaborations like this one with Priority, we're delivering on our mission to make B2B payments work for everyone."

PRnewswire | May 17, 2023

Abrigo, a leading provider of growth and risk management software for U.S. banks and credit unions, recently announced significant improvements to Abrigo Connect, the company's banking intelligence solution. Abrigo Connect now includes new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for ease of use and new role-based products to help leaders make strategic and operational decisions. The functionality was revealed at Abrigo's ThinkBIG conference in Miami last week, where 600 attendees convened for thought leadership and Abrigo product innovation. Introduced in 2020, the Abrigo Connect platform curates relevant information to quickly deliver intuitive and actionable dashboards across lending, credit risk, financial crime management, enterprise risk, and banking operations. These dashboards give financial leaders insights into institutional performance, opportunities for growth, and employee efficiency. "Banking leaders have to do more with less given the economy, and they need real-time information to optimize decisions around resources, loan growth, and risks. Abrigo Connect can close that information gap quickly, without months' long implementations or complex data stacks," explained Ravi Nemalikanti, Abrigo Chief Technology Officer. Abrigo Connect features a new user interface powered by ThoughtSpot Everywhere. It uses AI, GPT-3.5, and natural language search capabilities so bankers can find their data using the words they speak everyday – improving the speed and quality of results. "Companies that are building their businesses on data, both internally and in their offerings for customers, will realize unprecedented competitive advantages. It makes us immensely proud to be empowering a global community of data-driven companies, like Abrigo, that are using ThoughtSpot to build sticky products that deliver business impact and extend analytics to their customers that deliver a modern data experience," said Sumeet Arora, Chief Development Officer at ThoughtSpot. "Abrigo is driving innovation in the banking sector with AI-Powered analytics, and we're thrilled to be an innovation partner in differentiating their platform with a bespoke analytics experience and in delighting their end users." Abrigo supports 2,400 financial institutions through lending, portfolio risk, and financial crime management automation. Leveraging its customer network, the company has built a proprietary database of banking data for exclusive benchmarking within Abrigo Connect. While many financial institutions grapple with a talent shortage, they may also struggle to source or fund an in-house data science team. Similarly, many community institutions lack resources dedicated to data warehousing to power general business intelligence systems. Abrigo Connect uses information already flowing through the Abrigo Platform to sidestep lengthy, expensive data integration projects and yield immediate access to curated data. Later this year, Abrigo will also integrate additional data sources for richer analysis. The Abrigo Platform, including Connect, provides unlimited user access, allowing financial institutions to add users as their usage of data analytics expands. Bankers can have confidence in the security and expediency of data flows through Abrigo, knowing the company has integrated to more than 50 unique core systems across thousands of successful technology implementations.
