A report from payments automation company Tipalti finds that 47% of businesses have delayed strategic growth initiatives because of outdated payment systems. These legacy systems are also causing partner churn, with 26% of firms losing vital contributors like affiliates and contractors due to payout-related friction.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your back-office payout system is now a competitive weapon for retaining talent. If you run a marketplace or creator platform, your partners will leave for a rival that pays them faster and more reliably.
