Co-founder and Co-CEO of Butn, Rael Ross said: “The OZEDI partnership is a great example of the advantage we have in our ability to fully integrate into partner platforms – thereby providing a seamless experience for users. It allows Butn to leverage the high levels of integrity, security and reliability that OZEDI has established with its customers in order to deliver a powerful cashflow solution technology to OZEDI’s clients. By integrating the Butn solution within their payments and invoicing systems, their end users will have quick access to cashflow which is critical at this time of increased growth off the back of COVID-19.”
OZEDI CEO Christian Walkerden, added: “With the critical nature of cashflow issues being elevated during the pandemic, combined with the need to find elegant digital solutions, the time has well and truly come for cashflow solutions and services to be made available to businesses directly from within their native software.”
