According to i-payout, 27 percent of business transactions are already done via mobile device. NOW was released in support of that trend in corporate payments. Businesses can check their accounts and monitor recent transaction activity, but the app won’t offer all of the features of i-payout’s web platform until a later date, the company said.
“The trend towards increase mobile usage is obvious,” said i-payout CEO Eddie Gonzalez in a statement. “As more and more people are relying on their mobile device, the creation of an app that can be used anywhere, at anytime, was a natural progression.”
The company added that rolling out NOW is also a response to heightened demand among i-payout’s clients for a mobile solution. According to Gonzalez, an app also promotes the company’s offering of access to accounting data in real time.
“The app addresses the need for many of [i-payout’s] users to have continuous access to real-time information concerning their businesses,” the company said in its release.
The app is available for iOS and Android devices, the firm added.
