Accountants, financial directors and entrepreneurs attending Xerocon 2018 will see first-hand how this fintech-bank partnership is helping UK businesses manage cash flow and supporting their growth.

The partnership

Earlier this year, Barclays became the first UK high street bank to partner with Kriya, Europe’s largest online invoice finance platform, to give their SME customers access to tech-led funding solutions. The partnership is a key part of Barclays’ plans to invest in new business models for growth, and MarketInvoice’s ambition to broaden its reach across the UK.
