As advanced technologies are now widely accessible to billions of people and businesses, many consumers have adapted to the evolution of technology and have adopted digital payment solutions in order to pay for their purchases or to send monetary funds between one another. And, most payment solution providers offer a variety of features which include new currencies, mobile payment apps, HTML payment buttons, and even security technology.

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) reported back in November that it is partnering with Even, the responsible on-demand pay platform, as part of its continued commitment to improve the financial health of its workforce. All PayPal employees in the U.S. can now use Even to get paid early, automatically budget and grow their savings, and have full visibility into their earnings through an easy-to-use mobile app. “Over the past year, we’ve made significant investments to strengthen the financial health of our workforce,” said Dan Schulman, president and CEO, PayPal. “We’ve made substantial progress to increase the net disposable income of all our employees, and our work with Even will help drive further improvements.

PaySign, Inc. (NASDAQ: PAYS) announced on its blogpost a new spin on the buy-and-bill process. Buy-and-bill processes allow a provider to purchase, store, and administer a drug or therapy to a patient. The provider then submits a claim for reimbursement to a third-party payer, such as an insurance company. The process is called buy-and-bill because the medical claim is submitted after the provider has purchased and administered the drug. The process can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, there’s a solution. Paysign offers a variety of programs designed to mitigate the hassle and risk associated with traditional buy-and-bill programs. These solutions are tailored to meet the specific needs of specialty and retail pharmacies, hub services providers, and clinically based therapies, as well as the healthcare providers who prescribe and administer them.

Anthony Hynes, former Managing Director and CEO of eNett International, will be President of the Travel division, responsible for customers in the travel marketplace.
