Fintech startup Cashfree Payments launches Vendor Payments to help businesses streamline purchase-to-pay cycle

Cashfree Payments, a fintech startup that provides payments and API banking solutions, today announced the launch of ‘Vendor Payments’, a platform that is aimed to empower businesses to streamline and manage their purchase-to-pay cycle.
