GoCardless has partnered with Endava, a leading provider of next-generation technology services, to help enterprise merchants more quickly access the benefits of bank payments. 

The collaboration will see Endava offer and manage the integration of GoCardless payment solutions within their enterprise clients as part of large-scale digital transformation projects. This will accelerate delivery, helping organisations realise the benefits of bank payments more quickly. 

Joint customers can access GoCardless’ Direct Debit capabilities for recurring payments, automatically pulling funds from a payer’s bank account on the day they’re due. Not only will this help to generate more predictable revenue and improve cash flow, it will also decrease the time and effort required to chase late payments. 

The offering will also include GoCardless’ open banking-powered payment feature Instant Bank Pay, an effective alternative for instant, one-off payments that can be up to 54% cheaper than cards. With the option of using Direct Debit and open banking payments together in one platform, enterprise businesses can provide a seamless payment experience for their customers, whether they’re collecting one-off or recurring payments.

Lewis Brown, Head of Partnerships & Alliances at Endava said: “Companies today face complex problems, and we’re committed to bringing the latest innovations to help address them. Payments are no different; it’s often an underappreciated source of top-line growth and cost savings. By working with GoCardless, we can bring our clients cutting-edge payment solutions combined with the tailor-made approach they’ve come to expect from us -- helping them reach their digital transformation goals and deliver value more quickly.”

Tom Metcalfe, Director, UK&I Partnerships at GoCardless, said: “We’re excited to partner with Endava so more enterprise businesses can experience how bank payments help them win and retain customers, save time and money, and get paid on time. The collaboration is also a big strategic step forward, enabling us to reach larger organisations and their suppliers at scale. We look forward to our relationship going from strength to strength in future.”
