Cambridge Global Payments and Qwil Partner to Provide Instant Payment Services to Vendors Around the World

Qwil, powered by Cambridge, will provide customers with advance pay functionality in more than 140 currencies globally. Integrating with Cambridge's industry-leading payments platform, Qwil funds the advances and charges a one-time transaction fee to payees. The Qwil dashboard can also help companies track payments for tax records by documenting payments to independent contractors.

"We're excited to work with Qwil," said Anil Sawrup, Chief Commercial Officer, Cambridge Global Payments. "As more of the workforce transitions to freelance employment, this agreement allows our customers to remain ahead of the market trend with best-in-class technology. The ability to offer fast payments around the world in more than 140 currencies will help companies attract and retain top talent."

"Working with Cambridge was an easy decision," said Johnny Reinsch, Co-founder and CEO, Qwil. "We've always been impressed with Cambridge's payments technology, and we're excited to leverage their foreign exchange capabilities. As the bi-weekly and monthly pay cycle falls out of favor, it makes good business sense for companies to offer independent contractors the flexibility to get paid on their schedule."

57 million workers in the United States alone work freelance positions, contributing more than $1.4 trillion dollars to the economy¹. Independent contractors using Qwil, powered by Cambridge, can have funds deposited in their bank account within 2-3 business days or receive them instantly on their Qwil pre-paid debit card in almost any currency they choose. Qwil does not collect any interest or charge any subscription fees for payment advances.
