Digital Garage Launches its “DGFT Invoice Card Payment” for the “CARRY ME” platform

“DGFT Invoice Card Payment for CARRY ME” is a B2B payment service for self-employed professionals based on “DGFT Invoice Card Payment,” a service Digital Garage has been offering since 2022. This is one of the initiatives to expand payment services for the B2B market further.

This service extends payment due dates by switching invoice payments from bank transfers to credit card payments. It is mainly used to resolve cash management issues due to seasonal demand and to optimize accounts payable tasks by consolidating payments with credit cards.

Background

The number of professionals working as self-employed is increasing even faster, as many companies have lifted restrictions on side business. On the other hand, self-employed also have aspects of workload and income that are difficult to calibrate, making it easy for them to face cash flow difficulties.

“DGFT Invoice Card Payment” has been available to the self-employed since April 2023, and the share has grown to approximately 35%. Given these circumstances, it is expected that their use of the service will continue to increase in the future.

Through this service, DG and Piece to Peace, aim to contribute to the self-employed with professional skills by solving cash flow difficulties. Also, by delivering Fintech solutions in the B2B domain that ensure high-quality screening standards for companies that require a prompt and high standard of service, the partners will not only promote the next-generation Fintech business in the DG Group but also contribute to creating a convenient, safe, and secure cashless society.
