Small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeblood of many economies, with more than 5 million SMBs in the UK, and 99 million in the US. In the last decade, the combined effects of globalisation removing cross-border barriers, plus innovation and rapid digital change, have set the stage for SMBs to thrive in the global digital economy.

In this episode of Payments Innovation, Piers Marais, Chief Product Officer, Currencycloud, speaks to Adam Goodall, VP of Product, Funding Circle, to discuss how SMBs can thrive in the global marketplace and consider whether the future for SMBs is actually beyond borders.
