ATLANTA, GA (October 23, 2024) —Brightwell, an Atlanta-based global payments technology company, has announced it’s won a 2024 PayTech USA Award presented by Fintech Futures.
Latitude by Brightwell, the company’s latest innovative product, was named Best Business Payments System for Global Payments. The leading-edge software platform simplifies complex business-to-consumer (B2C) payments, transforming the way businesses manage refunds, disbursements, and other payouts. While traditional reimbursement methods such as paper checks or wire transfers can be slow and cumbersome, Latitude enables businesses to offer near real-time payments in their customers’ preferred formats—whether it’s delivered to a debit card, bank account, digital wallet, or cash pickup location. The fully managed solution seamlessly integrates into a company’s brand experience, which helps recipients feel secure collecting their funds.
The PayTech Awards USA celebrates innovation and excellence in the rapidly growing financial technology market. Nominees are selected by an independent panel of judges comprised of esteemed industry experts, and submissions are rigorously evaluated. These successful nominations underscore Brightwell’s commitment to advancing global payments technology, empowering businesses across industries with solutions that enhance efficiency and customer experience.
