Credit in Seconds, Not Weeks: How Allianz Is Changing B2B with Özlem Özüner & Francois Burtin
Manage episode 513683789 series 3642819
In this episode of the B2BEA Insider, Justin King sits down with Özlem Özüner and Francois Burtin from Allianz Trade to explore how the future of B2B payments is being shaped by automation, embedded finance, and the shift toward digital-first buying experiences.
As B2B eCommerce outpaces B2C in volume, legacy payment systems are struggling to keep up. Özlem and Francois break down why traditional payment terms, manual credit checks, and bank transfers are no longer enough, and how solutions like Allianz Trade Pay are streamlining the entire order-to-cash journey.
They unpack the full lifecycle of a modern B2B transaction, from automated KYB and real-time credit decisioning to seamless fraud checks, invoicing, payment tracking, and guaranteed settlement—all with zero operational lift for the merchant. Whether you're a manufacturer, distributor, marketplace, or partner, this episode highlights why rethinking payments isn’t optional—it’s mission critical.
Key topics include:
• Why B2B payments are still stuck in a manual, high-friction world
• The true cost of ignoring payment strategy in digital transformation
• How real-time credit approvals and fraud checks are reshaping buyer onboarding
• Why card-based checkout doesn’t work for B2B transactions
• The role of platforms—not banks—in enabling modern trade credit
• What omnichannel sellers need to know about credit integration
• How Allianz Trade removes the credit risk for merchants and ensures payment
• The changing role of the CFO in digital payments and ERP strategy
• Why agencies and system integrators must prioritize payments in eCommerce builds
This episode is a must-listen for B2B leaders, digital transformation stakeholders, and any organization ready to future-proof their payment infrastructure in a rapidly evolving commerce landscape.
