As payments expectations change, are your recurring receivables helping - or hindering - cash flow?
Between 2025 and 2026, the UK business payments landscape has continued to evolve. Updates to Direct Debit scheme rules, a growing emphasis on account verification, and the rise of alternative payment methods are all influencing how organisations approach recurring collections. For finance teams, this means recurring receivables must deliver speed, reliability and confidence — not just automation.
In this on-demand webinar, Naomi Smith, Senior Sales Consultant at Bottomline, Chris Spalding, Principal Product Manager at Bottomline, and Calvin Hindley, Product Manager at Bottomline cut through the noise to explain what’s changed, why it matters, and where finance teams should focus now.
Why now?
As finance teams juggle Direct Debit alongside Faster Payments, Open Banking and Variable Recurring Payments, expectations for receivables performance have risen. Delays at set‑up, incorrect account details, or failed first collections all slow cash coming in — creating friction where predictability is critical.
Drawing on current scheme guidance and real‑world payments insight, Naomi, Chris and Calvin share practical ways to strengthen recurring collections and support faster, more reliable cash flow.
What you’ll learn:
- The key payments trends shaping finance teams in 2026
- Why account verification now sits at the heart of payment confidence
- Practical ways to ensure you’re collecting from the correct account
- What a modern receivables automation strategy looks like today
Designed for finance, payments and compliance professionals, this webinar delivers clear, practical insight into what’s changing - and why now is the time to act.
