Veem and Freightos Announce Partnership To Enable More Secure Global Sourcing for Small Businesses

Veem will provide customers of the digital freight booking platform with an accessible and user-friendly B2B international payment experience

Veem, a leading provider of online payment solutions, announced today that they will be partnering with Freightos.com, the online global freight booking platform. Through this partnership, Veem will become an available payments option on Freightos.com, offering users more ways to pay for international freight shipping.

The partnership comes at a time when demand for global sourcing and importing has rapidly accelerated for small business owners. The rise of e-commerce, particularly during COVID, helped drive an 83% increase in small businesses established in Q3 2020 and a 25% growth in e-commerce sales in the first 3 quarters of 2020. However, the 97% of US businesses that are SMB importers are limited by challenges when it comes to secure global payments and logistics.
