There was a time not that long ago, when B2B payments innovation was perceived by many to be “out of vogue.” Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, B2B payments innovation was synonymous with an exuberant group of innovative B2B payment exchanges, marketplaces and hubs that failed spectacularly. Moreover, even the secular trends in payments over the last decade have made little impact in the dominance of paper-based payments, which still account for more than 80% of all payment transactions and over 70% of total payments volume in the B2B space. It is perhaps understandable that many entrepreneurs and innovators looked elsewhere for innovation opportunities during the last decade. In fact, with the exception of Remote Deposit Capture solutions, very little B2B payments innovation gained traction in the 2000s.

OK, having just written a little analysis on the deal space, I was feeling pretty prescient about the Groupon IPO delay story that popped up literally hours after my story was published on PYMNTS.com. No, it had nothing to do with Andrew Mason reading my piece and deciding they needed a strategic about face, but, if news reports are true, it is just as interesting. Seems as though Mason has some ‘splaining to do after his internal-but–leaked-to-the-public-memo touting Groupon’s success was made public during what was supposed to be their quiet period. Don’t these guys know that you NEVER put anything in writing that you wouldn’t want on the cover of the NYT (or TechCrunch) and that quiet period really means quiet? I mean, geez. Anyway, it seems as though there is a little command performance being requested down in DC and a possibility that they will need to amend their public filing. Hey, maybe it will turn out OK after all. The market has been in the tank for awhile, and maybe by the time all of this is cleared up, it will be out of the dumper. The Andrew Mason email is actually interesting reading. Check it out when you get a chance.

The mobile phone is the first ubiquitous communication device in human history, paving the way for the most revolutionary event in the history of finance. As a consequence, mobile payments are an unprecedented opportunity to address four billion people in emerging markets.
