Atradius and Mondu Partner to Improve B2B Payment Experiences
Atradius and Mondu are joining forces to bring better payment options to business buyers and sellers. Through this strategic partnership, Atradius clients in the EU and UK can use Mondu’s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solutions designed specifically for B2B online transactions. The goal is simple: make it easier and safer for businesses to buy on terms and for merchants to get paid.
What This Means for E?Commerce
Merchants can now tap into Atradius’ deep expertise in trade credit insurance alongside Mondu’s BNPL technology. It’s a pairing of risk know-how and checkout convenience. Together, they’re focused on practical innovation—tools that help businesses keep pace as more purchasing moves online and expectations for smooth, secure payment options rise.
Built for How Businesses Buy Today
As digitalization accelerates, most business buyers start their purchasing journey online. To meet them there, merchants need an e?commerce setup that doesn’t fall short at the final step—the checkout. That means payment choices that are secure, straightforward, and designed for B2B. The collaboration between Atradius and Mondu is a direct response to that shift, giving merchants a way to offer flexible terms without losing control of risk.
Tackling Risk in Invoice-Based Payments
Invoice payments carry real exposure for merchants, from late payments to outright defaults. Approval rates tell the story: while B2C approvals often exceed 90%, B2B acceptance commonly sits between 40–50%. Faced with that gap, many merchants require advance payments, which can close deals off before they start. The partnership is aimed at changing that equation—opening access to terms while keeping safeguards in place.
How the Collaboration Helps Merchants
By combining Atradius’ global trade credit insurance with Mondu’s BNPL platform, B2B merchants can offer terms and manage risk in one motion. Buyers can choose deferred payment options—net terms of 30 to 90 days—or opt for installment plans from 3 to 12 months. Mondu provides instant credit decisioning, and approved orders are paid out to merchants within days. With Atradius’ insurance in the background, merchants receive protection against defaults, plus outsourced payment collection from buyers. Flexibility for the buyer, confidence for the seller.

Andreas Tesch, CMO of Atradius, commented, "Partnering with Mondu to integrate their BNPL solutions reaffirms our commitment to offering clients enhanced financial flexibility and security.
