Alternative Payments, a B2B payments and checkout infrastructure provider, announced its official expansion into Canada, marking its first international market, according to a press release. The move is intended to provide faster and more flexible payment solutions for businesses in North America.

The company has opened new offices in Toronto and Vancouver and established a local team for customer support and partner engagement. The expansion includes the introduction of CAD/EFT support and integration with Canadian bank rails, allowing for seamless fund transfers within the country. The company states that the launch is part of its ongoing effort to digitize and automate B2B payment workflows for industries such as IT services and blue-collar trades.

"Our Canadian expansion represents an extension of our footprint and a critical step toward our vision of building the first truly global alternative payments network," Baxter Lanius, founder and CEO of Alternative Payments, said in the release.

The expansion follows the release of the company's API, which is designed to give managed service providers control over billing operations. Alternative Payments states that its platform, which integrates with accounting software, helps businesses get paid 40-50% faster by automating workflows.
