BDIA Enhances Member Benefits Through New Partnership with Cashflows for Custom‑Built Payment Services

WHY THIS MATTERS

Cashflows’ partnership with the British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) highlights a growing shift toward verticalised payments—where solutions are tailored to the specific operational needs of individual industries rather than relying on generic merchant services. In sectors like dental care, where billing can involve prepayments, treatment plans and recurring services, traditional payment systems often create inefficiencies that impact both cash flow and patient experience.

Cashflows, the platform that makes it easy for businesses to accept payments, has partnered with The British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) to ensure operators have merchant services that are purpose-built for their needs.

The British Dental Industry Association (BDIA) is the UK trade association representing and supporting manufacturers and suppliers of dental products, services and technologies. Its members provide high-quality products and services to dental professionals and practices across the country. 

Managing payments efficiently is critical to the financial health and growth of any business. Complex billing, diverse payment preferences, and cash flow challenges can slow operations and impact patient satisfaction. 

This strategic partnership will enable the dental profession to move away from generic or legacy merchant services and utilise payment services that are custom-built and best in class for their industry.

Cashflows ensures modern, secure, and flexible payment options, along with on-demand tech support. Onboarding is simple and rapid with the Fast Onboarding AI-supported app, and all transaction data is available in real-time with Cashflows Portal.

Custom built for the UK dental sector, the solution suite enables providers to reduce administrative workload while improving cash flow, streamline billing, prepayments and recurring plans. It is also designed to ensure peace of mind when it comes to air-tight transaction security through PCI compliance.

Hannah Fitzsimons, CEO at Cashflows, said: “Typically, dental providers are burdened by legacy payment systems that have been accepted because it’s simply provided by who they happen to bank with. We wanted to turn that on its head with a purpose-built suite of solutions that cater to what the industry really needs – a plug-and-play solution that ensures seamless payments and ensure patient satisfaction from end to end. Partnering with the BDIA is monumental, as their seal of approval means providers have the peace of mind that they are getting the best of the best.”

Mark Hyde, Commercial Director at BDIA commented: “Cashflows joining our newly launched Business Services portfolio is an exciting step forward for the BDIA and our members. Having strong, reliable payment partners available through the Association gives dental businesses greater choice and confidence when selecting the solutions that work best for them. This addition strengthens the support we can offer our members and reflects our commitment to providing high‑quality, practical services to the profession.”
