World First, a foreign exchange broker based in the UK, has launched a free software application with AP staff in mind, with the aim to reduce the valuable time AP staff spend on making payments runs in foreign currency.

World First Autopay, has been developed in partnership with Sage Business Partner and Acuity Solutions, is compatible with the Sage 200 suite and is scheduled to include Sage 50 shortly. Both these accounting platforms are broadly used by UK businesses. This new application will speed up the time it takes small to medium size enterprises to plan their foreign exchange (FX) payments to a matter of moments.

Ian Marshall, corporate financial accountant at Crystal Umbrella, said: "I've found World First Autopay very easy to use and hugely beneficial. These FX processes usually take hours to finish, and it's fantastic to have this time freed up to do something else instead. I'm sold."

Ann Marie Johnson, financial controller at Altered Images, agreed: "The new app makes a very protracted process very simple. I'm very happy to recommend that anyone who uses Sage for FX transactions should download World First Autopay as soon as possible. It's certainly going to make life easier for my team."
