We're thrilled to announce that Paidnice has been honored with two major awards at the Xero Global App Awards 2025:

🏆 Global Small Business App of the Year
🏆 Australia Small Business App of the Year

For a company that started with the simple belief that businesses shouldn't have to chase payments, this recognition means the world to us. These awards validate what we've always known: cash flow challenges are real, and solving them requires tools that work seamlessly within the systems business owners already trust.

Why This Matters

Since launching, we've been focused on one thing, helping small businesses get paid on time so they can focus on growth instead of collections. Late payments aren't just an inconvenience; they're a threat to survival. According to recent data, over 50% of UK small businesses struggle with late payments, with many waiting 30+ days beyond terms to receive payment.

We built Paidnice to automate the entire accounts receivable process, from invoice reminders and late fees to customer statements and payment collection. Our integration with Xero means finance teams can set it up once and let it run, freeing up hours every week that would otherwise be spent chasing invoices.

Congratulations to Our Fellow Winners

We're honored to be recognized alongside some incredible companies in the Xero ecosystem:

Mayday took home the People's Choice Award, a customer-voted honor that truly reflects the impact they're having on finance teams worldwide. Serving over 12,000 Xero organizations and helping automate month-end processes, Mayday is solving one of the biggest pain points for finance professionals. Congratulations to David Tuck and the entire Mayday team on this well-deserved win.

G-Accon was named Global Practice App of the Year and UK Small Business App of the Year. Their mission to empower accountants with smart, connected tools that fit naturally into existing workflows resonates deeply with us. Starting as a tiny team in 2018 and now winning global recognition is a testament to the real impact they're delivering. Huge congratulations to Andrey Kustarnikov and the G-Accon team.

We were also honored to be finalists alongside A2X and Joiin for the People's Choice Award. Being in such excellent company reflects the strength and innovation within the Xero app ecosystem.

What This Award Means for Our Customers

This recognition isn't just about Paidnice, it's about every small business owner who's struggled with late payments, every finance team that's spent hours manually chasing invoices, and every customer who's trusted us to help solve their cash flow challenges.

Our customers are seeing real results:

  • Faster payments: Automated reminders mean customers pay on time more often.
  • Less time chasing: What used to take hours each week now runs on autopilot.
  • Better cash flow: Consistent enforcement of payment terms trains customers to pay promptly.
  • Peace of mind: Business owners can focus on growth instead of collections.

Looking Ahead

We're grateful to Xero for this recognition and to the judges who selected us for these awards. But most importantly, we're grateful to our customers—the small business owners, finance teams, and accountants who trust us every day with their accounts receivable.

These awards motivate us to keep building, keep listening, and keep solving the real challenges that businesses face when it comes to getting paid.
