On the Box selects Spenda to integrate digital payments into their agri platform
Spenda, a leading integrated business platform offering a wide range of SaaS, payment and lending capabilities, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a partnership with On the Box, a website for agents and vendors to buy and sell commercial cattle, sheep, goats and machinery, to integrate a digital payment solutions into their platform.

Greg Szudrich, CEO of On the Box commented, “In partnership with Spenda, vendors will be able to access short-term finance if they get caught short, needing to buy a lot. Spenda will deliver a fully integrated digital payment solution through On The Box allowing everyone in Ag to transact efficiently and get paid quicker.”
