How an independent café pays almost every bill through Bluechain, from suppliers to rent and HMRC, on a rewards credit card. It earns points every month and uses the interest-free terms to smooth out cashflow.

The owner paid bills four different ways: bank transfer, direct debit, card for the odd bill, and supplier portals. Each had its own process, and keeping on top of them meant hours of admin, usually late at night. They wanted one place to pay everything, on the card of their choice.
Suppliers, rent, utilities and HMRC are now paid through Bluechain on a credit card, earning rewards points. The bills are added to Xero, the owner pays them in Bluechain, and every payment is scheduled for its due date.
I used to spend late nights juggling so many different payment platforms. Now I load them into my accounting software and pay almost everything on one platform with my credit card. The points are adding up towards my next holiday.
Around 90% of the café's bills are now paid through Bluechain. Points are building every month towards a holiday, the interest-free days take the stress out of cashflow, and the owner and bookkeeper have saved hours of admin.
