Rho Launches Card Payments on Invoices, Letting Businesses Accept Credit Card, Debit Card, and Google Pay

Rho Invoicing customers can now accept credit card payments on invoices alongside ACH and wire, from the same account they already use for banking, with invoices syncing automatically to QuickBooks Online

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rho, the all-in-one finance platform for businesses, today announced that Rho Invoicing customers can now accept credit and debit card payments, including Google Pay, directly on their invoices. The feature is rolling out to eligible Rho Invoicing customers and adds to the existing ACH, domestic wire, and international wire options already available on Rho invoices. No separate merchant account, no new dashboard, and no waiting on a wire.

Here is how it works for the payer: your client opens the invoice, enters their card information, and pays in a few clicks. Card payments carry a processing fee of 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, paid by the business issuing the invoice and deducted from the payment before depositing into your account. Inbound ACH and wire stay free, and the payer never sees a surcharge at checkout. Card payments cover USD-denominated invoices and have a default daily limit of $10,000 across all of a business’s invoices, which can be raised on request.

An invoice is marked paid once the payout is initiated, and funds follow on card-network timelines rather than instantly. A business’s first card payment can take up to two weeks to deposit while Stripe, which powers Rho’s card payment features, completes its initial review.

Rho Invoicing remains free for all Rho customers, aside from card processing fees, and supports up to 100 line items per invoice with per-line sales tax, recurring billing, payment matching, and a fully white-labeled template that carries the business’s brand rather than Rho’s, with virtual account numbers that keep the business’s actual bank details private. Rho invoices sync into QuickBooks Online as accounts receivable through Rho’s direct integration, so AR aging stays accurate without duplicate entry.

Card payments run through the same Rho account a business already uses for banking, corporate cards, and bill pay. No merchant account. No second dashboard. No new password to add to a growing list. Getting paid should not add another tool to the financial stack.

Availability is limited to eligible Rho Invoicing customers for USD-denominated invoices. Access to and enablement of card payment functionality requires completion of Stripe’s verification process and is subject to third-party underwriting and approval, which is not guaranteed.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
