PerkStreet Financial offers a free online checking account with a Visa debit card and “perks”. You can earn from 1% to 5% cash back, coffee or music incentives when you use your PerkStreet Financial debit card to pay for purchases.

What we’re talking about here is the act of rewarding yourself every time you get paid. And by “reward” we mean tucking some money away for the future. After all, how many months do you find yourself promising to put some cash away, and then getting to the end of the month and discovering you’ve got none left to pass to your top discount brokerage?

A study by online debt recovery service Positive Collections, which surveyed more than 260 business professionals, found that SMEs are the most prone to suffer from late payers, with 74 per cent stating that they are likely to accept late payment excuses.

According to the survey, 17 per cent of businesses would try to chase debts but avoid legal action as they believe it will be too expensive.
David Green, CEO of online debt recovery service Positive Collections, says: ‘The fact that so many businesses in the UK have become accepting of this late payment culture is certainly a cause for concern as this has implications on the whole business community and economy.’
