 The latest on American mobile payment companies making a play for Europe? PayPal says it's on the way. And Square so far is nowhere to be found. Which makes Intuit's announcement that it is launching its Intuit Pay mobile payments service in the United Kingdom all the more provocative. UK consumers have been waiting for Intuit Pay since the fall of 2012, when the company announced its intention to break into the mobile payments market in Europe. Starting in the UK, Intuit hopes to expand both to a wider European audience, as well as globally. This would follow in the pattern of previous, successful, region-by-region rollouts (i.e., Intuit's QuickBooks). Consumers in the United States can currently take advantage of Intuit's GoPayment app, which is functionally the same service as Intuit Pay. Intuit Pay will be available initially as an iOS app, with other platforms to be added in the near future (including Android). Intuit is offering its reader for free for a limited time. The company's move to the UK may have been encouraged in part by results from a survey suggesting that 47% of the small business respondents would accept cards if there were more affordable options, such as a smartphone or tablet. Currently, less than 20% of companies with less than 10 employees accept card payments. Intuit was last on the Finovate stage in September 2009. The company demoed an integration of TurboTax for Online Banking with FinanceWorks.
 International FX payments service, The Currency Cloud today announced on its blog that it will partner with three other fintech companies, including e-invoicing company Tradeshift and SMB financial services company Intuit. Through this partnership, the three will create an all-inclusive platform for  small businesses to better maintain cross-border relationships. The platform will focus especially on buyer-supplier relationships. The terms of this deal have not been disclosed. The Currency Cloud demonstrated at FinovateEurope last month, and its demo video will be posted here in a few weeks. Tradeshift demoed at FinovateEurope 2012, and Intuit demoed at Finovate 2009.
