With Finly it was just a couple of weeks and any requirement we had was easily configurable from the front end through a support desk & consultant they had assigned to us. The training process involved videos and a self help guide built into the front end which made the process productive in terms of adoption. Kudoes the team which has designed this. **What do you dislike about Finly?** Cannot process payment in international currency.
