The Quiet Payment Revolution

With little fanfare, the way companies pay their bills has been steadily changing. A best-practice payment environment today it bears little resemblance to the way invoices were paid ten years ago. Checks, while still having their place in the payment world, are expensive and prone to fraud. There is a better way. This session will look at the payment tools now available and explain the pros and cons of each.

Our speaker will walk you through the process of establishing an overall payment plan for your organization. You'll learn how to select the best tool for each type of payment while developing an integrated approach that maximizes the benefits of each while keeping cost to a minimum, reducing the risk for fraud, and duplicate payments. We'll leave plenty of time at the end for questions.
