  12. 1 Key Considerations – ACH ACH • Payables/Receivables (DR/CR) (22,32,27,37) • Payment that are the right fit for ACH? (COGS, MRO) • Payment Applications (PPD, CCD, CTX, IAT, WEB) • File creation (WEB,PC, Direct File) • Format (NACHA format, Non-NACHA format) • Addenda (STP 820, ANSI X12 formats, tax addenda) • Rules and operating guidelines? (REG E, Reg CC, UCC4A) • Returns, notification of changes, authorizations and enrollment • Driving adoption (Direct Payment, Direct Deposit, UPIC) • Remittance Reporting (EDI, Data Capture, Formatting, STP)

  13. 2 Wire Transfers Speed Payment Processing COMMON USES BENEFITS • Where funds need to be available immediately, and where finality of payment needs to be certain – mortgage closing, broker dealer, high dollar value B2B transactions • Can be used in conjunction with other payment types, e.g., a draw wire to fund an ACH credit file • Has high potential for wider B2B usage once the new FED wire remittance is in place • Funds available for immediate use • Initiation flexibility and security • Automated batch input can send large volumes in automated fashion • Accurate, safe, and confidential • Increased financial flexibility • Simplified transfers, repetitive and voice initiated options

  14. 2 Key Considerations – Wires WIRES • Type of wire input (Voice, Phone, PC, Web, Direct Connection) • Network (FED, SWIFT,CHIPS, internal) • Wire type (Repetitive, Semi-Repetitive, Free Form) • Wire cutoff times per bank but follow Federal Reserve • Security requirements • Wire instructions (valid characters for each network, BNF, OBI, BBI fields) • New FED wire remittance data • Wire reporting and advice information • Tracking

  15. 3 Cards are Easy to Use COMMON USES BENEFITS • Decentralized purchases • Large number of purchases –small amounts per purchase • Travel, fuel, private aviation expenses • Easy to use • Network standardization • Transfer of risk from supplier to card issuer • Increased productivity • Revenue share opportunities • Reduced processing costs • Better cash flow forecasting CARDS

  16. Key Considerations – Cards 3 CARDS • Supplier adoption is key • Buyers need to articulate benefits to suppliers • The more spending you push onto the card, the greater the benefits to all • Consider mandating their use • Enhanced spending controls (optional) • Payment analytics can spot employee misuse (optional) • Still growing 16

  17. Virtual Card Accounts 4 COMMON USES BENEFITS • Management of strategic supplier relationships • Single Use Accounts • “Ghost” Accounts • Virtual Accounts • Straight Thru Processing • Enhanced visibility and control • Reduced operating costs from process improvements • Reduced fraud • Improved on-time payment • Increased early payment discounts • Improved revenue sharing opportunities • Enhanced cash flow forecasting abilities CARDS 17

  18. Virtual Card Accounts 4 Considerations • Ideal if you have a substantial number of regular suppliers who offer discounts for early payment • Significant IT investments are not necessarily required by either buying and selling organizations • For best results, need to “sell” epayments as the standard for conducting business to all internal/external partners 18

  19. 4 Virtual Card Accounts • Over 25% of organizations have adopted virtual purchasing cardaccounts • For organizations with $1 billion+ revenue, the adoption rate is nearly double • Over the next three years, EAP use will grow byover 40%* *Source: 2010 RPMG “Purchasing Card Benchmark Survey Report”

  20. Electronic Invoice Presentment &Payment (EIPP) 5 COMMON USES BENEFITS • When the buyer’s goal is invoice-to-payment automation • When the goal is to reduce your payment costs, reduce your paper use and maximize your efficiency • Bank can pay the suppliers how they want to be paid • Buyers can pay the bank the way they want to pay • Bank acts as the “converter” • Easily converts paper to electronic • Everything - from invoice to final payment – is electronic • Buyer and supplier to have equal access to data – promotes collaboration, mitigates disputes • Payment method neutrality • Fewer lost or missing invoices • Minimize fraud and duplicate invoices • Finance options for buyersand suppliers • Maintain a complete audit trail CARDS 20

  21. Electronic Invoice Presentment &Payment (EIPP) 5 Considerations • Significant IT investments are not necessarily required by either buying and selling organizations • Implementation may take a little more time • Rebates are not part of it, but the cost savings might exceed any possible rebate 21

  22. 5 Electronic Invoice Presentment &Payment (EIPP) • Incremental benefits available... eliminating large capital investment • Buyer and supplier benefits are not dependent on each other • EIPP solutions are reaching critical mass

  24. 5 How EIPP Works INVOICE FINANCE PRESENT PROCESS PAY • Cooperative approach between two participants • Buyer – uses EIPP for A/P • Supplier – uses EIPP for A/R • Both parties review and manage their transactions online • Both parties have real-time visibility to invoice and payment status • Both parties collaborate online to resolve disputes or exceptions
