Many companies are opting to outsource their payments processing to companies that can provide an integrated platform that enables migration of their vendors from checks to ACH (automated clearinghouse) or virtual card payments. A virtual card program presents the most best economic option by using proactive vendor enrollment and outreach campaigns.

70 percent of monthly business-to-business payments are still made via paper checks. Converting to ACH and Virtual Card can dramatically reduce costs and provide rebates. Corporate treasurers are seeking ways to improve efficiencies, reduce costs and increase revenue.

They are often tasked with:

Outsource Check Printing- Save Time and Money by removing the check printing burden from your staff. It’s straightforward, secure and quick to implement.

Check Printing – We are experienced in printing check types in all situations.  We work with clients to determine the right solution for their specific needs.  There is no “one size fits all” in check printing. We recommend solutions that are designed for specific situations. We will make sure you get what you need, not what is convenient.

#1 Best Practice for Cost  Reduction and Revenue Generation

Single-Use Virtual MasterCard^® Program

Virtual Card Program is an electronic payment method using a virtual MasterCard single use account number to pay your suppliers with ease and security. It’s like a check because each payment is tied to a specific amount, a unique payment number and an expiration date. It’s better than a check because it can be fully automated and integrated into your accounting system – from payment to reporting to reconciliation.

Virtual Card payments are the fasted growing payment type in the industry. Growth rates have exceeded 30% for several years and are projected to continue that growth.
