3 Payment Strategies Traditional Check Most common form of B2B payments, but highest cost to process Suppliers will often permit day payment terms Check payments take 3-5 days to settle, increasing supplier s DSO WireTransfer Generally offer same day settlement for buyer and supplier High transaction fees to send and receive Typically reserved for large dollar or international transactions ACH (Automated Clearing House) Utilizes an electronic network via daily batch with 1-2 day settlement delay Standardized payment files with limited remittance Can be easily integrated into AP systems Traditional P-Cards Most widely used card payment product for procurement of goods by various channels Can replace the traditional PO/invoice/approval process May have embedded controls to ensure compliance
4 All Payment Types Are Important No single payment will win in business payments Checks ACH/EFT Cards Wires Cost (who pays) $1-2 (Buyer) Pennies (Buyer) 2-4% (Supplier) $5-25 (Buyer) Transaction Timing Determined by buyer Scheduled by Buyer At time of purchase Instant Good Funds Check may bounce NSF risk Chargeback risk Final Settlement Speed Data Varies (depends on when supplier cashes the check) Complete remit via paper Next Day hours Instant Remit via other method (fax, ) Supplier send purchase data to buyer (L2, L3) Remit via other method (fax, ) Fraud Risk High Medium Medium Low Other Familiar, acceptable, status quo Supplier reluctant to share bank info Buyer earns rewards or rebates Common for cross border and high value transactions Source: Glenbrook Partners, 2010

6 Barriers to Adopting epayments and eremittance 1. Trading Partners trading partners are unable or unwilling to originate and receive e-payments and e-remittance data. 2. Information Technology - businesses lack technology and IT resources needed to support more use of e-payments and e-remittance data. 3. More Standard Practices - many businesses cite the problem of non-standard e-remittance formats and business practices, which makes it difficult to readily exchange and automate e-remittance processing. For example trading partners reportedly use the X12 EDI 820 standard in such different ways that specific arrangements must be negotiated with each trading partner to enable processing of remittance data files. Businesses also report that remittance data frequently has key fields missing or incorrect data, making manual intervention necessary Electronic Payments & Remittance Data: Pain Points & Solutions, Federal Reserve Banks

25 Industry Trend: Settlement Networks or Portals Business commerce payments portals, also called exchanges or trading partner networks, ease connections between buyers and sellers.

Source: Aberdeen, AP Invoice Management in a Networked Economy. Value-added services such as onboarding Vendors and maintaining them in the Vendor masterfile helps us overcome a lack of internal resources. Further, the provision of information exchange among buyers and Vendors improves the payments and invoice reconciliation process.

26 Payments Portals or Networks In addition to cost savings, other benefits of Payments Networks include*: Eliminate paper delays by automating processing Ensure greater accuracy in processing Update buyer credit limits quicker, which supports greater sales Identify new buyer and/or supplier opportunities Visibility of total company cash allows for improved and longer-term forecasting, better investment rates, reduced need to borrow, and better matching of revenue to expenses Better working capital management leads to higher enterprise value Improve compliance with trading partner agreements; opportunity to optimize payments timing * AFP PAYMENTS DECISION GUIDE TO Business Commerce Portals
27 How Does it Work? Member Payers make electronic payments to any member Vendor. Member Vendors receive electronic remittance data from any member Payer. Settlement Network
28 Settlement Network that is easy to implement Specialists onboard, manage and maintain the Vendor population SaaS model makes implementation easy, eliminating the need to rely on IT Works with existing financial and ERP systems

32 Industry Trend: Mobility - Access From Anywhere / Anytime Aite Group estimates that approximately 33% of small businesses currently bank via a mobile device While an additional 31% are interested in doing so. Approximately 54% will bank via mobile by Aite Group, 2012 Small-Business Mobile Banking: A Promising Opportunity
33 Concluding Remarks The majority of businesses are still burdened with costly check payments While larger businesses have greater success at migrating off check, they re still issuing checks for 59% of their transactions Migrating to electronic has significant appeal, but brings with it some internal hurdles A one size fits all payments approach does not exist the right mix of payment vehicles can differ for each organization Third party Payments and Settlement Networks facilitate payments between companies of any size Advanced AP departments utilizing a Settlement Network with a payments mix based on 3 things, can automate as much as 65-70% of their target transactions - Maximizing financial gains, - Lowest routing payment cost & - Strengthening Vendor relationships
34 5 Best Practice Tips Understand Your Vendor Population & Payment History Many organizations lack the time and resources to do an analysis of their Vendor population and payment history to identify helpful trends. This is Step 1 knowledge is power. Know How Your Vendors Prefer to Get Paid Are many of your Vendors already part of an existing payment network, or do they ask for a specific payment type? Find out to take advantage of momentum and increase Vendor satisfaction. Develop a Payables Optimization Plan Create rules for which payment types and terms are offered to your individual Vendor categories so you can maximize overall automation, cost reduction and financial improvement opportunities. Eliminate Non-Core Tasks for AP Expert Help Exists In-house approaches rely on AP to reach out to Vendors and onboard them to various payment methods, slowing adoption and increasing liability. Dedicated experts = accelerated adoption. Leverage Your Financial System & Bank Minimize business process re-engineering and cost by taking advantage of your existing ERP and bank relationships. SaaS/network payment automation tools integrate with what you have today.
