Features of INTERNATIONAL payment SOLUTIONS for law firms Self-administered user controls: Our online solution allows you to set the user rights you want in order to boost internal controls. Automatic beneficiary notification: When a payment is initiated, you can opt to have an email automatically sent to your payee detailing the payment amount and remittance details. This email also contains a link to a payment tracker, so your beneficiaries can check on the status of their payments, thus reducing time consuming vendor inquiries. Invoice validation: Our system can automatically validate your invoices to ensure you do not make duplicate payments. Accounting package integration: Eliminate double-entry by reconciling payment information back into your accounting system. Our application is compatible with nearly a dozen time and billing and accounting systems used in the legal industry. Comprehensive reporting: In addition to the standard reports available on GlobalPay Legal, we can also create custom reports tailored to your specific needs. Furthermore, we can customize your payment screen to include entry fields such as, Client Matter Numbers, Vendor IDs, and Invoice Dates. And the system enables you to split invoices by matter number and account for credit notes. Low-cost payments: Standard wire fees can add up quickly, both for you and for your recipient. Low cost payments like international and domestic ACH can save your firm money and ensure your beneficiary receives the full payment amount, with no incoming wire fees or other deductions on the receiving end. And since Travelex Global Business Payments has relationships with over 4000 financial institutions, use of our banking network will minimize the overall costs of sending the payment. Future Payments: This feature enables you to lock-in realtime exchange rates on an invoice level for 240 days at a time. It provides the convenience of billing your clients a fixed USD cost for payments in foreign currencies. This not only gives you greater control over your incoming and outgoing payments, but also eliminates the need to re-invoice clients or post losses due to currency movements. Even with a three-month billing cycle or a slow-paying client, you can be assured that you have locked in a fixed rate for eight months. If your client delays a payment or you would like to settle an invoice earlier, the release date within the eight month period can be moved to any date within that time period. EXAMPLE THE BENEFIT OF FUTURE PAYMENTS Without future payments: Your beneficiary in Italy bills you 10,000 EUR in January. When you receive the invoice, you bill your client the U.S. dollar equivalent (e.g. $15,000). Your client pays the U.S. dollar equivalent when it comes due in March. But by this time, the exchange rate has fluctuated and paying the 10,000 EUR invoice will now cost you $16,000. You now need to either absorb that $1,000 loss when you pay your beneficiary, or re-bill your client for the difference. With future payments: Your beneficiary in Italy bills you the 10,000 EUR in January. At that time, you can lock in a rate of exchange with Travelex Global Business Payments and bill your client that amount. Since your rate is locked in with us, once your client pays the $15,000 you simply settle your future payment for the $15,000 and we will send your beneficiary the full 10,000 EUR. This way, you can avoid re-billing your client or posting a loss due to exchange rate volatility. 2 international Payments and Vendor Management Made Simple Solutions for Law Firms
Additional services and SOLUTIONS for law firms Payee management: Drastically reduce vendor inquiries and streamline the way you handle your travel and expense reimbursements. Our industry leading online vendor selfmanagement system, Payee Manager, allows your payees to manage and update their own banking details within the system through a secure self-service environment and track progress of their payments including payments in transit. Accounts payable data entry outsourcing: By utilizing our accounts payable outsourcing solution, you can eliminate time and costs associated with the manual entry of invoices. Simply send us your invoices and we will enter and schedule your payments and send you a file for upload into your accounting system. Check to ACH conversion: Switching from paper based payments to electronic payments reduces costs and increases your payment security. With our check to ACH conversion solution, we guarantee to convert 70% of your payments from check to ACH within three months*. Often, a law firm has a large number of internal payees (travel & expense reimbursements), and we assure you of the prompt conversion of these payees. Payroll processing and T&E reimbursements: The Domestic ACH service enables the efficient reimbursement of T&E expenses. The International ACH service eliminates incoming wire fees for foreign payroll disbursements and is less expensive than wire transfers for both sending and receiving payments. The service includes reference information to provide the payee with an explanation of the reason for payment and automatic email notification including remittance details to inform the payee of incoming funds. Overseas US dollar payments to FX conversion: Paying overseas beneficiaries in US dollars may be placing your firm at a competitive disadvantage by costing up to 10% more on each invoice. To avoid this, Travelex Global Business Payments can send out notifications on your behalf to your foreign associates, requesting them to bill you in their home currency. This way you avoid paying a premium for services rendered abroad. *Certain terms and conditions apply. Telephone: 1 866 470 6504 LawFirms@travelex.com www.travelexbusiness.com/na 3
