The popularity of online and mobile payments is increasing among consumers, who like electronic payments because they’re faster, less costly, use less paper, and provide a higher level of security.
What business wouldn’t want a system that speeds up receivables, automates payment handling and posting, accepts consumer and business payments online, and automatically produces a daily ready-to-post accounts receivable file?
Recent advances in technology now make all this possible with straight-through processing.
What is straight-through processing?
Straight-through processing (STP) streamlines your receivables process and delivers an electronic A/R file to post directly to your accounting system. This eliminates error-prone and inefficient manual processes which allows you to automate the processing of check payments and remittance documents.
Increase efficiency and lower processing costs
Payment processing and reconciliation are well known headaches for businesses. Manual processes can be time consuming and inefficient. Non-automated systems for check payments, remittance documents and invoice errors delay processing, and the lack of automation leads to high costs of posting receivables to your accounting system.
