Today’s Payment Landscape
The following statistics are reasons that 80% of companies are converting from paper cheque payments to card-based and ACH-based electronic payments.
- 63% of organisations make over half of their payments by cheque
- 62% of organisations have been the target of payment fraud; three-quarters of that fraud is from cheques
- The cost to process one cheque is $3.00 - $5.00
- The cost to process a cheque costs 10 times more than a card-based or ACH-based electronic payment
PAYMENTS Platform and Network
Chrome River PAYMENTS provides an online platform to review, approve and administer all vendor payments regardless of payment type or financial institution. These electronic payments are safely and securely managed as follows.
- Card Only – to maximise revenue share on spend that is converted to card
- Card First – to balance revenue share on spend that is converted to card and maximise conversion to electronic payments through ACH
- ACH ONLY – to maximise conversion to electronic payments
All you need to do is enable your vendors through vendor engagement to receive these card or ACH payments from your organisation. For vendors that don’t accept card or ACH payments, we can process the cheque for you.
