TORONTO, ONTARIO and NEW YORK, NEW YORK — (Marketwired) — 10/16/13 — Cambridge Mercantile Group, a leading global foreign exchange and payments company, today released its own corporate Recommendations for Success as a resource for the many businesses planning to convert their check payables to card and electronic payments within the next fiscal year.
In 2012, ACH payments volume in the US exceeded 21 billion, up 4.19 percent over 2011 according to a report from . The need for a seamless and well-managed solution that is both efficient and secure has become increasingly essential for companies as more and more adopt electronic payments. With this in mind, Cambridge has outlined the following key recommendations for companies to consider in moving forward with this technology:
Recommendations for Success in Converting to Electronic Payments:
“The growing number of companies adopting electronic payment systems demonstrates an increased awareness to the benefits of making the transition, however, the vast majority of businesses are still cutting checks,” said Chris Morris, director of payments solutions, Cambridge Mercantile Group. “As a company with long-standing experience in payments, we want to help inform those businesses that have yet to make the leap with these recommendations as a framework, and offer solutions to make the conversion as pain-free as possible. The cost savings alone are a huge incentive; for a company converting 1,000 checks to electronic payments, the average net financial benefit is approximately $120,000.00 per year.”
Chris Morris will be presenting at the Institute of Finance & Management (IOFM) Accounts Payable Expo on October 22, 2013, where he will provide an in-depth look at the advantages of transitioning from paper-based to electronic payments, as well as common pitfalls for businesses.
