Selecting the right payment methods and tools to send and receive payments can create market differentiation, customer loyalty, and operational efficiencies

Payments are becoming more than just how businesses move money—payments have become an important part of a solid business strategy. Implementing a robust integrated receivables or account receivables (AR) automation solution can increase straight-through processing (STP) rates and eliminate unnecessary manual intervention to apply payments.

In a new report Reconciling Receivables: The Biggest Pain Point for Businesses, research and advisory firm Aite-Novarica Group provides an overview for businesses that utilize or plan to use an integrated receivables or AR automation solution, and the financial institutions and fintech firms that serve them. This report is based on a February 2021 quantitative survey of 213 U.S.-based midsize and large businesses, as well as a survey of 81 U.S.-based businesses with annual revenue between US$100 million and US$500 million.

“To remain a preferred partner for business clients, financial institutions must provide access to the tools and capabilities that help businesses solve the biggest payments pain points,” said Erika Baumann, Director of Commercial Banking & Payments at Aite-Novarica Group. “Financial institutions (that do not currently have a solution) should consider the advantages of partnering with a technology provider that helps bring a robust solution to market quickly, through either a referral arrangement or white-labeling of a platform that integrates into existing cash management tools.”

A preview of the report is available online, and desk copies are available to qualified media. Please contact [email protected] or call Kaitlyn Labbe at +1.857.327.9442 for more information.
