Removing the Barriers to Improving Existing Payment Processing Functionality with System Format Mapping and Integration

Do you ever look at your business processes and wonder why you use several different source systems to process payments? The answer to that question is simple. It is likely that as your business has grown, the complexity of your payment processes has, of necessity, grown as well. And, industries like Insurance, often have multiple, separate, specialized core systems for claims, policies, billing and AP. Each capable of originating the payment request. And, each having ever-changing opportunities and requirements for improving the payment process or adding additional payment method options.  No longer is simple, MICR checks the only way to issue payments. In today’s rapidly changing economy, payees demand their funds more timely and convenient. Electronic payments, virtual cards and payments to one’s own debit card are more common than ever. And, some payments are being made via payee’s cell phone numbers or email addresses as a surrogate for the actual bank account number. All of these options are far more difficult to implement on traditional enterprise source systems.

The most targeted methods of payments were checks (77 percent), credit/debit cards (34 percent), and wire transactions (27 percent). Incidentally, checks were also the payment method most likely to result in financial loss, with 45 percent of the companies that experienced a loss due to fraud reporting that checks were involved. Despite the prevalence of check fraud, the survey also revealed that fully 70 percent of B2B payments are still made via check.
