Treasury Solutions Geared to Make a Positive Impact
You worked hard to build your business and make it successful. But you may have discovered that operating costs increased as the business grew. You may also realize that financial transactions are becoming more tedious as the business has become more complex.
With our range of treasury solutions, we aim to provide seamless and efficient financial transactions, improved cash management, and cost savings for your business. Our Treasury Management Services are intended to simplify your operational processes and better position your business for long-term growth and success.
Consider key services that may help you reduce costs and support continued growth.
Accounts Payable Services
Accounts Payable is often a time-consuming area for growing businesses, especially if there are a large number of vendors, projects, and outstanding invoices to manage. Our Accounts Payable Services automate the A/P process, which may enable your business to trim operating costs while improving the payment process.
For example, migrating check payments from manual checks to electronic ACH payments can save time and resources. Think about how much time your business currently spends printing manual checks, waiting for them to be signed by your company’s authorized signatory, mailing checks, and reconciling manual checks with accounting. Plus, you may have to deal with other issues such as lost checks, stop payments, and check fraud.
Transitioning to ACH Direct Credits provides your company transaction security, ease of use, and enhanced reporting abilities, all through a user-friendly online banking platform. Your business gains a seamless and cost-effective method for processing payments and account reconciliation without sacrificing productivity.
In addition to ACH Direct Credits, other tools offered under our Account Payable Services include:
- Electronic Tax Payments: Pay state or federal taxes in a secure and timely manner to avoid late tax penalties.
- Bill Pay: Remit recurring or one-time payments electronically for all outstanding operating bills, such as rent or mortgage payments, utilities, or other business services.
Through our Accounts Payable services, your business can reduce inefficiencies, avoid late fees and penalties, take advantage of early payment discounts, and minimize labor costs by outsourcing tedious processes.
Accounts Receivable Services
For your business to enjoy healthy cash flow, you first need a streamlined and efficient Accounts Receivable (A/R) process. Our Accounts Receivable Services offer tools that may help your business expedite receivables, minimize outstanding payments, and improve accuracy.
Choose from our wide range of A/R tools to support positive cash flow for your business:
- ACH Direct Debit: Promptly and securely collect electronic payments for monthly services, membership fees, dues, or other recurring collections.
- Lockbox Services: Have your customers directly mail payments to our secure P.O. Box, where our Treasury services team members capture remittance documentation, prepare and deposit all payments received, and provide daily reports of completed payments.
- Merchant Processing Services: Accept debit and credit card payments through a partnership with our third-party provider. You may receive payments faster while giving your customers a safe and secure payment method.
By optimizing Accounts Receivable, you may gain the ability to have more accurate reporting on cash inflows, easier customer account reconciliation, and fewer payment delays or errors.
