Latest in Payments – Virtual Cards, Real Time Payments and More!

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar on the “Latest in Payments – Virtual Cards, Real Time Payments and More!”

Money movement is undergoing rapid transformation, shifting from fast to faster to instant. The implementation of FedNow in 2023 was a catalyst and amplifier of this change. The first part of this session will explore the new “Instant Payments” category, how it differs from faster payment solutions, and what it can mean for commercial payments and collections.

The second part of the session will feature Virtual cards. Virtual cards offer a highly secure digital payment method of payment that streamlines the accounts payable process. The panel includes a practitioner presently implementing a card program and will further dig into how this payment solution can be implemented to simplify reconciliation for you and your suppliers, reduce payment costs, and create rebate revenue opportunities.
