Navigating the evolving payments spectrum

Featured speakers Kevin Permenter of IDC and Justin Main of Billtrust

The bi-directional portal advantage

Optimize both sides of the transaction with your customers. Business Payments Network (BPN) allows you to present invoices to portals your customers use and automatically capture their payments.

Invoice into AP Portals

Deliver invoices to your customers’ portals while leveraging data from your ERP, and see the status of customer invoices. 170+ leading AP portals are already connected with easy onboarding of new ones.

Your digital lockbox

Rather than opening emails, files and web portals from customers that pay via ACH, wire and credit card payments, BPN automatically retrieves and consolidates remittance information for you. Funds are transferred and remittance is transmitted without manual intervention.

There’s an easier way to pay and get paid

Invoice status updates

Make your customers’ AP portals work for you by capturing insights into the status of your invoices. Know when your buyer approves, disputes, cancels or pays any submitted invoice, and cut down on chasing updates.

Credit card payments

Make emailed credit card payments go away with automation that processes credit cards delivered to you through Outlook and Gmail while saving you money with Level 2 & 3 interchange rates.

Administrative portal

Get a real-time view of invoices delivered and payments processed to supplement daily reporting. You can search for payments across date ranges, download data into Excel, fix credit card exceptions and re-run the card without delay.

Campaigns to grow electronic payments

BPN can help suppliers run campaigns to their buyers to encourage them to move on from paper checks and embrace electronic payments. The proprietary Billtrust Business Directory contains over 1.3 million B2B buyers already paying Billtrust suppliers by ACH or card.

Programmatic payment preferences

BPN enables suppliers to programmatically enforce acceptance policies like maximum card payment amounts. This reduces phone inquiries from payables providers, as well as rejected payments that don’t meet supplier preferences.

Optimized payment channels

BPN provides payment flexibility for both buyers and suppliers by processing and automatically gathering remittance for ACH, wire transfer and credit card payments.

“We utilize BPN to enable businesses on both sides of the transaction to streamline their payment processes.”

Jeff Burik, Senior Vice President, Commerce Bank

“We like the security and speed of virtual card payments, but we didn’t have the manpower to process them quickly. Now with BPN, we can scale up easily without adding headcount. Cash application is more accurate, and customers are happy.”

Brooke Valentine, Accounting Manager, SmileMakers

“Billtrust has been a great addition to our credit card process. In addition to gaining a headcount that no longer focuses on manual credit card entry, we were able to lower the fees associated with card payments.”
