Understanding How ACH Payments Maximize Invoice-to-Cash
Getting paid faster is a top priority for supplier organizations and studies show that suppliers prefer to be paid via ACH over paper checks by almost 3 to 1. Mr. Roert Jones identifies the critical steps every company needs to know about how ACH payments streamline the Invoice-to-Cash process. As the Administrator for the ACH Network, NACHA has made ACH ubiquitous in relation to electronic payments - especially for B2B. Mr. Jones highlights those key areas that are most important to supplier organizations, such as how to leverage the value of the ACH network, how to become more attractive to potential customers, and how ACH results in faster customer payments.
