Trends – Electronic Payments on the Rise The percentage of noncash payments that were electronic (vs. checks) rose from 68% in 2006 to 78% in 2009. Electronic payments include ACH, credit card, debit card and prepaid card. Source: 2010 Federal Reserve Payments Study

Trends – Steadily Rising Card Spending Purchasing Card Spending in North America (in $ billions) In the past decade, purchasing card spending has quadrupled from about $40 billion annually to more than $160 billion a year.

Basics – Understanding Interchange Interchange is a transfer fee between issuers and acquirers used to maximize the growth of the payment network for the benefit of all participants. The current Interchange Reimbursement Fee (IRF) rate structure includes rates that vary by card product, processing technology and merchant category in order to reflect the economics and operational characteristics of a transaction.

Buyer Benefits | Process Efficiency/Cost Savings The average administrative cost (including sourcing, purchasing and payment activities) of a traditional purchase order based process was reported to be $93, compared to around $22 for a purchasing card transaction (a per-transaction savings of about $71).

Buyer Benefits | Rebates/Rewards Rewards: Air fare, hotel stays, gift cards Rebates: Based on level of spend Variables in rebate calculations –Issuing bank –Card brand –Merchant –Level of detail the vendor sends with the transaction (i.e., Level 3) –Size of transaction
10
Buyer Benefits | Float Gains Commercial card cycle standard is 30 calendar days with a 25 calendar-day grace period before payment is due. Card payments provide an additional 25-55 calendar days of payment float. Due to extended payment float, balances remain in your account longer in order to offset service fees, pay down debt or earn interest.
11

The Commercial Card transaction process is estimated to cost $19 per charge.

Buyer Benefits| Fraud Risk Mitigation Nine out of ten organizations (90%) that experienced attempted or actual payments fraud in 2009 were victims of check fraud. 88% reported that they believed “increased use of electronic payments for B2B transactions” was an important strategy for mitigating potential payment fraud risks. Source: 2010 Payments Fraud and Control Survey, Association for Financial Professionals (AFP).
13
Buyer Benefits | Fraud Risk Mitigation Issuing bank or the merchant typically bears card fraud related loss Payment disputes – Time to review transactions prior to money leaving your account Card insurance coverage – employee loss provisions
14
Buyer Benefits | General Ledger Integration Accounts Payable needs to enter general ledger codes for all purchases into accounting system. Online general ledger integration tools provide that capability for card transactions Expense reporting capabilities for cardholders – available through some G/L integration tools
15
Buyer Benefits | Single-Use Cards aka “ghost” cards Card number assigned for purposes of a single transaction only Number can only be used for a transaction of a particular dollar amount to a particular vendor Allows for secondary approval, which adds a control in the purchasing process
16
Supplier Benefits | Attract/Retain More Business Card acceptance can be a central component in a preferred vendor relationship. Similar to how today it is impacting retail businesses such as fast-food restaurants, card acceptance can drive new sales for wholesale businesses. Nearly half of respondents (49%) in a national survey* said that over the past five years their suppliers that accept purchasing cards have increased share of business with their organization to a greater extent than suppliers that do not accept cards. 2010 Purchasing Card Benchmark Survey, RPMG Research Corporation *.
17
Supplier Benefits | Get Paid Faster Total float on check payment – typically 5 to 7 days Total float on a card transaction – typically 36 to 72 hours
18
Supplier Benefits | Get Paid Faster Negotiated terms can also speed payments Best strategy for buyers to persuade suppliers to accept card transactions: Offer to shorten payment terms. Improved cash flow (e.g., net 15 terms instead of net 30) and strengthened customer relationship can help offset fees related to card acceptance (i.e., interchange).
19
Supplier Benefits | Ease Collections Management Take late payments over the phone Take payment by phone and enable further shipments; reduce “credit holds”
20
Supplier Benefits | Improve Payment Processing Efficiency Today’s tools allow suppliers to accept card payments online in an automated fashion. Click a button and money is in your account.
21
Supplier Benefits | Single-Use Cards Ghost cards reduce Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) exposure. PCI DSS was established in 2004 by five major credit card companies to protect against card-data breaches. If a single-use card number is stolen, it can’t be used for any transaction beyond the single transaction for which it was established (i.e., to a particular vendor for a particular amount).
