///  INEFFICIENCIES OF MAILING PAPER CHECKS

Every check you cut is a chance to cut costs.

A check costs significantly more than the paper it’s printed on. Every one comes with printing, postage and follow-up for your staff. For the person on the other end, it means a wait, and no access to their money until the check clears.

Costly to issue
Printing, postage, handling and staff time increase the cost of every check.
Lost, returned or uncashed
Problem checks come back as research, stop payments and reissues.
Slow for recipients
Mail delivery and check-clearing delays slow access to funds.
Workload and fraud exposure
Manual tracking and reconciliation pile on work, and every check in the mail is a fraud opportunity.
///  DISBURSEMENT METHODS

Five ways to pay. One partner who knows when to use each.
