B2B payments are broken! At the very least, they are a paper-intensive, high-touch endeavor that requires you to risk handling supplier bank accounts, deal with escheatment, and manage supplier inquiries. AribaPay, a new and unique method of B2B payment, leverages the strengths of both the Ariba Network and the Discover Network to solve the fundamental issues that plague B2B payments and prohibit you from moving more suppliers to electronic payments.
By giving your suppliers full visibility into the payment with rich remittance and payment track and trace technology, you can virtually eliminate checks and supplier payment inquiries while outsourcing your biggest source of payment risk: supplier bank account management.
Join this session to learn how AribaPay can fundamentally transform your B2B payments process while giving your suppliers what they really want: full visibility into information needed to reconcile as well as complete confidence in payment timing.
