Are your payment systems eating into your margins?

Many finance teams and business owners overlook the hidden costs associated with traditional payment methods—processing delays, manual reconciliation, human error, bank fees, and even reputational risk when vendors are paid late. These inefficiencies stack up quietly until they become visible in shrinking margins and increased operational friction.

Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs), by contrast, offer a smarter and leaner way to move money. And with Accept/Pay Global’s EFT solutions, that efficiency comes with the security, reliability, and scale your business needs.

Traditional Payment Methods: Familiar, but Flawed

Still relying on paper checks or manual bank wires? You’re not alone. But here’s what that reliance may be costing you:

• Processing Delays: Checks take days to clear. Bank wires may depend on cut-off times and manual handling.
• High Administrative Overhead: Manual entry, reconciliation, mailing, and chasing confirmations eat up your team’s time.
• Risk of Errors and Fraud: Handwritten or manually keyed data leads to mistakes—and fraudsters still target checks.
• Poor Cash Flow Visibility: Lagging settlement means lagging reporting, leaving you guessing at real-time liquidity.
• Vendor Frustration: Late or missing payments create tension and hurt relationships that should be strategic.

In today’s environment, agility in payment operations is more than just operationally efficient—it’s financially essential.

EFT Payments: A More Intelligent Way to Pay and Get Paid

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) systems enable direct, bank-to-bank transactions that are automated, traceable, and fast. With Accept/Pay Global’s robust EFT infrastructure, businesses can:

• Reduce Payment Costs: Eliminate postage, printing, courier services, and excess wire fees.
• Shorten Payment Cycles: EFTs clear quickly and predictably—freeing up working capital.
• Streamline Reconciliation: Automated data capture minimizes errors and simplifies audit trails.
• Enable Remote Operations: EFTs are cloud-based and not dependent on in-office handling.
• Improve Supplier Relationships: Timely payments build trust and improve negotiating leverage.
• Gain Real-Time Financial Visibility: Integrated dashboards show incoming and outgoing cash flow with precision.

Real Savings, Not Just Theoretical

Let’s break it down with a simple scenario:

• A business issuing 500 payments a month via paper check can spend:
  • $1.50–$3.00 per check in materials, postage, and processing.
  • 10–15 minutes of staff time per payment for handling and reconciliation.

That’s $750–$1,500/month in hard costs and 80–125 staff hours—before you even count the risks of delays or errors.

Switch to EFT with Accept/Pay Global, and those costs drop drastically:

• Flat, low-per-transaction fees
• Automated reconciliation
• Bulk disbursement tools that cut admin time to a fraction

For most of our customers, switching to EFTs recoups thousands annually—along with time, visibility, and operational clarity.

Why It Matters Now

Economic volatility, rising operating costs, and increased regulatory pressure are forcing every business to do more with less. Traditional payment methods simply weren’t built for this kind of pressure. EFTs are.
