Payments Indemnified Against Vendor Impersonation Fraud; Fraudulent Payments Stopped
PaymentWorks continues to be the only vendor management platform with a warranty for ACH vendor impersonation frauds, indemnifying billions of dollars of B2B payment transactions in 2023. Additionally, the platform stopped millions of dollars in fraudulent vendor payments for customers of all sizes, identifying bank accounts owned by fraudulent actors at more than 20 US financial institutions.
PaymentWorks EarlyPay Launched
With the launch of EarlyPay, an innovative payments and collection option, PaymentWorks customers saw an astounding 23% opt-in rate from their vendors, demonstrating significant market demand for payment acceleration. A true vendor-centric payment method, EarlyPay enables businesses to enhance working capital in a high-interest rate environment. Priced on each payment, with a sliding scale based on how quickly a vendor receives payment compared to their payment term, vendors are only charged a fee if they receive value from the service.
