Receiving payment from consumers can be even more messy than receiving it from companies. Payment by card, check, digital wallets, and cash all have challenges of their own. Whether physical or virtual, remote or in-person, each factor contributes some type of complexity. Companies with consumer customers need to simplify the complexity of handling various payment types, including the messiest form of all: legal tender – cash. Deposit and collections concerns regarding costs, liquidity, visibility, flexibility, and safety have different rankings depending upon the mode and method of collecting. This session will touch on the landscape of methods, challenges, and solutions used by companies and offered by banks and third parties:
● In-person: cash, check, card, digital wallets
● Remote: check, card, electronic

Acting in silos often comes easily to treasury, AR, and other areas, but the silo mindset is restrictive and limited. A comprehensive view, one that looks at the full process and all participants, offers far greater value for the organization and its partners. This view not only includes an end-to-end look within the company, but also includes external counterparties. “Optimizing part of the process suboptimizes the whole,” as the famous quote says, and optimizing the entire process requires an end-to-end to end-to-end look. This session explores how to:
• Improve overall treasury performance (liquidity, visibility, scalability)
• Strengthen AR (automation, reporting, defect reduction)
• Identify the parties that need to be part of the decision discussions
• Use third parties to secure trusted advice and understand leading practices

What are the use cases? How are instant payments improving and innovating the treasury functions and funds flow? What are some of the key differences, and how can payment/treasury professionals best plan to take advantage of better payments?
