systems in your business? If you\u2019ve been looking for a way to simplify your payment processes, then now may be the time to look at a\u00a0mass payment system. The benefits such platforms offer range from streamlining your money flow to an added layer of security for you and your customers. Here\u2019s a look at five reasons to move your business forward into the world of mass payments.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Simplified Payments<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mass payment solutions are designed for businesses with a high volume of payments. Even if you don\u2019t think you\u2019ve met that threshold, such a payment setup still has advantages. They can be used to coordinate recurring payments of any amounts or to schedule one time payments. What makes a mass payment system different is the simplification of the process. Using such a platform enables a company to make simultaneous payments with as little as one or two clicks. It\u2019s a way of streamlining the process when your business demands sending payments to multiple vendors or customers at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cost-Effective International Payments<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/cost_effective_international_payments.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"524\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/cost_effective_international_payments-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/cost_effective_international_payments-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/cost_effective_international_payments-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/cost_effective_international_payments-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/cost_effective_international_payments.png 524w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While some mass payment solutions focus on domestic payments, options are available for companies whose business transactions cross international borders. PayPal, for example, offers payments in 24 different currencies to 156 countries.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some systems allow payments to be sent to the recipient\u2019s bank accounts through phone numbers and email addresses. This can help avoid the costs of wire transfers or other fees. Another component to be aware of is limits on the amount of individual payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nevertheless, mass payments offer an easier option for companies trying to take their payouts digital. Where older transfer systems sometimes took days to process, up to date international payments can often be handled in under a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Growth of Digital Payments<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many businesses and consumers are moving away from using cash. So as digital payments increase, so does a business\u2019s need to structure high volume payments such as customer rebates or employee benefits. Experts estimated the number of digital transactions is increasing with growth expected at a rate of about seven percent per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Digital payments are expected to be a $2 trillion industry in 2020. As business trends shift more and more to a global economy, experts say the need for businesses to have mass payment solutions in place only increases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Studies have shown that digital transfers\u2014whether purchases or payments\u2014are the preferred transaction style for millennials. Add to that the growing global penetration of the internet, and it makes choosing a mass payment solution a logical choice for your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Streamline WorkFlow<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"723\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1-500x332.png 500w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1-600x398.png 600w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1-700x465.png 700w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/streamline_workflow-1.png 723w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a mass payment platform enables a business to use one system to send and track payments. It cuts out the multiple steps of a paper or individual payment system. As your business grows, your payment platform enables your accounting department to keep abreast of changes very often by shifting the input of information to the customer.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Systems can be set up to send emails automatically, letting customers know where they are in the payment process. Since payments are scheduled automatically, it also eliminates the possibility of getting behind schedule on customer payments. Maybe most relevant for a growing business \u2013 as your customer base increases, a mass payment platform grows along with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Simplified payment structures and the flexibility for growth mean you won\u2019t have an accounting department bogged down with a backlog of work or in need of additional employees to get the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Documentation and security<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"891\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-400x267.png 400w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-700x467.png 700w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/04\/documentation_and_security.png 891w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another reason a mass payment system may be the best decision for your company has to do with keeping your business practices accurate and secure. Many systems are set up to automatically identify and sort the tax information you need every year.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, you need additional options in place that ensure your payment and financial information meets banking redundancy and regulation requirements. Also vital for you and your clients is the confidence that your platform will protect their personal information and prevent data breaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hyperwallet, for example, adheres to payment card industry (PCI) data security standards. The standards were designed to decrease credit card fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No matter the mass payment system you choose to use in your business, make sure their security is top-notch. Protect your business and your customers against the hazards of a data breach. Mass payment systems make sense for any company that regularly sends out a large volume of payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>NLPA Library:<\/strong>\u00a0Looking for authoritative\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\"><strong>procurement templates, tools, webinars<\/strong><\/a>, and more?
