PROGRAM DETAILS:        

 

Topic: Transaction Mitigation & the New Technologies 

Transactions today are migrating to easier, personal fraud interactions.  What do your clients expect in processing their payments to you and what is the potential fraud impact?      Faster payments and real-time access to data deliver valuable benefits to you, your customers, and your suppliers, but when you have little time to detect and prevent fraud, risk is escalated. In our increasingly connected world, malware and viruses can spread globally in an instant. Learn about the impact on finance of this increasingly time-driven environment and discuss how to balance the need for speed with safeguarding your assets, your brand and your customer data. We will also explore cutting edge technologies and how they may be utilized in the future.

Topic:  “AFP Electronic Payments Survey Results   

 

The move towards electronic payments for corporates in the United States has been a slow process. The paper check has prevailed as a major payment method for Business-to-Business transactions even as the development of faster and real-time payments have become operational. The move away from legacy payment structures can be complicated and costly. This session will highlight findings from the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) 2019 Electronic Payments Survey and will not only share insights to what inroads electronic payments have had in the corporate space, but also discuss benefits as well as barriers for corporate adoption of electronic payments.
