Blue Rule

 

Getting started with PayMode® requires a few set-up procedures to help ensure that making and receiving payments is secure, simple and accurate. Enrollment in PayMode can be accomplished entirely online in about 10 minutes – just click here.

During enrollment, Fleet seeks certain necessary information to facilitate the process. All requested information is input through the PayMode secure Web site.
Provide basic company information, similar to the information required to open a bank account.
Create a PayMode Account ID of your choosing. This will allow other companies using PayMode to more easily identify your company in the system.
Select the type of PayMode account(s) you wish to set-up in order to receive payments, send payments, or both send and receive payments.
Establish user access privileges for reporting, payment activity and account maintenance responsibilities.
Identify a person in your company who has legal signing authority for your company. This individual will be responsible for signing the PayMode Terms of Use Agreement that stipulates the terms of your relationship with Fleet.

Security
PayMode Account Users with proper authority will use verified digital signatures when signing payments. Your company’s digital signatures are provided through Fleet's digital certificate process, a critical component of PayMode security (see Security.)

A digital certificate represents a unique set of encryption keys that allow PayMode users to digitally sign and encrypt your electronic payments and remittance information. The process helps ensure tamper-proofing, as well as providing payment authorization, user authentication and documentation. Your users' digital signatures can ONLY be decrypted by Fleet. Fleet’s chosen certificate authority for PayMode is Digital Signature Trust (DST), the leading provider of online identification solutions, which issues the certificates to your PayMode users (see sidebar).

Authentication:
Upon completion of these enrollment steps, Fleet initiates a process of authentication for your company and your designated PayMode Users. This procedure is designed to protect both you and Fleet, and serves to identify and mitigate any potential financial and business risks.

Upon activation, your company can begin making and receiving PayMode® payments. The entire enrollment, digital certificate and authentication process can be completed in 1-2 business days.
