PayMode
Blue Rule

 

PayMode® is the electronic business-to-business payment solution that can lower costs, build stronger relationships with suppliers and customers, and provide a way to better manage cash and working capital.

The PayMode Process:
In the following example, assume you are making payments against a number of outstanding bills and invoices as part of your regular accounts payable pay run.

1. An authenticated PayMode User (see Enrollment) imports a payment file directly from your accounts payable system into PayMode. The remittance information associated with each payment is also accessed directly from your accounts payable and other systems, and imported into PayMode.
   
2. PayMode creates a digital payment authorization (DPA) for each payment in the file, and includes details such as your company’s PayMode Account ID, the payment amount, your desired disbursement bank account, and the PayMode Account ID of the company being paid.
   
3. After reviewing the transaction details, the PayMode User (or other authorized signer), clicks the "sign and send" button. The user's digital signature is applied to the DPA, the DPA is encrypted, and the payment is securely transmitted to the PayMode transaction engine.
   
4. The DPA is received and the settlement process is initiated. The DPA is authenticated against your company’s previously established business rules and the digital signatures are validated.
   
5. Payments are then sent through established interbank settlement networks, where your specified bank account is debited and your suppliers’ bank accounts are credited. Upon settlement, notification emails are sent to you and each supplier you have paid.
   
6. While payments are moving through the PayMode and settlement networks, both you and your suppliers can view and track the payments from beginning to end through the PayMode secure online reporting function.
   
7. At the time of settlement, suppliers receive the remittance information associated with each payment, as well as notification of settlement. Suppliers can download remittance files in a number of file formats or upload them directly into their accounts receivable systems for posting and reconciliation.
