Payment Manager: One Centralised Hub

The payment lifecycle challenges

The payment life cycle for international businesses typically involves multiple bank relationships, Treasury, ERP and banking platforms or external suppliers, with different connectivity and security requirements. Spread across geographic locations and business entities, it can be challenging to maintain an accurate, granular view of the payment life cycle. Manual processes and fragmented payment systems across the enterprise leaves organisations open to a greater risk of fraud and error.

The Bottomline Payment Manager provides an effective solution to the centralised visibility and control required by Finance Managers. An integrated hub empowers users to view the status of all payments and take the necessary action to ensure seamless execution and reduce risk of fraud.
