Most people are familiar with the online bill pay feature included with their bank, but did you know there are bill payment platforms specially designed for small businesses? These systems not only print and mail checks for you, but they can do direct electronic payments with your vendors as well. The banking profile of the vendor can be managed by the vendor without you ever being involved with it. Wires, domestic and international, can all be handled within this system.

This drastically reduces the amount of time for data entry.
