The problems that AP teams face
Paying international vendors through traditional banks can be a cumbersome and inefficient process. It often involves tedious and repetitive tasks, such as manually entering the vendor’s bank details each time a payment is made and navigating the different processes and requirements for each individual bank.
This problem is compounded by the fact that invoice details, supporting documents, and related communications are typically separate from the payment processing system, resulting in constant back-and-forth between systems.
Additionally, banks provide limited visibility into current foreign exchange (FX) rates until the payment is actually executed, which may necessitate the use of a separate system to track FX rates. Finally, delays in receiving notifications for failed payments can lead to late payments and strained vendor relationships.
Stampli’s approach
Stampli Direct Pay enables efficient international vendor payments from a single system, eliminating time-consuming bank processes. Separation of duties and built-in controls reduce risks of incorrect amounts, over paying, duplicate payments, and fraud.
All activity is automatically tracked through an unbroken audit trail from invoice through payment. Real-time FX tracking and the ability to set target rates ensures you secure favorable conversion rates.
Collecting country-specific mandatory banking details simplifies international payments without needing to research individual country requirements.
