IOFM Virtual Town Hall Meeting: The B2B Payments Answer Forum

2020 was the tipping point for paying suppliers electronically.  Most organizations now make most of their payments to suppliers electronically.  And 80 percent of organizations expect to increase the volume of payments made electronically to suppliers in 2021.  But how do you convince suppliers to accept electronic payments?  What are the best approaches to paying suppliers electronically?  How do you mitigate the significant risks of payments fraud?  And what steps can an organization take to help ensure that it gets the biggest return on investment from its electronic payment initiatives?

These questions and more will be the focus of IOFM’s next virtual town hall meeting.  Bring your toughest payments questions and get the advice of our panel of experts.  And hear the challenges your peers face, and how they plan to address them, through our interactive polling questions.
