The electronic payment service replaces checks, eliminates processing work and can enhance an organization’s cash flow by extending credit by more than seven weeks.
Visa Payables Automation is an easy-to-use solution that can be implemented with little-to-no IT support. It provides organizations the ability to automate their payables function by using a virtual credit card account process to make payments.
It will be available in nine European currencies: Euro, British Pound, Danish Krone, Hungarian Forint, Swiss Franc, Czech Koruna, Norwegian Krone, Polish Zloty and Swedish Krona.
Kurt Adams, president of U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems, said: "For our clients who wish to expand their payment programs outside of North America, our new payables solutions for Europe deliver a balance of global consistency and local flexibility.
