Achieving Payments Straight-Through Processing

Payments are accelerating. However, efficient digital payments are not just about speed.

Confidence in automation – knowing your payments will go through first time, every time, and without manual intervention – is where digital payments technology leaves the others behind.

The key to offering your customers a seamless payments service is to eliminate inaccurate and incomplete data from the payments process and achieve Straight-Through Processing (STP). Doing so will prevent inefficiencies – including unnecessary repairs, delays for the customer, rejections, and fees – making faster payments a reality.

Explore the resources below to learn about the latest payments trends and how you can optimise your STP rate.
