VersaPay Shares The Podium With Customers And Partners At Investor Forum
TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2019 /CNW/ - VersaPay Corporation (TSXV: VPY) ("VersaPay"), a leading provider of cloud-based invoice-to-cash solutions including electronic invoice presentment and payment, automated accounts receivable, cash application and collections management, is pleased to announce that it presented to a capacity audience at its Investor Forum held yesterday in Toronto.
The Forum was attended by a range of enthusiastic participants. Presentations were delivered by VersaPay partners, clients and company CEO Craig O'Neill. During his presentation Mr. O'Neill announced that VersaPay had just signed a new partnership agreement with US Bank. The deal leverages the respective strengths of the two companies to offer AR automation to US Bank's commercial real estate customer portfolio. Additionally, there were four key themes that arose from the event.
The Era of Customer-Centric AR has arrived: Customers' expectations of their vendors are higher than ever – and these expectations are driving the end-to-end customer experience, including the invoicing and payment process. Thanks to great online consumer services for shopping, banking, travel and customer support, business customers are now demanding similar services – offerings that are online and available 24x7, for fast, efficient service. This is further validated by clients. "Those customers that are experiencing VersaPay right now have voiced how excited they are about the platform," stated John Shamanis, CFO, Carrier Enterprise. "From a customer experience stand point this is one of the best options I've seen," said Traci Leffel, Director of Finance, Rocket Industrial.
B2B digital payments are taking over from checks: Two thirds of businesses are now receiving more than 30% of their payments in a digital format, based on a recent study profiled in the Harvard Business Review. Banks, fintechs and the world's leading payment networks have launched major initiatives to drive the adoption of digital payments. VersaPay has experienced growth of 394% in electronic payment volume since the beginning of 2018.
Awareness of the AR Automation opportunity is increasing daily: IDC recently launched the inaugural MarketScape for Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Accounts Receivable Applications, naming VersaPay a Leader in the space. As market awareness builds, the number of companies looking for a solution continues to scale as demonstrated by inbound leads and the increasing number of qualified opportunities in the sales funnel.
VersaPay is well positioned to capitalize on these trends: The company has developed the leading solution for Customer-Centric AR and has achieved strong momentum in key vertical markets. Two leading North American banks, a global credit card brand and ERP companies have selected VersaPay as their strategic partner to address the significant AR Automation opportunity with their clients. "We're very thankful for our clients and partners who participated in our investor forum today," commented Craig O'Neill CEO of VersaPay. "Their presentations served to underscore our conviction that the era of Customer-Centric AR has arrived, and VersaPay is at the forefront of this movement, helping suppliers deliver a great customer experience in how they bill and collect payment."
