How it works
Finexio identifies in-scope suppliers (likely card acceptors) and allows you to modify the list
When Finexio sees a payment come through for providers targeted for CBM, Finexio will send a card via USPS in lieu of a check
Suppliers receive and process their payment as they would any other card payment
Finexio closely monitors all card by mail payments to ensure they are processed
You can always see CBM payments and their status 24/7 on Finexio’s portal
Finexio will make several attempts to reach suppliers who were mailed a card, but have not processed it
Finexio has a formal campaign and follow-up schedule to ensure payments are processed in a timely manner
Finexio tracks and records all interactions with your suppliers giving you complete transparency
If suppliers do not process the card and we are unable to reach them, Finexio will reissue that payment in form of a check and mail it
Supplier Segmentation
CBM targets your non-strategic suppliers that are likely card acceptors helping drive additional card adoption.

Electronic payments like virtual card work to improve daily working capital by increasing cash flow due to expedited receivables. Virtual cards improve on the inefficiencies of paper checks, that come with addressing, mailing, tracking,remittance, etc.
Paper checks also hold the highest end-to-end cost, between $4 and $10, and often higher. Electronic payments are more secure as check fraud and postal service reliability are growing issues, with an average of 75% of organizations experiencing check fraud each year.
The Supplier Payment Program is an electronic accounts payable process that enables suppliers to receive ongoing payments with a single-use card number delivered via email. Suppliers receiving payments enter the card number into their card payment system each time an invoice is paid. The card number is valid for one payment only and expires after each use.
A virtual card is a single-use, non-reloadable, digital card issued to a supplier via email. It includes a secure payment number that uses the same network as a debit or credit card transaction. Virtual cards have less risk and costs associated than issuing check orACH, plus they’re easily accepted by any supplier already accepting cards through their bank or merchant services provider.
Simply enter the email you provided during the enrollment process to open the secured card. Then, enter into your point-of-sale (POS) terminal the 16 digits displayed on the card. If your POS terminal requires the CVV or expiration date, those will also be provided on the card after opening it. The payment will process as soon as the information is entered, and you will receive payment within your standard credit/debit card settlement process
