NetSuite Electronic Bank Payments Features

Printed checks are inefficient, expensive to process and come with business risk. NetSuite Electronic Bank Payments saves money, accelerates collections and helps ensure vendors get paid on time.

Electronic Bank Files

NetSuite Electronic Bank Payments automates the creation of bank files for ACH payments, direct deposit, customer refunds and other electronic payment options. Payment management features allow finance teams to create multiple payment batches with different criteria, protocols and due dates. Flexible, rules-based payment aggregation reduces the risk of fraud by enforcing payment controls, like limiting the number of payments that can be made to a single vendor or employee per day. Electronic Bank Payments also supports automatic collections to settle outstanding invoices by withdrawing funds directly from a customer’s bank account.

Fraud Prevention

NetSuite Electronic Bank Payments’ Positive Pay feature delivers fraud protection by notifying your bank of the amount and payee for every check issued. Providing this information to your bank before checks are presented for payment allows the bank to confirm the check details have not been altered. And, with voided check notification, you can be sure these checks are blocked by the bank.
