Treasury Strategies Reveals Multi-Million Dollar Opportunity For Financial Institutions To Deploy Integrated Receivables

MOSINEE, Wis., Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WAUSAU Financial Systems , a leading receivables processing solutions provider, and Treasury Strategies, Inc., a leading treasury consulting firm, today released an industry-first analysis of the business case for integrated receivables (IR) for corporations and financial institutions. The whitepaper, The Case for Integrated Receivables, reveals the market opportunity for IR could translate into a nearly three percent lift in gross treasury management fees, or millions of dollars for large regional banks and tens of millions of dollars for national banks, annually.

These findings arrive for an industry at a crossroads, as corporations increasingly are seeking solutions that can streamline receivables processing, but few treasury management banks have deployed IR solutions to capitalize on the need. Treasury Strategies warns that over the next few years banks risk placing themselves at a disadvantage in a highly competitive market if they fail to deploy IR to automate and aggregate payments from multiple sources for corporations.

Specifically, corporations have expressed the desire for IR applications, including consolidated reporting, automated posting and translation, payment processing, and invoice matching and re-association.  This report marks the first time the average annual fees per component per client have been quantified for financial institutions considering bolstering IR activities.

"Although first mover banks are adopting IR, many have been struggling to understand the business case for marketing the service.  This report solidifies the demand for IR among corporations, and identifies the opportunity for banks to increase adoption through certain must-have components like automated posting and invoice matching," said Kathy Strasser, executive vice president of solution management for WAUSAU Financial Systems. "The benefits are undeniable, creating a huge opportunity for financial institutions to act now and drive greater revenue." 

WAUSAU's IR solution, Receivables360™, offers a single interface to manage the comprehensive payment demands of corporations and financial institutions alike. The solution is ideal for any corporation processing consumer-to-business or business-to-business payments, such as utility companies, insurance companies, transportation companies, government entities and nonprofits. It increases cash flow, reduces capture time, improves the handling of exception items and monitors workflow in real time, all while automating, aggregating and accelerating the entire receivables cycle, providing an immediate impact on recovery and positive bottom-line results.
