Remittance Matching FAQ

What does Deluxe’s Remittance Matching solution do?

Remittance Matching, a component of Deluxe’s powerful Deluxe Receivables, is a straight-through-processing service that automatically matches incoming electronic and paper payments to open invoice remittance details from your accounts receivables (AR) processing system using machine learning and sophisticated algorithms.

Why is a remittance matching solution critical in helping automate receivables?

Corporations have sought a way to improve their payment and invoice matching solutions for all payment streams, particularly for new electronic streams. Most importantly, they are in need of an end-to-end solution that matches remittance data to electronic payments. Today, corporations receive payments without remittance details and then must manually find the remittance detail in separate systems, such as email. This can waste valuable person-hours, delay cash application and result in errors.

How can remittance matching benefit your AR department?

Remittance Matching allows you to adopt new payment methods and support greater transaction volumes without adding headcount or managing a different process for each payment type. The advanced artificial intelligence that powers Remittance Matching even makes same-day posting possible. Keep current with customers, dramatically reduce DSO and bring cash to your balance sheet faster.

How do you measure straight-through processing?

Straight-through processing (STP) is a rate calculated by looking at the amount of manual vs. automated steps within the accounts receivable process. A business with a 100% straight-through processing rate relies solely on an automated process without any manual intervention. The crucial reason to understand this rate is to follow up on the percentage that is not straight through. Your business can then identify the room for automation and improve those rates. Learn more about straight-through processing.

What kind of straight-through processing rates can I expect when using Remittance Matching?

When using Remittance Matching as a stand-alone application or as part of the platform, customers report unrivaled efficiency, with straight-through processing rates up to 95%.

What is the formula for DSO calculation?

When examining a company’s AR process, Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is calculated by counting the number of days between the issuing of the statement to the closing out of the statement. This time includes the date the statement was sent, the date the payment was received, the date the money was applied to the bank account and the final date when the statement was posted to the system. DSO fluctuates depending on the amount of automation vs. manual steps in the accounts receivable process. For example, if the cash application process is slow, it results in more time being added to your DSO, which is very important in terms of the ability to use your money.
