“We’re pleased to add this new capability to CashPro Payments and extend the available options that clients have to initiate their cross-border low-value payments,” said Ather Williams, head of Global Payments and Global Transaction Services (GTS) Strategy. “Companies, governments or institutions that send low-value payments to international payees now have the convenience of making those transactions through the same portal they use to initiate wire transfers, make domestic payments, view their cash positions and run reports.”
“In building this new capability, we are giving our clients the flexibility to manage their low-value cross-currency payments from whichever channel best suits their needs – either our online portal or through file delivery,” said Cindy Murray, head of Global Treasury Product Platforms and eChannels. “It’s the latest development in the company’s ongoing investment in CashPro Online, which remains a signature capability of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.”
CashPro Payments also offers clients the option to initiate cross-border ACH payments from a number of currencies. For example, U.S. ACH payments can be made from accounts in Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, pound sterling, as well as other funding currencies, thus avoiding the necessity to operate a U.S. account.
With the new functionality, CashPro Payments allows companies to make recurring low-value cross-currency payments that are either business-to-business or business-to-consumer.
- Business-to-consumer payments can include: pension or salary payments, insurance claims payouts, sales incentives or commissions, rebates, royalties, or dividend distributions.
- Business-to-business payments can include: vendor and utility payments, marketing, advertising or legal payments, consulting and outsourcing expenses.
The advantages of using CashPro Payments for low-value cross-currency payments include:
- Improved satisfaction of the payees.
. By replacing wire payments, payees avoid the lifting fees associated with correspondent banks.
. By replacing checks, payees receive their funds in a more secure electronic environment.
- Improved accuracy of cash flow forecasting.
- Reduced costs as a result of replacing check and wire payments, both of which incur fees or processing costs.
- Eliminated need for local currency accounts to support international payments.
- Lower exposure to potential losses associated with check fraud.
- Improved straight-through-processing rates, resulting in reduced costs associated with investigating non-receipt of funds.
In addition to this new CashPro Payments online option, clients may continue to use CashPro Connect, the BofA Merrill filebased channel, to initiate domestic and cross-currency payments.
