Several businesses have started automating their accounts payable (AP) processes. However, talking of the actual scenario, numerous companies have not yet adopted AP automation. They still prefer using paper receipts and invoices for payments. So, although AP automation is becoming popular, why are businesses still hung up on using paper checks?
Yes, indeed, paper checks are still popular! Here’s why:
A study in 2013 by the Pew Research Center showed that 54% of young adults (18-29-year-olds) opt for online banking, while 40% of adults aged 30-49 years and only 14% of adults aged 65 years prefer online monetary transactions. AFP (Association for Financial Professionals) survey showed that approximately 77% of financial fraud commits using paper checks. According to the AP Automation report, invoice automation can reduce costs by 81% and increase efficiency by 73%. Applications like GetMyInvoices import invoices from multiple sources like Amazon and over 10,000+ portals, which reduce manual waiting time, and delays in getting invoices from all your partners.
