Citizens Bank to Provide New Integrated Payables Solution for Commercial Clients

New accessAP™ platform delivers latest capabilities to enhance client experience 

Citizens Bank announced that it is partnering with Priority Commercial Payments, a division of Alpharetta, GA-based Priority Technology Holdings, Inc., to offer a leading-edge business-to-business integrated payment service for its Commercial Banking clients.

Citizens’ new accessAP platform will automate the Accounts Payable process using multiple settlement types, such as virtual card, ACH, and dynamic discounting, and will deliver them to clients in a single payables experience.

The easy-to-use web interface eliminates the need for costly, paper-based payments and drives electronic-based settlement options such as Commercial Card and ACH, which can offer revenue share from purchases which generate additional value for clients.

Some key benefits for Commercial clients include improved A/P efficiency and control over payment timing; increased Days Payable Outstanding; optimized working capital; reduced fraud risk; increased cost savings; and additional card rebates – creating a new revenue stream.

Some key benefits for clients’ suppliers include improved cash flow; guaranteed payment; reduced Days Sales Outstanding; detailed remittance advice; and relief from PCI and regulatory requirements.

“Our clients want to be able to accept and make payments using a range of payment types leveraging the latest technology to make these transactions seamless,” said Michael Cummins, head of Treasury Solutions at Citizens Bank. “This is the latest in a series of significant investments we are making in our product offerings to advance Citizens’ objective of becoming a best-in-class treasury management services provider.”

“It is very satisfying that Citizens recognized the value of Priority CPX’s complete solution suite for automated payables and the value-added features it will provide the bank’s current and future corporate clients,” said Tom Priore, chairman and CEO of Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. “The Citizens team is dedicated to using the best technology available to help power and accelerate the bank’s data-enabled strategy and to deliver superior end-to-end client experiences.”

Citizens is a trusted strategic and financial partner, consistently delivering clear and objective advice. The Citizens Commercial Banking approach puts clients first by offering great ideas combined with thorough market knowledge and excellent execution to help our clients enhance their business and reach their potential.
