For buyers — Accounts Payable

Are you actually hitting the card rebate you were promised?

Hit the rebate and extend DPO. We convert the suppliers your bank left on the table — branded as you, sent from your domain — working the whole file, not the easy slice. Zero added headcount on your team.

Done For You As You.  Branded as you, on the bank you already have. You pay when it works.

Built for the AP leader who owns the rebate number but never gets handed the conversion.

The number you're measured on

You own the rebate target — and the KPIs nobody gave you the suppliers to move.

Card conversion is the one lever that moves DPO, lifts your electronic payment mix, and drops cost per invoice at the same time. The catch: it only works if suppliers actually convert — and most never get worked.

DPO extended
Pay on the card and settle later, so payables structurally stretch. Median sits near 40 days; top-quartile teams run closer to 75.
Cost per invoice down
Card and straight-through processing replace the manual check run that costs roughly $9–10 an invoice.
% electronic up
Move spend off check and ACH and lift your electronic-payment mix above the ~68% benchmark — measured, not projected.

The hand-off vs the hub

The legacy program is a seven-step game of telephone. Ours is four.

By the time a supplier hears about your card program, it has been forwarded so many times it reads like phishing. We collapse the relay into a hub the supplier self-serves — communications that come straight from you.

The legacy hand-off

Outsourced and delayed

Communication is handed off, forwarded, and stripped of your brand at every step.

  1. You send the spend file to the bank.
  2. The bank forwards it to an enablement team.
  3. Enablement emails the supplier — three steps removed from you.
  4. The supplier (if it ever lands) completes an enrollment form.
  5. The form goes back to the bank.
  6. The bank routes it back to you.
  7. You change the payment method in the ERP — weeks later.

Slow, outsourced, and it looks like phishing.

The B2B Activate way

Direct, branded, self-serve

You stay the sender. The hub does the relay automatically — no third party in the middle.

  1. You add the supplier to the hub.
  2. The form and outreach are created automatically — branded as you, from your domain.
  3. The supplier self-enrolls on a landing page built for them.
  4. Everyone is notified automatically the moment enrollment completes.

Faster responses, more enrollments, full visibility.

Get out of the email inbox

Why your outreach dies before it reaches the right person.

The contact you have is a policy enforcer, not a policy creator. The message is three steps removed, the data is stale, and a benefit buried in a PDF from an unfamiliar sender is a spam alert — not an offer.

It reads like phishing

When the email doesn't come from your business, it checks every flag for a scam and lands in spam. Send from your own domain and the supplier recognizes — and trusts — the sender.

The contact data is wrong

Bad contact info is the silent killer of enablement. The message never reaches the right person — and a third party chasing it down has no relationship to fall back on.

It's outsourced and delayed

If a third party runs any of your outreach, you've already lost. Automated, branded follow-up — done for you, as you — keeps the campaign open and re-engaging instead of being driven to a close.

Why are you outsourcing your program's success?

Your bank worked the easy suppliers, booked the win, and handed you the gap.

The card program was sold on the rebate. Then the bank enabled the handful of suppliers that were easy to onboard, declared success, and left the rest of your file on check and ACH. You own a number you were never given the conversion to hit. We work the whole file, as you — so the rebate stops being a slide and starts showing up on your scorecard.

What they did

Enabled the obvious few and called the program a success.

What they skipped

Most of your suppliers — never meaningfully contacted.

What you own

The rebate target and the DPO gap, with no one working the tail.

The economics already favor card

On cost alone, the card wins. The reason it stalls is reach and reconciliation.

The price case is settled. Programs don't stall on fees — they stall because the long tail never gets worked and remittance never flows straight through. Here's the evidence.

82 / 12 bps

Net commercial-card cost versus 192–316 bps for check and ACH. The supplier's real cost is basis points, not three percent.

~68%

Electronic-payment mix at the average company — meaning roughly a third of supplier payments are still on paper check. The conversion runway is your DPO upside.

AP benchmark, electronic payments made

Reconciliation — not fees — is the real barrier. Suppliers accept when remittance posts straight through to the ERP.

Where AP sits in the program

You open the door. Treasury and the CFO size the dollars.

AP feels the pain and owns the rebate — but the working-capital and net-income case usually closes upstairs. Hand your team the proof, then bring in the economic buyer.

For the CFO

Rebate to realized net income

Turn the rebate your program promised into profit that drops to the bottom line, plus working capital that shows up in free cash flow — measured, not forecast.

For the Treasurer

Extend DPO, shorten the CCC

Use card to push out DPO, compress the cash conversion cycle, and free working capital without new borrowing — issuer-agnostic.
