How smart is automating how members pay their bills? Well.... there is a GREAT benefit to giving members options on how they pay their bills. As competition for your member's dollar and attention has increased, clubs have been loosening up on how they accept payment as a heightened member service. Today we see clubs getting very flexible and creative. Some options include Bank Draft and Credit Cards for either ePayment through a secure, password protected website or a batch processing with records kept at the club. Statements are easily emailed out (with announcement attachments) and posted online.

The great news is that these payment services payoff in the accounting office too:

* Eliminate manual processing of batches of credit cards or Bank ACH Payments.

* Easily upload a payment file and stop manually posting payments to each member's accounts.

* Does away with human errors.

* Increase cash flow -- faster billing delivery, ensure date of payment, no more waiting for members to send a check.

* Meets the "green" test - all electronic so do away with paper, printing, etc. Great way to save money.
