Digital transformation is bringing a host of new opportunities thanks to technologies such as cloud computing, AI, big data analytics, block chain and the Internet of Things (IoT). They promise much, including the ability for insurers to create new products and services to better meet changing customer demand, as well as boosting efficiencies and reducing costs. Nowhere does digital transformation have the potential to benefit insurers more than in the B2B payments space. The payment of suppliers is a vital part of the claims process, but historically it’s been riddled with inefficiencies that hurt the bottom line, open insurers up to potential fraud, and threaten to sour relationships with suppliers and customers.
The good news is that digital end-to-end systems already exist to take the inefficiencies out of B2B payments. By moving away from cheques, ACH payments and manual processes to automated electronic payment systems such as Virtual Account Numbers (VANs), insurers can cut overheads, improve efficiencies, reduce the risk of fraud and generate bottom-line revenue.

Pushing Back on Payments Fraud
Authorised push payment (APP) fraud cost UK businesses £126m in 2018 and losses are set to grow as more scammers look to cash in. It’s relatively easy for them to trick finance teams into paying fake invoices and suppliers, and there are few repercussions.

Time to consider VANs

Backed by major card schemes like Mastercard, they generate unique numbers for each transaction – improving security and control – and reconciliation is automatic and immediate, reducing overheads and manual errors.
