It can cost up to $20 to process each invoice for payment, and that’s when things go well. Our partnership with Cass ensures you get top tier service and your bills are processed and paid accurately. From receipt to payment is just three days, allowing you to avoid late fees and shut-off notices, saving your staff time, and you money.
