It has now been five years since the Remittance Coalition was formed and since its founding, the Coalition has experienced tremendous growth and evolution (and they’re not done yet!). As part of its anniversary, the Remittance Coalition will henceforth be known as the Business Payments Coalition. Along with its new name, the Business Payments Coalition has also broadened their mission statement beyond remittance to encompass overall payments efficiency.
“Since it was formed as the Remittance Coalition five years ago, the Business Payments Coalition has evolved into a nationally respected organization that champions B2B payments efficiency and security. It is a true model of industry collaboration, with hundreds of active and effective volunteers from a wide variety of organizations including businesses of all sizes and types, banks, standards development organizations, consultants, software and technology vendors, and many others. By creating and publishing standards and technical reports, identifying ‘best practice’ business processes and promoting their use, educating about payment and remittance standards, and advocating ways to overcome barriers to straight-through processing, the Coalition has made real progress in achieving its goal of improving the efficiency of B2B payments across the end-to-end process.”
