Will it affect our Vendor-Client relationship if we decline? A: This is the preferred method of payment and part of an effort to reduce checks and eliminate paper waste and inefficiencies. This will also decrease the time it takes to complete payment and is more convenient than handling a check. Q: Are there any fees associated with this method of payment? A: Payments will be processed as credit card transactions, so your standard merchant fees will apply. There are not any direct fees imposed by the client or issuing bank. Q: Are you, the Client, willing to absorb the fees? A: It is not our intention to absorb fees associated with your Merchant Service Provider. Q: Is it safe to keep the card number on file? A: The new payment process keeps that card account with a credit limit of $0 until an invoice has been approved for payment. Once it is approved, the card will be funded with the exact amount due and you will receive a remittance, which is an electronic confirmation that the card is ready to be charged. This technology makes keeping a card on file completely safe. Q: Our company policy does not allow us to keep a credit card number on file. A: Would your company allow you to maintain only the first 12 numbers on the card? For security reasons, the remittance advice, which authorizes payment, only identifies the last 4 digits of the card; upon receipt of the remittance you would have the complete card information in order to process the transaction. Q: Will the net terms change? How soon will we get paid? A: Your terms will remain the same, however, you do gain the float; funds are typically deposited within 48 hours after processing the transaction. Q: How does this affect our invoicing? What about credits and short-pays? A: Your invoicing, current procedures and client contacts will remain the same. Q: What is your billing address? A: I can give you this information now if you'd like but keep in mind that we'll also include it on all remittances so you have it readily available each time you take your payment. Q: What about past-due/outstanding invoices? A: I can assist you with those however this process will pertain to all future payments only. Q: Our company requires a Signed Card Authorization Form for every credit card transaction. A: Please send me the form and I can fill it out. Q: Will I receive payment for all of our company locations? © thomasfpepe-07 -06-12 Page 26 A: Receipt of payment will remain the same. If you currently receive one check for multiple locations, you will maintain one card number on file and the remittance will identify the appropriate location by invoice number, date and amount. If a separate check is sent to each remit-to address, a unique card number will be assigned for each location. Q: We have several people who process payments, so I don't want to give you just one person's email. A: The payment advice can be sent to more than one person if you want to give me additional email addresses. Also, some vendors establish a general email alias that will forward the remittance to several people in your organization. Q: Can you send the remittance via email and fax? A: The remittance can be sent to multiple email addresses or faxed to one number; not both. Q: I would like something in writing. Can you send me the information to share with my supervisor? A: Absolutely. I will forward a blank confirmation that includes a sample remittance and contact information. Or would you like me to speak directly to your supervisor? Q: What are the benefits to us of accepting payment via credit card? A: • Expedited receipt of cash • No collection costs associated with lost or misplaced checks • More efficient handling of exception items • Control benefit; avoid giving out bank information for ACH payments • No check processing costs • Remittance data transmitted with payment for more efficient back-end reconciliation • Invoice detail provided electronically © thomasfpepe-07 -06-12 Page 27 Supplementary Conditions Drainage Improvements at Alleyway @ 580 I Sunset Drive Improvements A.
