Get More with Less- Go Paperless

april-2015-header

In today’s business world, it’s all about more.  More time, more money and my personal favorite, more holidays!  But, when it comes to paper, we can all agree that we want to use less.  In a perfect world, we could get all the “more” that we want and still use less paper. I don’t want to go as far as saying our world is perfect but there is an ideal solution available right at your fingertips…electronic payments!

Electronic payments save you time by streamlining your payments process (you’ll have more time), they are cheaper than the price of a stamp (more money) and they allow you to email payments for approval while away from the office (more holiday time).  And the best part is electronic payments are paperless – eliminating paper cheques and envelopes (more green!).

Find out more by joining a webinar on Telpay’s electronic payments solution.
