79% of organizations faced fraud attempts in 2024, led by business email compromise.
Enterprise payment processing is evolving fast, but for many organizations, real-time visibility still feels out of reach. In our latest Jon Myer podcast episode, Christopher Belford, Senior Executive at EPI-USE Services for AWS, explores how finance leaders can bridge the gap between digital payments and ERP systems — and why the old ways of reconciliation just don’t cut it anymore.
From reducing manual work to detecting fraud before it hits your bottom line, this episode is a deep exploration of the disconnect between perceived and actual real-time payment processing. It also examines how organizations can build the infrastructure to close that gap and move forward into the future of enterprise payment processing.

Finance by Exception, Not by Process: Manual reconciliation burns time. Find out how organizations can shift to exception-based operations that flag only the outliers, saving hours and improving accuracy.
“Now that we have this real-time view and we can see what's coming in and what's going out of the organization, we can start to put protections in — in terms of fraud protection and anomaly protection — and really have a much more robust posture in terms of how we're dealing with accounts receivable and accounts payable.”
