small business toolkit

July 11, 2018

This resource was created for small businesses and the bankers and advisors who serve them in order to encourage more efficient and safer payments processes by small businesses, as well as to provide education on payments fraud prevention. It is a project of the Business Payments Coalition (formerly the Remittance Coalition), a group of organizations and individuals volunteering to promote greater use of electronic business-to-business (B2B) payments and electronic remittance data exchanges. The team that produced this toolkit included bankers who serve small businesses, business practitioners, software and technology service providers, representatives from the Federal Reserve Banks, electronic payments networks and others.
