A/P Cards State of Texas User Conference

6 © 2005 JPMorgan Chase and Co. All rights reserved. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Member FDIC. A/P Cards Keeps Existing Purchasing Controls in Place  Ability to place larger transactions on a card, taking advantage of the processing efficiencies of card transactions, and still maintaining the same oversight of those transactions  Purchase orders are still processed in the same manner  Only change in procedure is the method of payment  Generates up to 60 days additional float on your funds  Eliminates check payments and costs associated with issuing checks  Ability to capture smaller dollar transactions that should have been placed on the card at the point of purchase  Recurring transactions lend themselves well to this type of payment

7 © 2005 JPMorgan Chase and Co. All rights reserved. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Member FDIC. A/P Cards Process Flow  Accounting receives invoice approved for payment  Accounting contacts the vendor to arrange for payment with the card  Payment is flagged in the system as paid via card so no check will be issued ―This may require the use of “wash” accounts or a special mapper to flag the transaction as paid and remove the encumbrances  Detailed records are maintained and forwarded to an approver  Approver reviews the transactions online daily and compares to the transaction documentation provided by accounting  Approver is responsible for allocating the transactions

8 © 2005 JPMorgan Chase and Co. All rights reserved. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Member FDIC. A/P Cards Impact on Business  Process is quick and easy  Reduces number of calls inquiring about payment  Very useful for vendors who have difficulty applying payments correctly Card Management  Cards are issued in an individual’s name for security  Cards have very high limits so that large dollar purchases can be accommodated  Due to high limits, plastic should be stored in a secure place or destroyed  Posted transactions should be reviewed daily

A/P Cards Pitfalls and Challenges  Identifying which vendors will accept commercial card payment ―JPMC can provide a vendor match  Liquidating encumbrances  Persuading vendors not to send invoice ―Could result in double payment ―If they send invoice it should be marked “PAID” or show a zero balance due

11 © 2005 JPMorgan Chase and Co. All rights reserved. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Member FDIC. Vendor/Ghost Cards Manage Purchases with High Volume Vendors  Ability to capture and monitor transactions with high volume vendors and recurring transactions  Reconciliation is less tedious  Recommended for Level 2 and 3 vendors that are able to pass cost center or other required accounting information in the Point of Sale field. This allows transactions to be automatically allocated to appropriate unit or cost center when using online reconciliation  Level 3 vendors provide invoice level detail  Simplify audits  Reduction of compromising card numbers  Cards are restricted to use at the particular vendor reducing exposure to external fraud

Department Cards Allows Capture of Missed Card Spend  Cards are issued in the name of a department  Ideal for locations with high turnover as it lessens the amount of time spent on card management  Works well for departments with low volume users  Minimizes the number of cards issued  Reconciliation is done by a “card manager” so there are less people to train on reconciliation procedures
