PR Newswire

ORLANDO, Fla., May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Finexio, the Orlando-based company offering a smarter way to send B2B payments, was chosen by The General® insurance company to deliver electronic payments to vendors.

This relationship will allow the Nashville-based insurance company to transform how it pays vendors, which has been strictly through paper checks. Finexio's technology will help enable The General to focus on providing affordable insurance to all drivers, regardless of their accident or credit history.

"The vendors we work with are crucial to the success of our business, and partnering with Finexio will allow us to improve these relationships," says John Hollar, president and COO of The General.

"By eliminating paper checks, vendors should find the payment process more efficient. This is just another way for us to carry out our company vision of making life easier, internally, for our customers and for partners alike."

"We are pleased to support The General's initiatives of cost reduction and cash flow generation with our proprietary payment network," says Ernest Rolfson, founder and CEO of Finexio. "Their team was looking to optimize business payments execution to minimize their finance team's efforts while driving maximum returns."

Adds Rolfson, "Providing customers like The General with more options to execute business payments in a controlled and secure way will drive the majority of payments away from costly and inefficient paper checks."
