Matthew Neal, Accounting Manager at LYTX, was amazed at the simplicity: "Even on the first check run, I remember being just floored: 'Wow, we just sent out fifty, sixty checks and five wires at a click of a button.' It's effortless."

The integration capabilities of iCloudAuthority allow businesses to link their systems better and reengineer outdated, manual processes. iCloudAuthority allows you to connect your NetSuite ERP to any bank worldwide seamlessly.

A study by the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) found that businesses that transitioned to electronic payments experienced an 80% reduction in fraud attempts (AFP, 2020). iCloudAuthority provides a secure, reliable solution that protects businesses from potential vulnerabilities.
