Payment Industry Trends
Purchasing Behavior and Performance (2012 RPMG)
On average, 52% of transactions under $2,500 were paid with a purchasing card
On average, 31% of transactions between $2,500 and $10,000 were paid with a
purchasing card
Average organizational purchasing card spend is expected to increase over the 2011 base
year by 8% in 2012, by 26% by 2014 and by 48% by 2016
The most common use of purchasing cards is for office supplies, MRO, computer hardware
and software and peripherals
Electronic Accounts Payable (EAP) spend grew by 67% in the two year period from 20092011 – increasing use of cards as an alternate means of supplier payment!

Card Program Fundamentals
Deployment Across the Procure to Pay Cycle
Organizations capturing the greatest percentages of transactions and spend have multiple card
programs
Non-Distributed Cards
Card Building Blocks
Distributed Cards
Employee Purchasing cards
Employee Travel cards
For smaller dollar decentralized purchasing
Reduces time for receipt and payment of goods
A lot of value for both buyer and vendors
For travel & entertainment expenses
Preferred method of payment for these vendors
Improves financial controls (SOX compliance)
Single Use Card Accounts
For one time payment vendors
XML capabilities through Web Services
Improves payment cycle time
Ghosted Purchasing cards
For preferred (contract) vendor ordering
Facilitates online ordering and payment
A lot of value for both buyer and vendors
Electronic AP cards

Traditional Point of Sale Controls
Merchant category controls (MCC)
Per transaction spend limits
Daily, monthly, & annual spend limits
Velocity limits
Management Visibility into Spend
Real time visibility into recent authorizations
Next day visibility into processed transactions
Reporting of potential exception activities
Fraud Monitoring
PNC provides proactive fraud monitoring 24x7 through the analysis of suspect
spending patterns
Utilizing an intelligent neural network that risk-rates the probability of fraudulent
transactions based on a card’s past spending history and PNC determined fraud
criteria queues
Liability Waiver Coverage
Provides insurance coverage addressing cardholder misuse up to $100,000

Card Program Fundamentals
Electronic AP Card Solutions - Overview
Assists clients with the conversion of their accounts payable payments from check to
electronic card payments
Payor-initiated solution which allows clients to produce a “card run” from their
Accounts Payable System … with subsequent settlement execution through the card
payment network
Systemic funding of vendor for approved payments
Combined with delivery of electronic remittance information
Variety of Supplier settlement solutions
Opportunity to penetrate more strategic spend

overall spend…resulting interchange
revenue sharing potential
Natural extension in payment terms
Elimination of check-based execution
costs: postage, banking fees, etc.

Card Program Fundamentals
Electronic AP Card Solutions – Key Control Considerations
Current sourcing, approval and AP processing activities are unaffected
Accounts are only funded for amounts approved and authorized
No card account details are housed within Accounts Payable environment or are
transmitted to PNC
Automated transmission of payment authorization file to PNC
No physical card issuance
PNC solutions fully PCI-DSS compliant – protecting payment details
Fraud monitoring and reporting
PNC has experienced $0 fraud across our epayables programs since inception in 2004

Value Proposition
Efficiency, Revenue Share, Float, and Other
Technology Benefits
14
Value Proposition
Benefits of Card Programs
Convenience ranks as the number one benefit of p-card programs, followed by the receipt of
rebates
*2012 PayStream Advisors
15
Efficiency
Traditional Procure to Pay Model Characteristics
Integration and confirmation of receiving function prior to payment decisioning
Forces approval and compliance of company business rules prior to payment
Complete vendor file – timeliness and accessibility to this vendor data varies by
system (more problematic in older legacy deployments)
Complex requisition rules/interface can promote maverick spending with associated
exception request for disbursement workflow – degrading A/P processing efficiencies
Expense and complexity of maintaining vendor file – particularly for one-time vendors
or other small dollar items
Generally characterized by a relative high cost to process
16
Efficiency
Charge Coding Card Transactions
GL Coding and
Transaction Splitting
Enhanced Data,
Level I, II, & III
Approval Rules and History
Review, validate and enhance transaction details
Custom Charge Coding access, transaction splitting,
complex tax estimation

Reviewed transactions will be automatically available
for Approval or Extract
17
Interchange Revenue Sharing
Accepting merchants are assessed interchange fees for access to the card
processing network (Visa, MC, AMEX, etc.)
PNC, as a Card Issuer receives a portion of the interchange and can share a portion
of the interchange they receive
Rebates paid on qualified spend – use of tiers to determine appropriate rebate (top
tier applied to all spend)
PNC can either rebates or reward models through Visa Extras
Financial proposal impacted by billing cycle length, payment terms, number/size of
expected transactions
18
Payment Float
Working Capital and Payment Float Impacts – Electronic AP Cards
Billing Cycle: Your company is able to choose any date between the 4th and the 25th of the month, or the 27th of the month,

Payment Optimization Strategies

While it is not feasible to pay all suppliers with card, by deploying a payment
protocol model of card first, ACH second, and check last, Company’s can
migrate toward an optimum payment mix.
