I recently hosted a webinar: AP That Pays: Unlock Rebates on Every Payment. If you missed it, don’t worry. I’ll walk you through the highlights and why this session matters for anyone using MHC NorthStar.
Let’s be honest: Accounts Payables (AP) has long been seen as a cost center. But what if AP it could actually generate revenue? That’s the shift we explored in this session, and it’s not just theoretical. It’s happening now.

I was joined by two experts:
- Blaine Sanderson, Senior Product Manager at MHC
- Kevin Monroe, Senior Account Executive at Bottomline
Together, we introduced Payments Plus, our new offering powered by Paymode® from Bottomline. It’s designed to build on MHC NorthStar and unlock rebates on every eligible transaction.

Imagine if your AP team could earn money instead of just spending it.
That’s the big idea behind Payments Plus. And it’s not just a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic shift that can elevate AP from back-office function to business driver.
Highlights from the Webinar
Here’s what stood out in the webinar:
1. Every payment is a rebate opportunity
We discussed moving beyond checks and standard ACH. By adding card and premium ACH options, you can turn everyday payments into revenue. It’s not just about processing, it’s about rebates.
Before: You send payments and that’s it.
After: You send payments and earn rebates on every eligible transaction.
2. You can start earning on day one
Paymode already includes over 600,000 suppliers. That means many of your vendors are already on the network. No long onboarding, no delays. You can start earning rebates almost immediately.
You can:
- Skip the setup headaches
- Tap into a ready-to-go supplier network
- See ROI faster than you thought possible
3. Proven security means you don’t have to worry
With $450B+ processed fraud-free on the Paymode network, Payments Plus handles supplier onboarding, bank verification, and fraud prevention for you. Your team gets peace of mind and time back.
You can:
- Strengthen security
- Reduce fraud risk
- Free up your team for higher-value work
4. Real ROI, real fast
We shared a healthcare example:
$150M in AP spend → $34M in rebate-eligible payments → $170K in annual rebates.
That’s not a rounding error. That’s budget-impacting revenue.
