How it Works

Western Alliance’s Payer Direct Hub^® uses the VISA card network to facilitate payments with a virtual card assigned to each supplier or vendor. After the client has received and approved an invoice, a transmission is sent to Western Alliance indicating payment amounts for each supplier’s card. PDH uses the VISA network to either “push” supplier payments via straight-through process direct depositor send suppliers secure payment notifications that suppliers can use to “pull” their own payments. Lastly, the client receives reconciliation files and the supplier receives immediate notification and electronic remittance.
