Case Study: New York Film Academy achieves savings of hundreds of hours in payments processing with Edenred Pay

Higher education institution utilizes virtual cards to save hundreds of hours of time on payments processing

New York Film Academy, a hands-on higher education institution with campuses worldwide, faced a slow, manual payments process that relied on paper checks, credit cards and wire transfers. CFO Kirk Lenga sought a way to streamline workflows and control travel and recruitment spending, and engaged Edenred Pay to provide virtual card and payment-processing solutions.

Edenred Pay deployed virtual cards for travel and recruitment, then expanded the solution to accounts payable, training staff remotely and onboarding vendors through its payment network. As a result, Edenred Pay helped NYFA eliminate much of its paper‑check processing, move the majority of payments onto card, earn monthly rebate savings, and save hundreds of hours of staff time—freeing finance personnel to focus on higher‑value analytical work.
