Case Study: Kings County Office of Education achieves $100K+ in annual rebates and reduced check costs with FIS Integrated Payables

Kings County Office of Education Leaving the Check Behind with Move to Virtual Cards

Kings County Office of Education, which oversees 13 K‑12 school districts, faced the operational burden of a centralized accounts payable process that relied on weekly paper checks—creating printing, mailing and staffing costs—and struggled to move vendors to ACH because many would not share bank details. To address this, the county chose FIS and its Integrated Payables solution to enable virtual card payments as an alternative to checks.

FIS implemented its Integrated Payables platform along with a vendor enrollment program and integrated outreach campaigns to convert vendors to single‑use virtual cards, allowing the county to flag invoices for card payment and send one weekly payment file for execution. As a result, FIS helped Kings County Office of Education migrate about 17% of targeted payments to virtual card, generate over $100,000 in annual rebates, cut check printing and mailing costs by $2,300, reduce vendor calls to one–two per week, recoup implementation costs within months, and free AP staff to focus on strategic projects.
