As a workaround over the past 6 months = we have been having vendors debit one of our US bank accounts which has = led to challenges with fx, and required manual journaling.=20 =20 Today it was decided that we would begin to utilize the Vancouver Bank = of Montreal bank account for vendors to debit out of where contractually = required. Although not ideal, this will clear up any potential issues = with fx and manual journaling, as well as cease the flow of recurring = suspense items failing out during the Coupa -> NS integration. JPM has = also told us they are working on adding functionality to accept = etransfer payments which will hopefully go live in Q3.
