Reference: Chrystal Bryant

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter as a reference for Chrystal Bryant, Avis Budget Group (ABG). I worked directly with Chrystal from approximately 2008 – 2021, for most of that time I was Chrystal’s immediate supervisor. Chrystal has been recognized as one of ABG’s subject matter experts in all facets relating to remittance processing, providing the department training to internal associates when the process was maintained in- house, as well as providing the initial and ongoing training to the TCS offshore teams that took over the processing. Chrystal managed the daily processing of the TCS staff, ensuring all quality / quantity metric SLAs were met monthly.

Here are just a few of Chrystal’s notable successes in her role as Supervisor- Remittance Processing Governance:

• She organized the development, testing, and implementation of Bank of America's Intelligent Receivables solution (IREC) for payment processing. She collaborated with KPMG, BOA High Radius, Oracle Fusion Support, and FileNet Teams to implement the product. She managed the administration of the IREC tool; matching account, MICR, remittance details with open balances to improve auto-match criteria. Her efforts translated to dramatic process enhancement with the advanced match rates, effectively making the process much more efficient.

• She guided all aspects of the Quote to Cash (QTC) cash application transition to Oracle Fusion. She oversaw the existing account balance reconciliation and migration related to payments, ensuring all short pays, overpays, and unapplied amounts were appropriately accounted for. After the transition, she created standard operating procedure documents, and trained staff on the use of the new receivable system.

• She led an Initiative to consolidate 4 bank lockboxes, contributing to $60K in annual cost savings. As mentioned, those are just a few of the successes that come to mind for Chrystal. She is a diligent, dedicated leader, and was a key contributor to ABG’s Va Beach Shared Services Center success. I am a strong proponent of Chrystal enhancing her career, and I am confident she will continue to maintain a successful path of achievement.
