Tipalti
Tipalti automates global supplier payments for enterprise finance teams.
Tipalti is a global accounts payable automation platform that enables mid-market and enterprise companies to pay contractors, employees, suppliers, and vendors across 190+ countries in 120+ currencies. The platform automates the entire payment workflow—from supplier onboarding and invoice processing via OCR to multi-step approvals, payment execution, and reconciliation—eliminating up to 80% of manual AP work. Unlike payment processors focused on collections (PayPal, Stripe), Tipalti specializes in mass disbursements, handling compliance, tax forms, and local regulatory requirements at scale.
Problem solved
Finance teams spend hundreds of hours manually processing supplier invoices, managing approvals, executing payments across multiple channels, and reconciling transactions—tasks that don't scale as companies grow internationally.
Target customer
Mid-market to enterprise companies with 100+ suppliers or vendors across multiple countries; finance and accounting departments managing high-volume, multi-currency payment operations.

Global Supplier Payment Automation
A SaaS company with 200+ contractors across 30 countries uses Tipalti to automatically process invoices, validate tax IDs, execute payments in local currencies via preferred methods (bank transfer, check, card), and reconcile transactions—eliminating manual data entry and reducing payment cycle from weeks to days.
