Centime, a Boston-based fintech that offers comprehensive cash management and banking solutions to small to midsize businesses (SMBs), announced an innovative approach to Accounts Payable (AP) automation that goes beyond the basic promise of ROI. Centime’s new offering not only streamlines the AP process but also provides businesses with an opportunity to earn cash-back interest, transforming AP functions into profit centers.
Although most finance professionals know that automating AP can reduce the administrative burden of manually processing invoices and payments, most AP bank accounts are non-interest-bearing, meaning valuable funds sit idle without generating any income. This is a missed opportunity for many businesses. Traditional AP processes focus on earning rebates on virtual card spend, but they often overlook a more powerful and easier way to generate financial returns on the funds held in AP accounts.
That’s why Centime is reimagining the AP automation landscape with a groundbreaking new offering that includes a high-yield bank account that actually earns the business cash back on AP spend. This solution helps businesses recoup the entire cost of Centime, and even turn a profit on their AP spend, in addition to the cost savings and efficiency gains from eliminating manual processing.
“We understand the financial constraints that businesses are facing right now, and the importance of demonstrating tangible ROI that actually puts cash in your bank account,” said BC Krishna, CEO and Founder of Centime. “That’s why we’re packaging our AP automation solution in a way that not only streamlines operations, but also gives you a clear path to recouping your spend, and even turning a profit on AP, right away. On average, clients earn $10,500, covering the cost of automation and more.”
With Centime‘s combined solution, businesses get a best-in-class, AI-powered AP automation solution, alongside a fully liquid, high-yield operating account that earns 4.25%** on AP funds, transforming their AP function into a profit center without the time to value on traditional virtual card rebates.
