Tipalti Launches New Solution for Global Payments
Tipalti, a global payables automation platform, this week announced the launch of Multi-FX, a new offering that further streamlines the global payables process for modern finance teams. The new solution will give Tipalti customers the ability to fund their virtual Tipalti account once in a single currency, and then be able to convert that money to the necessary local currency before payouts occur. Businesses often need operating accounts in multiple currencies in order to ensure they always have enough funds to cover payments. Companies with multiple subsidiaries often need to regularly fund those diverse geographic divisions so they can make local currency payouts, such as for payroll, taxes, or general expenses. This new solution should help customers as they will no longer need to buy foreign currency on spot in order to execute global payouts. With Multi-FX finance groups can use Tipalti to save significant time that would otherwise be spent working across various banking systems to fund entities and convert currencies prior to making payments. The ability to make seamless international payments in multiple currencies will enable companies to spend time focused on more strategic initiatives.
