MineralTree AP Automation

MineralTree is a cloud-based accounts payable and payments automation platform designed primarily for mid-market finance teams in North America. The product, now part of Global Payments, digitizes the full invoice-to-pay cycle: invoice capture via email and OCR, coding, multi-level approval routing, two- and three-way PO matching, and integrated B2B payments across ACH, virtual card, wire, and check. A key differentiator is its embedded payments network and SilverPay/virtual card rebate program, which lets customers monetize AP spend while outsourcing payment execution and supplier enablement to MineralTree. The platform offers tight pre-built integrations with mid-market ERPs including NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, and Oracle. MineralTree is best suited to US-based mid-market companies looking to reduce manual AP work, gain visibility, and earn rebate income on supplier payments without ripping out their ERP.
