Why Automate AP with MineralTree?
Improve Visibility & Retain Control
Eliminating paper and managing AP from a central platform accessible anywhere provides better visibility across user roles, business units, and locations. Real-time analytics provide insights and help you maintain better control over spend.
Increase Efficiency & Fuel Business Growth
Scaling your business with manual AP processes is an uphill battle, to say the least. Accounts Payable Automation allows you to process invoices faster with fewer errors and exceptions, eliminating friction without adding headcount.
Enhance Security & Mitigate Fraud Risk
Nobody wants to be the next headline. Mitigate external and internal risk by maximizing e-payments, creating a clean audit trail, offloading management of vendor payment details, and using best-in-class security controls.
Improve Supplier Experience
Delight your suppliers by streamlining payments with timely payments using their preferred method, enhanced remittance, and professional support from our dedicated team.
Simplify Reconciliation
Reconcile just once per payment run rather than reconciling individual payments as they are processed. With AP Automation, your business can close the books at month-end and quarter-end faster, and reap the benefits of increased cash flow and time.

You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers
Which ERP or Accounting Systems Do You Support?
MineralTree offers deep integration with many of the leading ERPs and Accounting Systems. Here are just a few of the many ERPs we support: Oracle (NetSuite, EBS, ERP Cloud, JDE, PeopleSoft); SAP, Quickbooks (Desktop, Online); Microsoft Dynamics (Business Central, Great Plains, Finance & Operations) and Sage (Intacct, 50, 100).
What is a Virtual Card?
A Virtual Card is a randomized, one-time-use 16-digit number that is authorized for a specific payment amount. Virtual Cards are by far the most secure and cost-effective option when paying your vendors. You can also earn cash-back rebates on every payment. Many of your suppliers will prefer virtual card payments as it provides faster receivables with detailed remittance, and more predictable cash flow in addition to security. If vendors don’t accept cards, no problem. MineralTree TotalAP can still optimize payments via ACH or check.
How do Vendors Get Updated When Payments are Sent?
Once you’ve authorized payments, MineralTree handles the rest. We work with your vendors to determine the optimal payment method they can accept–whether check, ACH, or virtual card. We send payment along with a detailed remittance email referencing the original invoice(s). Our Supplier Enablement team is always available to handle inquiries or update vendor account details as needed.

MineralTree can automate the capture, approval, and payment of international invoices in 130 local currencies via international wire transfers.
