Global Batch Payments with ApprovalMax for Airwallex. Prepare, Approve, and Pay.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Following the ApprovalMax and Airwallex partnership announcement in the UK in April 2023, both companies are excited to share the extension of this integration to the Australian and New Zealand businesses from today. The announcement coincides with Xerocon Sydney, one of the largest accounting events of the year in Australia, where both ApprovalMax and Airwallex are exhibiting at the ICC on the 23rd and 24th of August.
The expansion into the Australian and New Zealand markets will allow accounting partners to provide clients with a comprehensive solution that streamlines financial controls and approvals for international payments and processing through the combination of ApprovalMax and Airwallex's advanced financial technology.
Airwallex batch payments in ApprovalMax allows users to create a batch of payments, submit them for automated approval processing, and use Airwallex as the payment method, all from within ApprovalMax.
This offers a seamless solution for businesses seeking greater control over their finances and the end-to-end accounts payable cycle by streamlining the entire process from preparation, approval, and payment. The integration also gives accounting firms the ability to manage client payments without requiring access to their bank account, and having to handle manual file uploads, thereby saving time, reducing errors, all while tightening financial control points.
“When batch payment approvals are managed by ApprovalMax, it transforms the way finance teams collect duly authorised invoices for batch payments while ensuring a controlled and seamless integrated data flow," said Helmut Heptner, Co-Founder and Director of Operations, ApprovalMax.
"The vision behind our collaboration is for ApprovalMax and Airwallex to work together in order to take away the burden of manual approvals and payments. Businesses are required to implement robust financial controls in a world of connected digital processes where cyber security threats are increasing. Now we are helping Australian and New Zealand businesses get to a stage where they can approve and make faster payment runs. This leads to better business efficiency and happier suppliers in the long run.”
“It also allows us to take our partners' service offering to the next level, by significantly improving their clients’ experience while not taking on any additional risks where payments are concerned.”
“As businesses expand globally they need an end-to-end financial solution to facilitate fast, affordable payments while creating a frictionless customer experience,” said Luke Latham, General Manager for Australia and New Zealand at Airwallex.
“Together ApprovalMax and Airwallex are making this a reality. This integration will not only simplify batch payments but also help businesses save on FX when paying employees and suppliers in their preferred currency. We’re excited to be partnering with ApprovalMax to further support businesses as they look to scale globally.”
