Tipalti’s fully-brandable global mass payables automation solution for performance-based business models minimizes manual effort, maximizes self-service, and dramatically increases scalability and auditability. Here’s how it works to elevate your finance team.
1
The most critical step comes first: onboarding your partners to ensure they’re payable.
You invite partners to register on a white-labeled IFRAME portal to provide their contact, billing details, and tax identification.
- The responsibility is on the partner to provide information, incentivizing them to do it right in order to be paid.
- This step is vital to ensuring that no one is paid that your business hasn’t authorized.
- Seamless brand experience
- Deepen partner relationship
- Collect and verify tax IDs

[Optional] Partners are validated with the Tipalti Detect™ risk module to reduce potential fraud.
Mitigate payee fraud exposure with proactive detection.
- Track relevant datapoints (e.g. contact details, account numbers, emails, and payments).
- Identify suspicious payee activity.
- Maintain suspicious activity records
- Check every payment made to partners

- Emails come from your business and have your branding to ensure trust
- If there’s a problem, the email prescribes a solution, often asking the partner to update or provide additional information through the portal
- Reduced payment inquiries
- Proactive communication

Reconciliation happens in real time.
Once the payment lands and clears, Tipalti is automatically updated with the successful result. No manual bank reconciliation is required.
