Zone & Co has unveiled a new feature that streamlines financial operations for businesses worldwide. By leveraging its newly launched Zone AP Payments tool, finance teams can now manage invoices, payments, and reconciliations within their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This development offers a one-stop solution for handling both domestic and international financial transactions and is a step forward in the company’s efforts to simplify business payments.
In the past, businesses struggled with cumbersome processes for managing global payments, often resorting to disparate systems for various financial functions. Zone & Co seeks to address these challenges with Zone AP Payments, developed in collaboration with TransferMate, which integrates multiple financial functions into a single platform. This partnership is a significant step for businesses that previously contended with fragmented payment systems and associated inefficiencies.
What is Zone AP Payments?
Zone AP Payments is a global payment solution introduced by Zone & Co in collaboration with TransferMate. Built to handle complex invoice and payment processing for over 200 countries and support 140 currencies, it allows ERP users to make and track payments seamlessly. The integration aims to consolidate steps in accounts payable processes, reducing what was once a multistep task into straightforward transactions.
How Does This Affect Finance Teams?
Zone AP Payments is designed to enhance the capabilities of finance teams by offering efficient payment processing without compromising on speed or control. The tool enables same-day payments both domestically and internationally, a feature highly praised by industry leaders.
“We designed Zone AP Payments to unify every step of AP and empower our customers to scale with confidence,” remarked Zone & Co CEO, Thomas Kim.
The solution also presents competitive foreign exchange rates, simplifying financial operations for businesses.
The entry of TransferMate’s global payments network into the system highlights the shift towards integrated financial solutions. As expressed by TransferMate CEO Gary Conroy,
“Together with Zone & Co, we’re making it possible to move money anywhere in the world instantly, securely and with complete transparency.”
This alliance highlights the evolving landscape where financial speed and transparency are prioritized.
With Zone AP Payments being one of several financial tools offered by Zone & Co, the brand strengthens its ecosystem of ERP-native solutions, including ZoneCapture and ZoneApprovals, both of which enhance financial record accuracy and approval processes respectively. The company’s acquisition of OCR capabilities through Staria further enhances its standing in the procure-to-pay solution domain, establishing a comprehensive suite of financial management tools.
Furthermore, the comprehensive report “From Back Office to Strategic Powerhouse: AP’s Transformation in 2025” notes an industry-wide shift toward automation in AP processes in ERP systems. This aligns with Zone & Co’s offerings, illustrating a commitment to synchronizing financial operations with real-time data across departments.
Zone & Co’s increasing integration of various financial management tools within the ERP system reflects broader trends toward efficiency and ease of use in corporate financial operations. As companies continue to adopt comprehensive solutions like Zone AP Payments, barriers to global financial transactions are diminishing, signaling a future with more streamlined global business operations.
