3 reasons to upgrade from Zip to Airbase.

Airbase simplifies purchasing in organizations for all areas including procurement, AP Automation, employee expense management, and corporate cards.

A complete platform.

Airbase simplifies purchasing in organizations for all areas including procurement, AP Automation, employee expense management, and corporate cards.

Zip is focused on the intake phase of procure-pay-close. Their virtual card offering and AP automation are very light.

Airbase has been developing AP Automation for over 5 years and has processed approximately B of payments with our platform.

Mature AP Automation.

Airbase has been developing AP Automation for over 5 years and has processed approximately $10B of payments with our platform.

Zip is new to payment processing and they lack the functionality mature companies need to satisfy their AP Automation or Corporate Card requirements.

Airbase supports payment tracking and schedules, unpaid/upcoming bills, recurring payments, payments from multiple bank accounts, auto-loading of wallet, and more.

Rich payment functionality.

Airbase supports payment tracking and schedules, unpaid/upcoming bills, recurring payments, payments from multiple bank accounts, auto-loading of wallet, and more.

Zip uses a third-party payment processor, who then pays their vendors. That causes issues with treasury management and delays the close.

It doesn’t get any easier.

Very user-friendly with lots of functionality designed for frequent users. The interface and recognition tech built in makes it so you barely have to key anything in.

Airbase + Growth Company.

Airbase has transformed our ability to efficiently process, report, and analyze all non-payroll spend. It syncs directly with our GL (NetSuite) and provides the appropriate level of financial controls for our size/stage.

Airbase we love it!

  • The accounts payable function is the best. From approvals to actual bill pay, it is super easy to use and set up.
  • We love the GL integration into NetSuite — saves us tons of time in reconciliations.
  • Virtual Cards are awesome as well. It takes seconds to set up and immediately syncs to our GL.
