Why Mid-Market Teams Are Replacing FIS Integrated Payables with Centime

FIS IP handles payments—but leaves everything else to spreadsheets, portals, and bolt-on tools. Centime unifies AP, AR, forecasting, and banking in one platform embedded in your ERP.

FIS IP Users are Switching to Centime. Here’s Why.

Embedded in Your ERP – Not Bolted On

Centime is fully embedded in NetSuite and Sage Intacct, and deeply integrated with QuickBooks for real-time sync and visibility. FIS IP sits outside your ERP and relies on custom file uploads, leading to batch delays and broken workflows.

True Automation, Not Just Outsourced Processing

Centime automates every step with AI invoice capture, smart workflows, and full GL coding. FIS handles payments—but your team still manually codes invoices, chases approvals, and reconciles data.

Unified AP, AR, Cash Flow, and Banking

Centime goes further—consolidating your receivables, payables, treasury data, and business bank accounts into one place. FIS IP is just AP.

Enterprise Capability, Without Enterprise Overhead

Centime delivers 7–21 day onboarding, rapid ERP connection, and white-glove support—no consultants needed. FIS IP requires heavy IT lift, file-based integrations, and lengthy onboarding.

Real ROI: The Only AP That Pays You

With Centime, your AP isn’t just automated—it’s profitable. Earn 2.25% APY†† on funds set aside for AP spend when you use Centime’s banking solution.

Centime Replaces Disconnected Tools with One Embedded Platform

When AP, AR, and cash forecasting live in separate tools, finance teams waste hours reconciling disconnected systems. Centime changes that—bringing every workflow under one roof, fully embedded in your ERP.

  1. AP Automation with built-in payments
  2. AR Collections and customer portals
  3. Real-time cash forecasting and treasury insights
  4. Business banking and credit lines—all in one login
