Centime sprouted from roots planted by MineralTree. But we’re growing way beyond basic AP automation.
Unlike MineralTree, Centime embeds directly into NetSuite and Sage Intacct for the best seamless experience with real-time sync. No duplication, no sync errors.
Centime gives you better cash visibility across all your finance operations. Our AI-powered AP solution comes with built-in cash flow forecasting and cash KPI tracking, plus Accounts Receivable, Expense Management, and Business Banking in the same platform.
On average, MineralTree users who make the switch are up and running with Centime in just 7–21 days. Rated Best Implementation and Best Support by G2.
Centime is the only AP solution that gives you the power to earn 2.25% APY†† on vendor payments, including check and ACH — no virtual cards required.

No, Centime is not a part of MineralTree. However, Centime was founded by BC Krishna, the original founder of MineralTree, after he sold the company in 2021. Centime was built with a broader vision beyond AP automation, unifying AP, AR, forecasting, and banking into a single platform.
Unlike MineralTree, which relies on basic connector integrations that cause sync delays and manual workarounds, Centime is fully embedded in NetSuite and Sage Intacct. This means real-time data sync, no duplicate entries, and no reconciliation headaches, ensuring a seamless, more reliable experience.
Traditional AP processes focus on managing vendor payments efficiently, but they often overlook the potential for generating financial returns on the funds held in AP accounts. Centime offers a groundbreaking solution: an AP bank account that earns interest on deposits. By simply maintaining a target balance, businesses can turn their AP function into a profit center. This innovative approach allows businesses to leverage their existing vendor payments to generate additional income, offsetting costs and boosting working capital.
Centime offers a smooth migration process with dedicated support at every step. Unlike MineralTree's slow adoption process that requires IT lift, Centime provides hands-on onboarding with a dedicated success manager to ensure a hassle-free transition. The entire process can be completed in as little as 7-21 days.
Implementation with Centime is fast and efficient—most businesses are fully onboarded within 7-21 days. This includes hands-on migration support, ERP connection, and training, ensuring a quick and seamless transition.
Centime is more than just an AP tool—it's a fully integrated finance platform. Unlike MineralTree, which is AP-only and requires third-party payment processors, Centime combines AP, AR, cash flow forecasting, and banking into a single, seamless system. This means businesses can manage cash flow, automate AR collections, and optimize vendor payments—all from one platform.
Yes! While Centime offers a complete finance platform, businesses can start with AP automation and expand into AR, banking, and cash flow forecasting as needed. Centime provides the flexibility to scale without requiring third-party tools.
