Click. Connect. Get paid from your enterprise customers. We built Monto for all the revenue teams tired of dealing with endless customer A/P portals. Monto is the first platform that connects with every payment portal, like Ariba and Coupa, and learns each of your customers’ billing requirements, so you can send, track, and collect invoices — from one place, in one click, with no manual work. So far, innovation in B2B payments has focused on customers. This makes payments easier for them to send, but harder for suppliers to receive. To create a world where B2B payments are truly seamless, we need it to be easy for both parties. We need connectivity. We need flexibility. We need platforms that can plug the gap between the portals customers are using, and the systems suppliers have. We need Monto.
