Using disparate systems to budget, track, and approve spend is all too common and leaves finance teams scrambling at month-end to reconcile payments. Not to mention that 81% of companies still use paper checks and invoices to pay vendors often resulting in data entry errors and late payments.* Modern businesses deserve a better, more scalable solution for managing vendor relationships and payments. One that combines the speed and accuracy of AI advancements with the control and rewards offered by [virtual credit cards ](https://www.brex.com/resources/how-virtual-credit-card-works)and other modern payment methods.

If Brex AI can’t find a match, Brex will display the open POs associated with that vendor for manual selection. Plus, AP managers can manually search for POs when processing an invoice. Just type in a few characters or the vendor name, and Brex will surface key PO inputs like PO number, date, and amount for AP Manager review. If a PO already has some spending attributed to it, Brex will surface the remaining amount available. Brex customers report massive gains in efficiency by streamlining this process, rather than having to manage them separately. ### Header Start benefiting from Brex bill pay today. ### Text Using Brex bill pay will bring unprecedented efficiency and visibility to your financial operations.
