Payhawk adds SWIFT payment tracking and a DualEntry ledger sync as ERP coverage widens
Payhawk keeps shipping small finance-control and integration releases. Since late October it has added an activity log for linked cards, a native DualEntry ledger integration, listings in MCP directories so AI tools can connect to it, and end-to-end tracking of outgoing SWIFT payments. Earlier October work covered travel policy checks against market rates, self-serve audit confirmation letters and tax-rate visibility limits.
Procurement-to-pay tool is squeezing latency out of AP — bulk pay, in-line edit, pay-on-approval.
Procurify is shipping a steady stream of AP-team velocity improvements: Bulk Payment Preparation, an at-a-glance progress view on order requests, Advanced Bill Filtering, in-line bill editing in Beta, Pay-on-Approval for Bill Payments, and Bulk Approve Payments. Earlier in the window, Approval Pools, Direct Debit for Bill Pay, and an AI Intake for Orders early-access program all landed.

Earlier October work covered travel policy checks against market rates, self-serve audit confirmation letters and tax-rate visibility limits.
The pattern is steady: one more accounting system per month (NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Rillet, now DualEntry) plus controls that let finance see who changed what and where money is. The MCP listing is a first, thinly described step toward AI assistants reaching Payhawk data.
Expect further ERP and ledger connectors and more audit-trail views across cards and payments. The entries say too little about the MCP listing to predict whether a fuller AI integration follows.

The product is being optimized for high-volume AP and procurement teams, where the bottleneck is no longer feature breadth but the number of clicks per invoice processed. In-line editing, bulk approvals, pay-on-approval, and approval pools collectively compress the steps between bill entry and money out the door. The AI Intake for Orders early-access feature is the directional bet for where the cycle goes next — turning unstructured order requests into structured intake automatically.
Expect AI Intake to expand out of early access and likely a parallel AI capability for bill ingestion (OCR-plus-LLM) given the in-line edit groundwork. Direct Debit support is likely to see broader regional/banking expansion. Approval pools will probably grow into more nuanced routing rules.
