What is Payhawk?
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.
What is Tremendous?
Tremendous now lets senders cancel a digital reward within 30 minutes
Tremendous sends rewards and payouts. Recent changes: orders can be cancelled and refunded up to 30 minutes after sending, Canadian teams can fund accounts in CAD, and the catalog added 65+ local gift cards across nine countries with limited payout options. Text-message delivery ended for Austria and Finland under local carrier rules. Earlier came Cash App instant payouts and co-branded Virtual Visa pages.

Payhawk adds SWIFT payment tracking and a DualEntry ledger sync as ERP coverage widens
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
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.
Tremendous
5.0FINANCE
Tremendous now lets senders cancel a digital reward within 30 minutes
◆ Current state
Tremendous sends rewards and payouts. Recent changes: orders can be cancelled and refunded up to 30 minutes after sending, Canadian teams can fund accounts in CAD, and the catalog added 65+ local gift cards across nine countries with limited payout options. Text-message delivery ended for Austria and Finland under local carrier rules. Earlier came Cash App instant payouts and co-branded Virtual Visa pages.
◆ Where it's heading
Coverage is expanding by currency and country, while controls for senders, from read-only API keys to cancellation, keep accumulating.
◆ Prediction
More local-currency funding or regional catalog batches look likely, following CAD and the nine-country addition.
