Pros
Our researchers love the lower fees compared to just PayPal payments and the variety of money transfer choices. It's dependable and our researchers get paid in a dependable manner. The ability to capture payment details and tax forms without the headache of PCI compliance has been a big help for us.
Cons
Sometimes it would be nice if more of the configuration options were available in the actual application. There are some choices and options that are not easily known unless you go back and forth with support.
Great system for the price. Overall great support when needed. Data is easily managed and we generally have a seamless AP schedule thanks to Tipalti.
Pros
Easy to manage vendor payments
Reconciliations are straight forward
Payments are easily executed
Cons
Lack of detail at times for error'd payments
Lack of integration with our primary business bank provider - Bank of America
Pros
I've used Tipalti for the last three months. It's straightforward to manage and has allowed me to pay hundreds of new contractors located in different part of the world allowing them to choose between multiple payments methods for a reasonable fee. I love that contractors can create their own account by filling out their personal, tax and bank information, I can customize the app for them to receive notifications of the status of their payments. The invoice feature is one of the most valuable to me and has allowed me to streamline the process. Customer support is excellent.
Cons
The only problems I have is that fee contractors needed to make several attempts to sign in and register in the platform for the first time; also the system does not prevent them from uploading the same invoice more than once. I would like to have the feature to create contractors massively; customer support helps me with this.
We have a very complicated payout setup that used to take up to 5 days per month to complete. After integrating with Tipalti we've been able to reduce that to 1 day a month and significantly increase the accuracy and timeliness of payouts. The functionality provided relative to the cost is a steal. While we'd love to see more customization, they're working hard to release new features and we've been very pleased with the relationship so far.
Pros
-Fairly easy to setup and integrate
-Affordable
-Good customer support
-Visibility for vendors
Cons
-Could allow for more customization
-UI is a little antiquated but works
Excellent SAS. Customer Support is top notch. Using this service has reduced our man-hours (and costs) considerably. There is a lot of back-end work to get it linked into your system but it’s worth it. We send weekly and monthly payments (qty in the thousands) and I’d hate to go back to doing this ourselves.
Pros
Excellent Customer Support, I'd rank it among the best. You can actually CALL them (!). Sometimes you have to leave a voice message but they get back to your promptly; same if you email them. Uploading payment instructions is very straightforward.
Cons
Knowing if a recipient is indeed “payable” is sometimes a bit difficult to determine. However, such recipients seem to be in hard-to-pay countries. Tipalti is always trying to improve things though.

Tipalti is a world payment system that helps companies reduce the time needed to complete huge numbers of complicated payments to suppliers globally. It takes care of the international money transfer details that differentiate throughout the world, automating the processes associated with vendor, customer and affiliate payments on a global level, letting businesses focus their resources on other areas.
The software is suitable for use by companies that deal with multiple global partners and suppliers and therefore need to offer secure payment solutions to their partners around the globe. It is ideal for large enterprises with offices and services fragmented into multiple locations, and any business in charge of mass pay-out operations that is overwhelmed by the excessive manual effort required to keep up with payment processing, tax form collection and compliance, payment reconciliation reporting, and so forth.
Tipalti handles multiple currency conversions, international money transfer, payment processing, gathers all required tax forms, integrates with all international compliance regulations so that payees are kept in compliance with OFAC, prevents money-laundering, provides sophisticated payment fraud prevention tools, and serves as a platform for communication and resolution in the case of global payment issues. Its integrated reports system ensures that finance departments can get a detailed picture of the international payments activities broken down by payment method and supplier for a given time period.
The main purpose of Tipalti is to free up company resources that were previously struggling to cope with mass payments across the world. In addition to that, Tipalti handles tax, regulatory compliance, and fraud risk while raising the overall partner experience with faster international payments, less transaction errors, more diverse payment methods and currency options, and more streamlined communication.
Tipalti can help finance departments to easily get through time-consuming tasks such as international bank transfer, collecting necessary payment info by country, utilizing different location-based payment methods, collecting and sharing of tax forms, preparing 1099s, and performing payment reconciliation and reporting.
Partner tax form collection is a time-consuming hassle and a regulatory concern with risk of fines and other punishment. Tipalti eases those worries by collecting all tax documentation directly within its payment system, making this information instantly available to the payer whenever needed. All necessary tax information is compiled in built-in 1099 reports.
Tipalti’s world payment system include a built-in database that covers over 190+ countries that is constantly updated so that payers are always up to date with constant changes to national tax laws and regulations across the world. Ongoing in-house IT payment system upgrades and maintenance costs are eliminated.
With Tipalti’s global payment system, companies no longer need to restrict the countries they have partners in, nor do they need to limit the payment methods and currencies they offer to those global partners and suppliers. Each country has very different payment regulations, so performing payments throughout the world demands serious amounts of time and energy to gather all the required information and avoid payment transaction issues.
With Tipalti, partners can select which international currency they want to get paid in, saving them time spent converting their payments to the local currency and unneeded bank fees. This makes their collaboration and experience with a partner company of the highest quality.
Tipalti’s payment processor also allows partners to choose the payment method they want to use based on their location of interest. Particular payment methods are preferred in different countries and each payment method has different information collection requirements by country so this capability provides both a better partner payment experience while minimizing the risk of payment processing errors on behalf of the payer. Supported payment methods are ACH, International ACH, eCheck, Wire Transfer, PayPal, Paper Check, Prepaid Card and Cash (via Western Union).
Where financial transactions are performed, there must be solid and clear communication. Tipalti automatically handle the communication of payment issues directly with payees to collect missing information, or to resolve payment disputes, while automatically providing all notifications to the paying company. This saves the payer time from having to directly deal with these types of payment dispute communications and ensures there are no unnecessary delays in transactions.
Tipalti’s secure payment solutions prevent fraudulent behavior by automatically checking payee records against US and international blacklists (OFAC) to avoid payouts to suspected terrorists, money launderers, and drug traffickers.
Despite payees that have previously passed these tests, they are checked again during every payment cycle according to the US government data and Specially Designated Nationals lists being updated on a weekly basis. These built-in fraud control features remove legal and financial risk. The application can even suspend or block payees and freeze their payment process.
Tipalti’s online payment solutions include an integrated reporting system offers the payer and payee full visibility of the payment process and status of each payment, while payment reconciliation and 1099 reporting significantly streamlines the close period reporting process.
Users can access reports through the application’s main dashboard, or get them delivered via email, API calls, daily FTP file updates and IPN. These reports can be used to aggregate all economical data into weekly, monthly or annual reports.
As Tipalti is utilized by many affiliate and advertising network companies, it is important to be able to track the performance and traffic generation impact of each affiliate or partner, and to pay individuals accordingly.

We've used Tipalti since their early days and have been very happy with the services and features. I was looking for a way to pay our research contractors who live worldwide. We've paid people in more than 100 countries and with that needed to improve the efficiency of the process. We also had a concern that our worldwide payments are in compliance with money transfer regulations.
Tipalti brought a terrific money transfer solution that's very efficient and supports a variety of payment options. We implemented Tipalti into our payment process and have since transferred millions of dollars worldwide.
