Round Treasury launches first end-to-end Treasury-to-Supplier Payments workflow, solving one of finance’s biggest blind spots

London, UK | December 2025

Round, the unified AI-native platform for treasury, payments, and finance operations, today announced the launch of its Supplier Payments suite. This first workflow connects cash management, treasury, invoice approvals, funding, payment execution, and reconciliation in one continuous automated chain.

Built over twelve months and shaped by more than 1,000 customer interviews, the launch addresses a structural issue facing companies worldwide: treasury and AP run on disconnected systems, creating operational gaps, idle cash and unnecessary manual work.

A fragmented workflow is costing UK businesses billions

UK companies hold more than £597 billion in deposits, yet a significant share remains in low or zero-interest accounts, especially within the SME segment. Recent studies estimate £149 billion of SME cash is sitting in non-interest-bearing current accounts. It is liquidity that could be earning, protecting, or planning, but instead remains static.

The gap persists because treasury, cash forecasting, and supplier payments still live in separate systems. The result is a manual relay race:

• Finance teams spend 30 - 40% of Supplier Payment time coordinating payments across spreadsheets, ERPs, inboxes, and bank portals.
• Late payments are often driven by approval delays and a lack of clear cash visibility.
• No mainstream tool connects liquidity, timing, payment terms, and execution, leaving a break between where money is held and how it moves.

Round’s new workflow eliminates that divide by connecting decisions, timing, and movement in one place.

Treasury aware Supplier Payments: cash works until the moment it moves

Round connects every step of the supplier payment lifecycle in one system:

1. Invoices arrive through upload, email forwarding, or direct sync from Xero or NetSuite.
2. AI extracts and validates supplier details, dates, and line items.
3. Approvals follow configurable roles, limits, and audit trails.
4. Round funds and executes the payment automatically using treasury or operating cash.
5. Each transaction reconciles directly back into the ERP.

With treasury and supplier payments natively connected, companies can:

• Keep cash earning yield until the precise moment payment is executed.
• Run thousands of supplier payments a month through one approval workflow.
• Pay suppliers exactly on their terms without manual timing.

“Our customers were clear. The disconnect between treasury and supplier payments was costing time and money,” said Pac O Shea, Co Founder and CEO at Round. “Supplier Payments closes that gap. You approve once and Round handles funding, timing, and execution.”

AI-native automation that executes, not just analyses

Unlike tools that use AI only for document reading, Round is AI-native: its intelligence sits atop infrastructure that can move money, not just process data.

“AI native means our system understands the entire money movement lifecycle,” said Hayyaan Ahmad, Co Founder and CTO at Round. “It can take action because Round owns the execution layer, not only the workflow.”

Part of Round’s unified money movement platform

Supplier Payments extends Round’s existing capabilities, including:

• Real-time multi-bank cash visibility
• Treasury automation across savings and investment products
• Centralised payments and approvals
• Liquidity management rules and automated withdrawals
• Native integrations with ERPs (Netsuite/Xero)

Supplier Payments is available in early access, with phased onboarding for select teams.
