Global payments heavyweight Corpay, a mainstay of the S&P 500 and trusted by over 800,000 businesses worldwide, has launched Corpay Complete in the UK—a bold move aimed at tackling the chronic inefficiencies and fragmentation plaguing UK finance teams.

Already popular with U.S. finance leaders, the all-in-one platform has been fine-tuned for the UK market, offering unified accounts payable (AP) workflows, real-time expense oversight, and streamlined domestic and international payments—all under a single pane of glass.

The UK rollout comes at a critical time: CFOs are under intensifying pressure to cut costs, increase visibility, and automate fast, but most are stuck managing finance across disconnected tools and outdated processes. With Deloitte reporting that 63% of UK CFOs now rank cost control as their top priority, Corpay’s offering is well-timed and sharply targeted.

The Problem: Modern Finance, Manual Tools

Despite a tech-rich environment, many finance teams still run like it’s 2005. More than half of global finance pros spend 10+ hours a week just processing invoices, yet only 5% of finance teams are fully automated, according to the Institution of Financial Operations Leadership (IFOL). In the UK, just 36% of CFOs say they have real-time cash visibility.

Add to that the fact that one in three UK firms has suffered invoice fraud—often due to manual workflows—and the case for automation becomes not just compelling, but urgent.

Corpay’s Answer: Finance in One Window

Corpay Complete aims to be just that: complete. It consolidates key functions—supplier onboarding, purchase order creation, invoice capture, approval routing, expense reporting, and payment execution—into one platform, with the ability to integrate directly with existing accounting and ERP software.

Key features include:

• Mass automation of AP and expense workflows
• Custom approval flows and mobile-first access
• Real-time tracking of spend and cash flow
• Virtual card issuance with cashback up to 1%*
• Embedded FX payments to over 200 countries in 145 currencies

And unlike some finance platforms that rely on faceless chatbots or offshore helpdesks, Corpay emphasizes local UK support with a “human-first” approach.

“The timing couldn’t be more critical,” said Alan King, Group President at Corpay. “UK finance leaders are being asked to do more with less. Corpay Complete delivers control, automation, and visibility—exactly what they need.”

FX Muscle Included

Corpay isn’t just another SaaS newcomer. Its FX capabilities are industry-leading, trading $320 billion in foreign exchange annually and delivering it through a trusted global infrastructure. For businesses handling cross-border payments, that means faster, cheaper international transactions with no hidden fees and better-than-bank rates.

And while banks may offer FX as a side hustle, Corpay’s cross-border solution is core to its DNA—already making it one of the largest FX providers in the UK.

The Broader Trend: All-in-One, or Nothing

The move reflects a broader shift in B2B fintech: best-of-breed point solutions are giving way to unified finance ecosystems. Rather than bolting together separate tools for AP, FX, and expense, businesses increasingly want a single platform that does it all—ideally with deep automation, mobile access, and embedded intelligence.

Corpay Complete hits that sweet spot. It brings together decades of global payment scale with the usability and flexibility of a modern SaaS platform. And with the finance function becoming more strategic—and more resource-strained—solutions that can free up time and improve control are no longer a luxury.

With Corpay Complete, the U.S. fintech juggernaut is planting a serious flag in the UK—offering a rare combo of scale, trust, and usability. For CFOs facing rising complexity and dwindling resources, it could be the platform that lets them do more than just survive.
