Why Finance Teams Are Quietly Breaking Up With Their Banks

Finance Insights
If you're tired of chasing invoice approvals, logging into five portals, and getting hit with mystery FX fees you're not alone. Finofo is what happens when finance tools are actually built for finance people. Automate AP, streamline global payments, and get real visibility across entities. All without leaving your bank.

(And who they’re texting back instead)

Let’s be honest. Banks are great for what they were built todo.

Hold your money? Sure.
Give you a loan? Absolutely.
Charge you mysterious fees that show up three days later without context? Everytime.

But when it comes to actually running a finance team in 2025paying vendors, managing multiple entities, controlling FX exposure, closingthe books faster banks are just... there.

Here’s what they’re not doing:

What banks are not built for:

  • Keeping your accounts payable engine running on time
  • Giving you visibility across multiple entities without five logins and a dozen     spreadsheets
  • Helping you avoid getting crushed on FX every time you make an international     payment
  • Actually, integrating with your ERP
  • Charging reasonable fees (you’d think a $30 wire fee still came with a gold-plated     envelope)


Banks aren't bad. They’re just stuck. And finance teams have outgrown them.


So, what’s Finofo doing differently?

We didn’t set out to replace your bank. We just asked, whatif finance tools actually helped finance people?

That’s why we built one. With:

• Automated AP workflows that don’t make you chase invoice approvals like a medieval courier

• Global payments that go out same day for less than what banks charge to receive money

• FX accounts in 25+ currencies so you stop losing 3 percent every time you sneeze in USD

• Multi-entity control that doesn’t require logging into four portals like a finance-themed escape room

• ERP integrations that actually sync and stay synced


TL;DR

If your bank feels like a landline, Finofo is the iPhone.

We’re not here to bash banks. We still like them for holdingfunds and issuing credit. But if you’re a finance team trying to scale withoutpulling your hair out, Finofo is the operations sidekick your spreadsheets havebeen praying for.
