Overview
Bottomline is a payments technology company, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that connects businesses and financial institutions to banks and payment networks. The company states it processes more than $16 trillion in payments annually across roughly 92 countries, and operates a Swift Service Bureau alongside its own payments and cash management platforms. Bottomline has been a privately held portfolio company of private equity firm Thoma Bravo since the acquisition closed in May 2022.
For corporate treasury and finance teams, the relevant Bottomline offering in this category is its Global Cash Management Hub, which consolidates data from connected banks, treasury systems and ERPs into one cash position and reporting view, alongside its Financial Messaging and Connectivity Services, which route payment instructions and bank statements between a company system and its banks over Swift and other channels. The company separately sells Paymode, an accounts-payable and B2B payments network with its own ERP integrations, and a suite of cash-management and digital-banking products sold directly to banks and credit unions.
Bottomline positions the Cash Management Hub as a faster, lower-cost alternative to a full treasury management system, citing implementations in as few as 12 weeks, and layers in AI-assisted cash forecasting plus an AI assistant it calls Bea for navigating account data.
