Viewpost Wins Coupa Award for Revolutionizing B2B Digital Payments

LAS VEGAS, NV – May 14, 2026 – In a significant nod to the accelerating digital shift in corporate finance, fintech provider Viewpost was honored as the Coupa Pay Digital Payments Partner of the Year at the Coupa Inspire Partner Summit 2026. The award recognizes Viewpost's pivotal role in helping enterprises eliminate the persistent inefficiencies of paper checks through a deeply embedded solution within Coupa, the industry-leading platform for autonomous spend management.

The recognition, presented at the prestigious annual summit in Las Vegas, highlights a powerful collaboration aimed at solving one of the most stubborn challenges in business-to-business (B2B) commerce. While digital payments have become the norm in consumer life, a surprisingly vast and costly river of paper checks continues to flow between businesses, creating operational drag and significant fraud risk.

The Lingering Trillion-Dollar Problem

Despite decades of technological advancement, the paper check remains a deeply entrenched fixture in B2B transactions. Industry data reveals a startling reality: nearly half of the estimated $24 trillion in annual B2B payments in the United States are still conducted via paper. A 2024 Federal Reserve survey found that 73% of businesses continue to send or receive checks, a figure that underscores the inertia and systemic challenges preventing full-scale digital adoption.

This reliance on paper is not without substantial cost. Independent market analysis estimates that the all-in cost to process a single paper check can range from $4 to as high as $20, factoring in materials, postage, and the intensive labor required for printing, mailing, and reconciliation. In contrast, an electronic ACH payment costs a fraction of that, typically under a dollar. For many organizations, these costs represent a significant and often overlooked drain on resources.

Beyond the direct costs, paper checks represent a critical security vulnerability. Financial industry reports consistently identify checks as the payment method most susceptible to fraud. In 2024, a staggering 63% of organizations reported experiencing attempted or actual check fraud. From mail theft to chemical “check washing” that alters payee and amount information, the physical nature of checks exposes businesses to risks that are largely mitigated by secure digital alternatives.

A Partnership Forged in Digital Transformation

Coupa's recognition of Viewpost is more than a simple accolade; it is a validation of a strategic partnership designed to tackle the paper check problem head-on. As a leader in autonomous spend management, Coupa’s platform is powered by an immense dataset of over $8 trillion in business spend, providing AI-driven insights to a community of over 10 million buyers and suppliers. For a partner to receive a premier award within this ecosystem signifies deep integration and proven value.

“We are thrilled to recognize Viewpost as an award winner at the Inspire Partner Summit 2026,” said Greg Harbor, Chief Partner Officer at Coupa. “Their commitment to driving innovation and delivering exceptional results for our mutual customers, while helping businesses drive margin growth and future-proof their operations, reflects the true spirit of partnership that we value at Coupa.”

Viewpost’s technology is not merely an add-on but is embedded within Coupa Pay to power its “Payment Optimization services.” This integration allows Coupa customers to seamlessly transform their existing check payment runs into more efficient, secure, and even revenue-generating digital transactions. The award places Viewpost among an elite group of partners, including global giants like Accenture and Mastercard, recognized for their contributions to Coupa's mission of creating a more resilient and efficient global supply chain.

How Viewpost's Engine Turns Cost into Revenue

The core of Viewpost's innovation is its proprietary payments engine, which specializes in the real-time conversion of B2B checks into electronic payments, particularly virtual credit cards. The solution is designed for minimal disruption, a key differentiator in a market wary of complex and costly IT overhauls. Instead of requiring businesses to rip and replace their existing accounts payable systems, Viewpost’s technology intercepts the standard check file that a company already produces.

At that precise moment—when a payment is being issued—the engine dynamically offers suppliers the option to receive their payment electronically. This timing is critical, as it captures the supplier when they are most motivated to consider a faster, more secure payment method. If the supplier opts in, Viewpost converts the payment to a secure, single-use virtual card, eliminating the paper check before it is even printed.

“This recognition highlights the impact of combining innovation with seamless customer experiences,” said Matt Miller, EVP Head of Partnerships at Viewpost. “Together with Coupa, we’re helping organizations transform traditional check payments into efficient digital transactions without disrupting existing workflows.”

This process delivers a dual benefit. First, it eradicates the direct costs and fraud risks associated with printing and mailing checks. Second, and perhaps more compellingly, it turns a cost center into a revenue generator. The use of virtual cards generates cash-back rebates for the paying organization, a new stream of income that can often offset the original cost of check processing by 30 to 40 times or more.

The Future of Integrated B2B Payments

The Coupa-Viewpost partnership exemplifies a critical trend in enterprise software: the fusion of broad management platforms with specialized fintech solutions to solve granular, high-impact problems. As businesses increasingly seek to automate financial operations and build more resilient supply chains, the ability to digitize every step of the procure-to-pay lifecycle becomes paramount.

The award signals a shared vision for a future where B2B payments are not just digital, but intelligent. By embedding Viewpost's conversion technology directly into its autonomous spend management platform, Coupa enables its customers to optimize payments without adding complexity. As Harbor noted, the companies “look forward to achieving Coupa’s ambitious goals and driving success in the future.” This collaboration serves as a powerful model for how strategic alliances can accelerate the final phase of digital transformation, finally moving the business world beyond the paper check.
