CHARLOTTE, N.C. and KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AvidXchange, Inc. a leading provider in accounts payable (AP) automation, offering intelligent AP software and payment solutions for mid-market businesses and their suppliers, today announced an exclusive partnership with Ministry Brands, a leading provider of church management software and online giving tools. Together, the two companies will offer churches and nonprofits a more efficient, secure way to manage and pay their bills, freeing up time and resources for ministry.
AvidXchange’s automation technology will integrate seamlessly into Ministry Brands’ suite of financial and digital tools to simplify payment processes for their network of over 90,000 churches and nonprofit organizations. This collaboration offers a faster, more efficient way to manage payments, allowing shared customers to save time and shift more focus to mission-driven priorities. With real-time tracking, church staff, volunteers, and other community leaders gain greater visibility and reliability across the entire payment lifecycle.
“Churches and nonprofits often run lean on resources and outdated systems slow them down,” said Dan Drees, President at AvidXchange. “This partnership is about closing that gap—eliminating manual work so they can operate more efficiently. We’re excited to build on our proven success in the nonprofit sector, enabling organizations to achieve more with less and stay focused on their mission.”
Ministry Brands chose AvidXchange for its leading supplier network, payment platform, and nonprofit expertise, further strengthening AvidXchange’s presence in mission-driven sectors. The partnership delivers a fully digitized payment process, increasing transparency across systems and offering more control than traditional paper-based methods. Customers will also gain enhanced security features that help reduce payment fraud risk, including eliminating check processing, along with real-time data and reporting that provide deeper insight into financial operations.
“We’re excited to collaborate with AvidXchange to bring meaningful innovation to the churches and nonprofits we serve. Managing finances and administrative tasks can pull focus away from their mission, and this partnership allows us to offer solutions that help teams operate more efficiently and stay focused on serving their people. Together, we’re delivering tools that make a real difference,” said Chris Bacon, CEO of Ministry Brands.
