Pay from an invoice

Pay from an invoice

Already have a bill to pay? Upload the invoice and SiFi reads it for you — pulling out the partner, amount, and payment details automatically — then drafts a payment for you to review. No re-typing.

💡 Who can do this: Anyone with the Make payments permission. Payments may need approval depending on your company's settings.

How it works

  1. Add the invoice — upload a file or forward it by email.
  2. SiFi reads it — the partner, amount, due date, and bank details are pulled out automatically.
  3. You review — check the details and correct anything that needs it.
  4. Send — confirm, and the payment goes out the same way as any other.

It's the fastest way to pay when you're working with bills or invoices.

Add an invoice

You can add an invoice two ways:

  • Upload: Go to Payments → Invoices, click Add invoice, and select a PDF or photo.
  • Forward by email: Send the invoice to your company's SiFi invoice inbox address. It appears in Invoices automatically, ready to review.

💡 Tip: Clear, full-page scans or PDFs read most accurately. Crooked photos or partial screenshots may need a few manual corrections.

Review the draft payment

Open the invoice to see what SiFi pulled out:

  • Partner — matched to an existing partner, or you can create a new one in one click.
  • Amount and currency.
  • Bank details — the IBAN or account the invoice should be paid to.
  • Invoice number and due date — kept with the payment for your records.

Check each field against the invoice. Anything SiFi isn't sure about is flagged for you to confirm. Correct anything that doesn't look right before continuing.

💡 Note: Always confirm the bank details match the invoice. This is your moment to catch errors before money moves.

Send the payment

  1. Choose the payment method — internal, local, or SWIFT, depending on where the partner banks.
  2. Review the fee and expected arrival time shown on screen.
  3. Click Send — or Submit for approval if your company requires it.

The invoice stays linked to the payment automatically, so your records remain matched and easy to reconcile.

Good to know

  • The invoice stays attached. Every payment keeps its source invoice, so reconciliation and audits are simple.
  • You're always in control. SiFi drafts the payment, but nothing sends until you review and confirm.
  • Works with any method. Once details are confirmed, paying from an invoice follows the same flow as a normal transfer.
