A better way to pay—built for churches, parishes, and ministries

AvidXchange brings automated, secure supplier payments directly into Ministry Brands Accounting and ParishSOFT—giving faith-based organizations a dependable way to manage payments without adding complexity. Finance teams can initiate payments within their accounting system, while AvidXchange manages payment delivery and the supplier experience behind the scenes.

Across its network of more than 1.5 million suppliers, AvidXchange manages supplier enrollment, payment preferences, and ongoing engagement—including educating suppliers on payment options and providing dedicated support. This reduces the need for staff or volunteers to collect payment details, answer supplier inquiries, or manage payment follow-ups.

By replacing manual check runs, scattered approvals, and disconnected processes, organizations gain clear workflows, real-time visibility, and complete audit trails. Built-in protections like Positive Pay, OFAC screening, and 24/7/365 fraud monitoring help safeguard funds and reinforce financial integrity—so leaders can steward resources confidently and focus on ministry, not administration.
