Emburse Pay Release Notes October 30, 2026

This release adds Canadian recipient options, cross-currency quoting and release from the Awaiting tab under Payment Management, self-funded accounts with stronger release controls, and clearer fee and exchange-rate visibility. These changes build on the unified Emburse Pay workspace released on October 30, 2026.

Highlights

• Canadian recipients: Add a Canadian recipient with EFT bank details or with Interac using an email or phone number and a security question. The recipient syncs to Airwallex.
• Cross-currency quote and release: Quote a cross-currency payment group for 15 minutes and release it from the Awaiting tab under Payment Management at that rate.
• Self-funded accounts: Open a self-funded account and view funding sources and wire instructions in Funding.
• Awaiting Release for self-funded payments: Self-funded groups waiting on funds appear in Awaiting Release. Release checks wallet coverage and exchange quotes for cross-currency groups.
• Fees and exchange estimates: See fee totals and exchange-rate estimates in your funding currency on Payment Management lists and payment details.

Features

Canadian Dollar Recipients

You can add a Canadian recipient with EFT bank details, or with Interac using an email or phone number and a security question. After you save the recipient, it syncs to Airwallex for payment processing.

Who is it for: Accounts payable and finance administrators who pay Canadian vendors or recipients through Emburse Pay.

Cross-Currency Quote and Release

When you pay recipients in more than one currency, you can request a cross-currency quote that remains valid for 15 minutes. Release the payment group from the Awaiting tab under Payment Management at the quoted rate. The release dialog displays each currency's exchange rate and the correct You Pay amount when one group pays more than one currency.

Who is it for: Finance operators and accounts payable specialists who release cross-border or multi-currency payment groups.

Self-Funded Accounts

You can open a self-funded account that becomes active with its receiving bank details. The Funding and balances view shows funding sources and wire instructions so you can confirm available funds before you release payments.

Who is it for: Finance administrators who fund Emburse Pay payments from pre-funded wallet balances rather than direct debit alone.

Releasing Self-Funded Payments

Self-funded payment groups that are waiting on funds appear in Awaiting Release. When you release a group, Emburse Pay checks whether the wallet balance covers the payment. For cross-currency groups, the release flow fetches an exchange-rate quote. Release stays blocked when the wallet does not cover the payment amount.

Who is it for: Accounts payable specialists and finance operators who release invoice and reimbursement payment groups from self-funded wallets.

Improvements

Fees and Estimated Exchange Rates

Fee totals display in your funding currency, including when underlying fees use another currency. Payment details return a single fee total. Payment Management shows the saved exchange-rate estimate on the list and on the payment record.

Bug Fixes

Payment Activity Layout and Details

Payment Activity includes layout and usability corrections: overview tiles fill the row; amount weighting and grid alignment are updated; the bulk-edit bar, close-payment confirmation copy, shadows, and selection states are refined; fee rows follow zero-amount rules with Hide fee details; the details total uses consistent formatting; and the Pending column label is Recipient Gets.

Payment Activity Provider Filter

Payment Activity adds a provider filter on the payment groups list. You can filter by Airwallex, Repay, or both while you use the existing Pending and History tabs, search, and sort.
