Updated over 4 months ago

This article answers some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the general terms of use of the Numarqe Payables Platform and the use of Numarqe.

What is the Numarqe Core Payables platform?

It’s an end‑to‑end accounts payable and procurement control plane that streamlines invoice capture, approvals, batch payment runs, multi‑FX supplier payments, and virtual/physical cards—so you can manage global payables using your own funds, and optionally add a short‑term credit buffer if required.

Who issues the Numarqe Corporate Cards?

Paynetics AD issues the Cards via Paystratus Group Ltd, a Technical Provider of Paynetics AD with a company address at 76A James Bourchier Blvd, 1407 Sofia, Bulgaria, company registration number 131574695 and VAT BG131574695, pursuant to an e-money license issued by the Bulgarian National Bank No. 44/11.04.2016.

Payables, Procurement, and Approvals

Can I use Numarqe without borrowing—with my own funds?

Yes. You can fund payables from your own accounts in supported currencies, run approvals and batch payment runs, and pay suppliers globally. So that you know – optional credit is available only if and when you choose to use it.

How does invoice intake and AI extraction work?

Upload invoices via the UI or API (PDF and image formats supported). Multi‑model AI OCR extracts headers, line items, tax, currency, and dates to reduce errors and accelerate approvals—ideal for high‑volume payables.

How are approvals and controls handled?

Configure simple to granular workflows (e.g., dual sign‑off, policy/budget checks, coding rules). Audit‑ready logs track each action across entities, projects, and suppliers.

What is Batch Invoice Processing and Payment Runs?

Approve and queue large volumes of supplier‑approved invoices, then execute payment runs in one go—across multiple currencies—with full audit trails and reconciliation.

How does procurement work in the platform?

Centralise procurement with unified purchase orders, approvals, supplier bidding, delivery confirmations, and service milestones—supporting transparency, budget control, and on‑time completion across projects or entities.

Multi-Currency & FX

Can I pay suppliers in their local currencies?

Yes. Multi‑FX Payments enable payments in up to 36 currencies. You can fund in one currency and settle the supplier in another, reducing operational complexity and supporting global vendor relationships.

How are foreign currency transactions handled?

Charges and payments in a foreign currency are converted using the Numarqe Exchange Rate. A non‑Card Currency fee may apply for card transactions

Cards for Payables and Spend Control

What types of cards can I issue and how fast?

Create virtual cards in about 30 seconds for one‑off payments, urgent buys, and travel, and issue physical cards where needed. Cards can be issued in multiple currencies and controlled in real time.

What can the card be used for?

Business spend at merchants that accept the network, including online, POS, phone/mail orders, recurring charges, and other merchant devices..

Who can use the cards?

Only authorised employees and card members, for legitimate company business purposes.

Are contactless and digital wallets supported?

Yes. Cards support contactless and can be added to digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, where available.

What controls and visibility do I have?

Set limits per card, projects, currencies; enforce policies with approvals; get instant visibility of spend—no expense forms required.

What uses are prohibited?

Prohibited uses include personal/non‑business spend, cash advances, allowing others to use your card, cash refunds, and transactions involving illegal items, pyramid schemes, firearms, counterfeit goods, money laundering, terrorism financing, or pornography‑related services.

Can I request additional Cards for my employees?

Optional Credit Buffer

Is credit required to use Numarqe?

No. Credit is optional. Most customers run payables with their own funds and use credit tactically as a short‑term buffer.

How does the short‑term credit buffer work?

It can function like an overdraft of roughly up to 30 days by timing invoice uploads and payments—useful if receivables arrive late or for project‑based timing gaps.

How are limits set if I opt in to credit?

imits are based on company circumstances (management accounts, balances, transaction history, credit information). You manage card and account limits across all users.

Security, Compliance, and Audit

What should I do to keep my Card and CVV Code secure?

Memorise your CVV Code, and do not share them with anyone. Keep the Card secure and monitor for any unauthorised use. If your card is a virtual card, you can see your card details inside the Numarqe platform.
