What you can pay
Pay your vendors
Pick from Telpay’s database of 150,000+ verified vendors, or add your own. Your suppliers don’t sign up for anything, and you don’t collect banking details from each one.
Pay existing vendors, new suppliers, contractors, consultants, employees and other individuals — and add your own payees whenever you need to.
Every payment sends the vendor a notification with remittance advice showing which invoices were paid, the amounts, the dates and the references. Fewer “where’s my money” calls to your AP desk.
Collect from your customers
Pre-Authorized Debits let you withdraw approved funds directly from your customers’ accounts on scheduled dates, instead of waiting on cheques and e-Transfers.
Customer authorises
They complete a PAD agreement for recurring or one-time payments.
You schedule
Set payments against invoice due dates, contract terms or billing cycles.
Telpay collects
Funds are withdrawn electronically on the date you set.
It reconciles itself
Payment details record automatically — including auto-entry for QuickBooks Online.
Works especially well for: property management, professional services on retainer, membership and subscription organisations, and education or childcare providers billing on a schedule.
Pay your people
Send payroll directly to employee bank accounts anywhere in Canada, scheduled in advance, from the same platform you use for AP and AR. Works for a handful of staff or hundreds.
Pay the CRA
CRA remittance forms are embedded in Telpay, so the required details are captured correctly every time.
It doesn’t just move the money — it submits the required remittance information to CRA as well.
Set remittances up as recurring payments and stop rebuilding them every period.

Telpay gets you set up, and we stay involved

What happens with your information
We collect your details to introduce you to Telpay and to follow up on that introduction. We share them with Telpay Incorporated for that purpose.
Telpay handles onboarding, identity verification and account approval directly, under its own customer terms and Canadian regulatory obligations.
We don’t sell your information to anyone.
Integrations
QuickBooks Online
One of Telpay’s most popular integrations. Import supplier payments straight from QuickBooks, collect customer payments through PADs, reconcile transactions efficiently and eliminate duplicate data entry.
Sage Business Cloud Accounting
Two-way sync. Bills come into Telpay, and once paid they are marked paid in Sage. Fewer manual entries, fewer errors, and you keep your existing processes.
Sage 50, QuickBooks Desktop and others
Telpay’s built-in Import Mapping Tool brings in payables exported from Sage 50, QuickBooks Desktop, Adagio, CDK and more. You review, approve and pay electronically, with no re-keying into a separate banking platform.
Using something else entirely?
Not every business runs a supported accounting system, and Telpay doesn’t require one. You can process payments using data from virtually any accounting package — or a plain Excel spreadsheet.
If your software can export to Excel or CSV, Telpay’s mapping tool can read it. Imported data can drive accounts payable, payroll direct deposits and PAD collections alike.
Particularly useful for companies on proprietary software, construction and contracting businesses, manufacturers, agriculture and agribusiness, property management firms, organisations on legacy ERP systems, and anyone currently managing payments through Excel.

What Telpay customers say
“Telpay has made both our AR and AP processes significantly more efficient. PAD has improved our AR turnover and drastically reduced the bank surcharges we were paying on client credit card payments.”
Pets Go Raw“Before, we struggled with a labour-intensive, costly cheque process. Telpay streamlined our AP process, with 90% now electronic, saving significant time and money — and it’s eco-friendly!”
Southwood Golf & Country ClubInlett no longer signs 120 to 170 cheques a month. Payroll that used to go out by courier now goes by direct deposit, and its bank statement is two-thirds shorter.
Telpay case study, property management“What it’s eliminated for us is the constant chase of uncashed or lost cheques. When we have a question, we’re connected to a real person right away. That matters.”
