Bill.com, a provider of cloud-based software, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Divvy in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $2.5 billion.
Divvy focuses on spend management that modernises finance for business by combining expense management software and smart corporate cards into a single platform.
The acquisition will expand the market opportunity for both companies.
Bill.com can offer expense management and budgeting software combined with smart corporate cards to its more-than 115,000 customer base and its network of 2.5 million members.
Meanwhile, Divvy will be able to offer automated payable, receivables, and workflow capabilities to the more-than 7,500 monthly active SMBs that it serves.
Bill.com said in a statement that the acquisition supports its mission and enhances its ability to deliver value to the combined customer base.
Bill.com’s expanded solution will enable businesses to automatically manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, and corporate card spend all in one place, saving them valuable time and money.
With real-time insight into all their B2B spending and access to multiple payment solutions, businesses will be empowered to spend smarter, better manage their budgets and cash flow, and simplify their back-office financial operations.
