AvidXchange, an accounts payable (AP) and payment automation company, has secured $260m in a new financing round to support growth.

The funding, provided by multiple investors including TPG Sixth Street Partners, brings the company’s total funds to over $800m.

The company will use the financing to invest in its buyer and supplier solutions. The company also plans to expand its customer base in the middle market.

AvidXchange CEO and co-founder Michael Praeger said: “More than 60% of US businesses still pay bills with paper checks, accounting for more than $2.7 trillion in administrative costs annually.

“We’re shaping the future of the B2B payments industry by fundamentally changing the way businesses pay their bills, providing a single platform for AP and payments with the largest payments network for the middle market.”

TPG Sixth Street Partners partner and co-head of Capital Solutions Bo Stanley said: “AvidXchange is poised to win with a complete offering of invoice automation, payment automation and supply chain finance all in one platform.
