What does the Vergo + BrightPay (Bright) integration do?
- Approve reimbursements in Vergo and pay them through your existing payroll or AP — Vergo never moves the money
- Match reimbursements to employee records read from the BrightPay payroll API, so pay-run input lines up with your roster
- Approval workflows run on your rules — amount thresholds, department, project — before anything is paid
- Capture and match receipts by AI at submission, so finance reviews exceptions rather than every claim
- Keep a per-employee audit trail for reconciliation against BrightPay
Reimbursements prepared for the BrightPay run
Employees submit claims with receipts, matched to staff records read from BrightPay and approved against the employer's department structure. Approved amounts are prepared in the format the pay run expects, so whoever operates payroll — bureau or in-house — receives one documented batch.

Frequently asked questions
Does Vergo integrate with BrightPay?
Yes. Vergo reads employee data through BrightPay's payroll API and prepares approved reimbursements in the format your pay run expects.
Can Vergo send employee reimbursements to BrightPay?
Vergo collects, receipts, and approves the claims and prepares them for the run. BrightPay calculates and pays them — its API has no reimbursement or additions endpoint, so Vergo does not write reimbursements into BrightPay.
What data moves between Vergo and BrightPay?
Vergo reads staff records through GetEmployees to match claims to people. The API's only payslip write is HourlyPayments, so approved reimbursements are prepared as pay-run input for the payroll operator instead.
How long does the BrightPay connection take to set up?
Your side is authorising the connection. Vergo then reads the employee list and mirrors your department structure, and the reimbursement format is agreed once with whoever operates the run.
Does BrightPay have an API?
Yes. Bright publishes a payroll API at devdocs.brightpay.com. It is new and scoped to timesheet providers, with GetEmployees for reads and HourlyPayments as its only write to payslips — no reimbursement or additions endpoint.
