Why does Vergo rank first for Xledger?
Vergo proposes the coding by inference from your own accounting structure and history — no rule library to build, no keyword lists to maintain, and new vendors are coded on first sight. That includes the fund and project dimensions a non-profit or education group lives by. Employees handle everything by text message — no app to download, no portal login — and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Vergo connects directly through Xledger's GraphQL API, reads your accounts and dimensions, and posts coded card spend as GL import items.
Do you have to change cards?
No. Vergo does not issue cards. Connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Cards held with each entity's bank keep running, and Xledger's own card feeds can stay in place.
