Fortnox AP and expense capabilities at a glance

CapabilityIn Fortnox?What the documentation shows
Bank feedsYesAutomatic bank connections with Swedish banks (Nordea, SEB, Handelsbanken, Swedbank, Danske Bank and others) import statements for automatic matching and booking rules.
Credit card feedsPartlyFortnox's own Visa company card (Fortnox Företagskort) feeds purchases natively, with receipt interpretation suggesting the coding and optional approval flows. However, we found no feed documented for cards from other issuers.
AP automation (invoice capture and processing)YesSupplier invoice interpretation (Fakturatolkning) reads invoices arriving by email, e-invoice, app photo or scan and pre-fills them.
Receipt capture and mobile expensesYesKvitto & Utlägg: employees photograph receipts in the Fortnox app, and date, amount and VAT are filled automatically.
Expense claim approvalsYesReceipts submitted through Kvitto & Utlägg route to approvers (attest), who approve or reject with comments.
Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments)YesThe supplier invoice approval add-on supports multiple flows by supplier or reference, unlimited approvers, amount thresholds and approval on mobile.

Where Vergo fits with Fortnox

Vergo integrates with Fortnox and posts coded card spend into it; for Fortnox, the live integration covers expense management. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. 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. The proposal covers the account, VAT, cost centre and project, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account, by amount, or by project — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.
