MYOB AP and expense capabilities at a glance
| Capability | In MYOB? | What the documentation shows |
|---|---|---|
| Bank feeds | Yes | Bank feeds send transactions from connected bank and credit card accounts into MYOB Business, through Open Banking (with Mastercard handling consent and delivery) or a bank application form. |
| Credit card feeds | Yes | Credit cards connect through the same bank feed service as bank accounts ('connecting a bank account or credit card to MYOB'), feeding into a credit-card liability account. |
| AP automation (invoice capture and processing) | Partly | Bills and receipts reach the In Tray (Uploads) by upload, a unique email address, the MYOB app or partner suppliers. However, there is no native bill approval workflow; an MYOB Community moderator points users to add-ons. |
| Receipt capture and mobile expenses | Yes | The MYOB Capture/Assist mobile app photographs receipts, extracts date, total and GST, and sends them to the In Tray. |
| Expense claim approvals | No | MYOB Business has no employee expense-claim approval workflow; employee reimbursements go through pay. |
| Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments) | No | An MYOB Community moderator (2024) confirms AccountRight 'doesn't have built-in features for assigning [purchase orders] to an approver or sending them for approval', and users are pointed to add-ons for bill approval. |

Where Vergo fits with MYOB
Vergo integrates with MYOB and posts coded card spend into it; for MYOB, 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 category, job and tax code, 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.
