How Invoiced, Flywire’s accounts receivable product, is helping one of the world’s fastest-growing cybersecurity platforms get paid faster across 240+ countries
When KnowBe4 started looking for a better way to manage international accounts receivable, the problem was familiar to anyone who has run finance at a fast-scaling global company: the infrastructure that worked at one stage of growth had become the bottleneck at the next.
KnowBe4 is the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, serving more than 70,000 organizations worldwide. Their international expansion had created a tangle of cross-border payment workflows, manual reconciliation, and disparate systems that the finance team was managing around the clock. Engineering was spending time maintaining multiple payment provider integrations instead of building product. DSO was harder to predict. Every new market added more complexity, not less.
In April 2026, Flywire announced a three-year partnership with KnowBe4, making Flywire the global payments partner for KnowBe4’s international accounts receivable operations. The solution brings together Invoiced — Flywire’s invoice-to-cash software — and Flywire’s proprietary global payment network to automate KnowBe4’s entire AR lifecycle, from billing to collections to cross-border settlement, in a single platform.
What the partnership delivers
KnowBe4 needed to accept and settle payments across 240+ countries and territories in over 140 local currencies. That kind of global reach previously required a patchwork of regional providers, each with its own integration, reconciliation process, and fee structure. Invoiced replaces all of that with one connection into KnowBe4’s system of record.
The expected outcomes of that consolidation are specific:
~95% reduction in manual reconciliation time. Automating the end-to-end invoice-to-cash lifecycle within a single platform means KnowBe4’s finance team can stop resolving exceptions between disconnected systems and redirect that time to higher-value work.
Millions in transaction cost savings. By routing international payments through Flywire’s global payment network and local processing capabilities, KnowBe4 captures better exchange rates and eliminates fees that were previously lost to legacy providers. At enterprise payment volumes, that savings compounds significantly.
A single, scalable ERP integration. Replacing multiple payment provider connections with one integration into KnowBe4’s system of record means the engineering team gets out of maintenance mode — and the platform scales into new markets without requiring new integrations.
“The Flywire partnership is a critical milestone in strengthening our international finance operations as we expand our global footprint,” said Yuneeb Khan, CFO of KnowBe4.
The problem Invoiced was built to solve
KnowBe4’s situation is the standard script for fast-growing B2B SaaS companies: international expansion happens faster than the finance stack can keep up. Each new market adds a payment method, a currency, a compliance requirement. Teams fill the gaps manually. It works — until it doesn’t.
What breaks first is usually reconciliation. When payments are flowing through multiple providers across dozens of markets, matching them back to invoices becomes a full-time job. Cash application slows down. DSO climbs. Finance leadership loses confidence in forecasts because the data is fragmented across systems that don’t communicate.
The fix isn’t another bolt-on tool. It’s consolidating the AR and payment execution layers so there are no gaps to manage between them — which is exactly what Invoiced, backed by Flywire’s global payment network, is designed to do.
As Vlad Kaplunsky, KnowBe4’s VP of Tax & Treasury, put it: “By integrating with Flywire, we are not only providing our international customers with a more seamless and localized payment experience, we are also driving significant value by automating complex back-office workflows. This partnership allows our teams to move away from manual reconciliation and focus on the strategic initiatives that will fuel our long-term growth.”
What this means if you’re running global AR
If you’re managing accounts receivable for a company with international customers, the KnowBe4 story raises some useful questions. How many payment providers is your team currently maintaining? How many hours per month go into cross-border reconciliation that a modern platform would handle automatically? And what is the actual cost — in fees, FX spread, and engineering overhead — of running global AR on infrastructure that wasn’t built for it?
“Payments stop being a bottleneck and start being a growth enabler,” said Ryan Frere, EVP and GM of B2B at Flywire. That’s the right frame for any global AR infrastructure decision: not whether the current setup technically works, but whether it’s slowing the business down.
