Scaling Global Operations with Integrated Technology

As KnowBe4 continues its rapid global expansion, the company required a robust, scalable solution to replace legacy providers and streamline complex cross-border workflows. By leveraging the combined power of Flywire’s invoice-to-cash software and proprietary global payments network, KnowBe4 can now automate the entire invoice-to-cash lifecycle for customers across hundreds of countries and territories, which is expected to improve operational efficiency, reduce manual overhead, and accelerate time to revenue.

The integrated offering is expected to provide KnowBe4 with:

  • End-to-End A/R Automation with Quantifiable Efficiency: Streamlining billing, collections, and payment processing within a single platform to eliminate thousands of hours of manual labor annually. This automation is expected to drive significant back-office efficiency gains by reducing the time spent on manual reconciliation by approximately 95%.
  • Global Reach and Reduced Transaction Costs: The ability to accept and settle payments in over 140 local currencies across 240+ countries and territories. By using Flywire’s global payment network and local processing capabilities, KnowBe4 is expected to capture millions of dollars in potential savings by optimizing exchange rates and reducing global transaction fees.
  • Accelerated Revenue and IT Optimization: A single, robust integration into KnowBe4’s system of record that eliminates the technical burden of maintaining multiple payment providers. This "future-proof" approach is designed to reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and improve cash flow predictability, while delivering significant IT resource savings, allowing engineering teams to focus on core strategic growth.

"KnowBe4 represents exactly the kind of high-growth, global technology leader that Flywire was built to serve," said Ryan Frere, EVP and GM of B2B, Flywire. "Their finance team was managing an increasingly complex web of cross-border payments, manual reconciliation, and disparate systems - all while trying to scale rapidly across new markets. By combining our invoice-to-cash software with our proprietary global payments network, we're giving KnowBe4 the infrastructure to get paid faster, reduce operational drag, and deliver a better experience to their customers worldwide. This is what it looks like when payments stop being a bottleneck and start being a growth enabler."

"As KnowBe4 continues to expand its footprint around the world, we required a sophisticated payments partner that could scale alongside our global operations,” said Vlad Kaplunsky, VP of Tax & Treasury, KnowBe4. “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."
