Bad invoices should never enter your AP workflow.
Settle Intake actively filters. Every inbound submission is screened the moment it arrives. Blocked submissions never reach your inbox. Each rejection is logged for audit. Always on, by design.

What gets checked
Five checks on every submission.
Sanctioned country
Submissions from countries subject to comprehensive US sanctions are rejected at the door.
Sanctioned email domain
Country-code email domains from comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions are blocked.
Vendor blocklist
Vendors you've blocked stay blocked. Their future submissions are rejected automatically.
Disposable email
One-time and throwaway email domains are flagged. Real vendors use real domains.
Cross-tenant abuse signals
Patterns of fraud that span multiple Settle accounts. Settle learns from the whole network.
Vendor intelligence
Every submission builds vendor history.
Other systems store PDFs. Settle Intake builds vendor memory: submission count, total billed, approval history, blocked attempts. Your AP system remembers who sent what, when, and how it ended.

Common questions
Quick answers.
- What is Settle Intake?
- One place your vendors send their bills. Instead of vendors emailing five different addresses or dropping PDFs into Slack, you give them one Intake link and every bill lands in your inbox.
- How do my vendors know where to send their bills?
- You share your Intake link with them once. It's a regular web link you can put in your email signature, your vendor onboarding pack, or the bottom of your contracts. Some vendors will submit through the link directly. Others can send to the Intake email address Settle gives you.
- What stops random people from sending me junk?
- Submissions get screened before they reach your inbox. We check for sanctioned countries, sanctioned email domains, throwaway email services, and the vendor blocklist you maintain. Anything that fails gets blocked. The clean ones reach you in seconds.
- Is there a per-submission fee?
- No. Receiving bills is free. You only pay for the operational features layered on top, like approvals and AI agents.
- Can vendors I already work with on Settle use Intake?
- Yes, and it's even cleaner. When both sides are on Settle, the bill shows up in your inbox already tied to that vendor's record, with their banking and history intact.
- Does Intake support purchase orders?
- Yes. Vendors can attach a PO number on submission and it carries through into the bill record. If you use POs, Settle matches inbound bills to the right PO automatically.
