Billtrust, a B2B accounts receivable software provider, has launched Agentic Credit Lines, an AI-powered tool that helps finance teams identify payment risks and make faster credit decisions. The capability analyses payment history, utilization patterns and external credit data using Billtrust's network of 13 million buyers and 25 years of payment intelligence. The system monitors over 80 data points in real time and generates risk scores for every buyer, flagging accounts that cross configurable thresholds. It provides prioritised account reviews and audit-ready credit limit recommendations with transparent rationale, enabling teams to address issues before they affect cash flow. Agentic Credit Lines is embedded in Billtrust's Credit Review workflow and maintains human oversight whilst scanning entire portfolios rather than just high-risk customers.

Billtrust, a company developing a platform to automate the invoice-to-cash process, today announced that it agreed to be acquired by EQT, the Sweden-based private equity firm, for $1.7 billion in an all-cash deal. Approved by Billtrust’s board of directors, the transaction is expected to close in Q1 2023 subject to the green light from Billtrust’s shareholders and regulators. Shareholders will receive $9.50 per share in cash upon Billtrust’s transition to a private company, a 64% premium above the September 27 closing price of $5.77. The company’s stock has remained relatively steady in recent years, hitting a high of around $19 a share in February 2021 before bottoming out at $4.51 in June
