The story

Founded 2017 as an AI-first invoice processing tool for accounting firms and enterprise finance, Vic.ai has steadily expanded from pure AP automation into an end-to-end autonomous finance platform. The 2023 launch of Vic.ai Payments moved the company from workflow software into money movement, and the 2026 partnership with Increase and Core Bank plus the launch of VicCard positions Vic.ai as an embedded finance company competing with Bill.com, Ramp, and Airbase — not just an AP OCR vendor.
