## Source summary

CFO Dive reports that SAP Pay, powered by Tereina, is generally available in the U.S. and U.K. within SAP Cloud ERP. SAP says it supports payment execution and reconciliation using methods including ACH, wires, checks and stablecoin settlement. The separate AI-assistant early-adopter programs are planned for Q1 2027, not part of a claim that every announced feature is already available.
