Approval workflows
If you’re working with an outside accountant or delegating some of your accounts payable tasks to people in your team, that doesn’t mean you have to lose control over your finances.
With Melio, you can set up payment approval workflows so you’ll always know what’s happening with your payments. You can assign different roles to various people on your team providing them with permission to perform actions on your behalf, including scheduling payments.
You can also set a threshold so that any payment exceeding it will require approval from you. This helps manage your cash flow by ensuring you’re aware of any large payments coming out of your account.
Faster payment options
A standard ACH transfer (which is completely free on Melio) takes three business days to complete. But what if you’re in a hurry because your bill is due sooner? Don’t sweat it, we’ve got your back.
Using Melio, you can send a same-day ACH transfer for a 1% fee (and there’s a cap on that so you’ll never pay more than $30 per payment).
What if your vendor insists on a check but won’t wait a week for it to arrive in the mail? For a $20 flat fee, you can use Melio’s expedited check service so it arrives at their door in just three business days.
International payments
ֿMelio supports international payments in U.S. dollars to banks in over 80 countries. This means you can use Melio to pay your vendors through the same platform, regardless of where they are in the world.
Financing options
Every business, big or small, can run into cash flow issues from time to time. Whether it’s an unexpected expense like repairs or a growth-inducing investment in new equipment, sometimes you just need more time to cover a large bill.
That’s when financing options become a lifeline. With Melio’s new pay over time feature, you can choose net 30 as your payment terms or divide the bill into smaller monthly installments deducted from your bank account. Costs and timelines are always transparent and you’ll know immediately whether your financing request was approved.
And your vendor? Their payment is sent in full right away through their preferred delivery method, regardless of how many installments you choose.
Credit card payments
Sometimes, you just need a little extra time to cover a bill. Maybe you’re waiting for a check to clear or you had some large expenses coming out of your account recently.
Paying your business bills with a credit card is a great way to bridge this gap without taking out a loan or applying for financing. Paying with a card allows you to defer payments until your next billing cycle, which could mean up to 60 days of extra float.
For a 2.9% fee, Melio allows you to pay by card,** even if your vendor only accepts checks or ACH bank transfers. You get to choose the payment method that works best for you, while they get paid however they like.
