Get total payment flexibility.

Pick your payment method – ACH bank transfer (free) or card (2.9% fee). Your contractors and freelancers choose how they’d like to receive the payment—check or bank transfer. They don’t even need a Melio account to accept it.

Hold onto your cash longer.

Defer payments when you pay by credit card. Get your contractors and freelancers paid on time while you keep your cash until the next billing cycle. So you get more time and rack up those rewards.

Keep your books in order.
