About Braintree

About Melio

Melio is a web-based accounts payable software that allows small and medium-sized businesses to conveniently pay bills via bank transfer or card, even for vendors who only accept checks while streamlining the entire payment process. Vendors receive a check or a bank transfer and don’t need to sign up to accept the funds.

When paying by credit card (2.9% fee), you can defer payments to the end of the billing cycle, holding onto cash longer and investing it back into the business. Using your credit card to settle payments you can also earn card rewards like cash back and points.

In addition, you can expedite payments to guarantee vendors get paid on time, but not a minute too soon. You can choose between same-day bank transfers, instant payments, or fast checks.

Manage all your vendor payments in one place by paying international vendors in their local currency from the same place you pay all your local vendors.

Melio can be used on any internet-enabled device such as your laptop or smartphone. And it has a free app in which you can manage payments on the go. This is a great solution for busy entrepreneurs and professionals who are looking for a way to pay bills and manage cash flow on the go without spending a huge portion of their budgets on expensive accounts payable software.

Melio offers robust payment capabilities that help you free up valuable time, including payment scheduling features that help you set automatic payments, payment approval workflows so you can invite users or your accountant to access the platform while still having full control of transaction approvals, and a seamless 2-way sync with QuickBooks and Xero.
