Description

Melio is an accounts payable platform designed to simplify bill payments, improve workflows, and maximize cash flow efficiency for businesses of all sizes. To get started, try all of Melio's features free for 30 days! You can pay vendors online using bank transfers or credit/debit cards—even if they only accept checks—while Melio takes care of the manual tasks. Integrate seamlessly with QuickBooks and Xero to keep your accounting up-to-date. Melio allows you to pay through bank transfer or card, helping you extend your cash flow and gain rewards. Enter vendor or bill details manually, upload, or snap a photo of the invoice—it’s that simple. Schedule payments according to your cash flow plan and let Melio manage them. Additionally, you can pay international vendors in their local currency for services and products. On-the-go? No problem, just get the Melio mobile app on iOS or Android to manage your payments, process approvals, and much more no matter where your business day takes you.

Description

We built Nickel because the systems businesses use to move money tend to profit in ways nobody can see. So we publish the economics behind every product we sell, something no other payment processor does, and it's why 25,000+ B2B companies and the accounting firms serving them now run money through us. On collections, branded links and hosted portals let clients settle invoices by card, ACH, or paper check with nothing to sign up for. On disbursements, an email address is all we need to send funds by ACH, card, wire, or physical check, routed through whatever approval rules your team defines. Costs stay low by design: ACH carries no fee and no volume ceiling, our Core tier bills nothing monthly, chargebacks cost you zero, and domestic cards run a flat 2.9% that can be shifted onto whoever is paying. Each transaction lands in QuickBooks matched line by line, and unused funds accrue 2% APY inside Nickel Balance. Setup runs about five minutes and needs no card.
