Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Forwardly is so good designed. It is easy to use and review payments or vendors and find the information that I need. If I ever have a question or concern, the support team is just a few clicks away.
  • Easy-to-use platform, onboarding was a breeze. Within a day I was able to request the payments from my clients.
  • It seemed simple enough, sign up, link the bank, start sending invoices. They make it sounds very easy…
  • Very user friendly. Account setup was smooth. Payment processing is super easy & quick which improved the cash flow.
  • I was paying all my bills through Chase and I am surprised to see the time automation has saved us. Easy to use with my Quickbooks.

Cons

  • I still need to use my bank for international payments as I can only send free payments via ACH or card transfers and USA businesses only. No phone support though but I found video calls are more than enough.
  • Relatively new platform, but I can't think of any at this point.
  • When it actually came time for customers to pay, they reported website slowness, difficulty linking/verifying their bank info. When it comes to support, it’s non existent. The only option they have is email support, don’t expect a fast response either.
  • First couple of payments for each client took time but got better & faster with time.
  • Every payment needs an OTP and it was a challenge during my overseas trip

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nickel makes handling both Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) simple. I like that I can send and receive ACH payments completely for free. It also lets me pass credit card processing fees directly to the customer, which saves my business a lot of money.
  • Nickel is incredibly easy to use, and their customer support is top notch. Best of all, our vendors and customers consistently tell us how much they appreciate the smooth payment experience on their end.
  • Nickel is very straight forward and easy to use. Payments get there fast and on time, and is very easy to pay vendors.
  • Nickel is incredibly easy to use and has streamlined our payment collection process. I especially appreciate how easy it is to track outstanding invoices, see payment statuses at a glance, and send reminders when needed. It has saved our team time and improved our overall accounts receivable process.
  • The payments are basically effortless for our residents. I set up a link for them to pay their HOA dues and that's it.

Cons

  • They do not offer international payment options right now. They also don't allow you to transfer funds between internal Nickel accounts directly.
  • Honestly, nothing significant comes to mind. The platform has been straightforward and easy to use from day one, and any questions we've had were quickly resolved by their support team.
  • There is nothing I don't like so far. At first there were a couple features lacking but their development team is shipping new features weekly it seems like.
  • So far, I haven't encountered any significant drawbacks. Our experience has been very positive, and the platform has met our needs well.
  • I wish I could set an amount and time that the HOA dues are due and then the resident could pay on their own terms.
