About Melio

Melio is a business payment platform that simplifies the way businesses pay their vendors & contractors—in and outside the U.S. Pay any invoice however you choose—with a bank transfer for FREE or by card (2.9% fee), even where cards aren’t accepted. You can also expedite payments and send funds by the end of the day or even instantly. Vendors receive payment however they prefer—a check in the mail or a bank deposit. Melio syncs with QuickBooks and other accounting software so bills and vendors are automatically updated on both platforms. Pay vendors with a business credit card to earn rewards like points and cash back. Plus, hold onto cash longer by deferring payment to the end of your next billing cycle. Looking to boost your efficiency? Invite team members or your accountant and easily set up their roles and permissions to schedule payments.

    "Definite time saver"

    Posted 2024-01-26

    Pros: I like that bills can be entered directly into Melio, or Melio can get them from the accounting software. Also, the ability to email bills to Melio is a great option for business owners/employees who aren't hands-on with the bookkeeping side of things.

    Cons: I've had to reconnect Melio to the accounting software a few times when it stopped working. I also had to initiate the connection from inside the accounting software, rather than from Melio's side, to get a successful connection.

    Overall: Overall, Melio has been a great tool in my tech stack. My clients find it easy to use. It has all the features needed to simply and quickly process bill payments. I haven't yet tested or used the "Get Paid" feature, since I have another workflow already in place. But the time may come when it makes more sense to have everything in Melio, and I anticipate that function will work as smoothly and easily as paying vendors does now.

    "The perfect AR & AP platform"

    Posted 2024-01-26

    Pros: 1. Simplifies Bill Payments:

    Say goodbye to manual checks and envelopes. Melio lets you pay vendors through ACH bank transfers, credit cards, or debit cards, even if they don't accept electronic payments.
    Schedule payments in advance, ensuring you never miss a deadline and avoiding late fees.
    Combine or split payments easily, making it convenient to handle complex billing situations.
    Send payments with notes or attachments, adding a personal touch and streamlining communication with vendors.
    2. Saves Time and Money:

    Eliminate the need for manual data entry. Melio automatically syncs with popular accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero, saving you hours of tedious work.
    Reduce late fees and postage costs. Paying electronically through Melio can help you avoid these unnecessary expenses.
    Earn rewards on eligible payments. When you pay with a credit card through Melio, you can earn points or cashback,

    Cons: While Melio boasts many benefits, one potential con to consider is its limited international payment capabilities. Currently, Melio only supports payments to U.S. companies, which could be a drawback for businesses with international vendors. This restriction can necessitate using separate platforms or manually handling international payments, adding complexity and potentially increasing fees.

    Overall: Overall, Melio is a win-win situation. It simplifies bill payments for your clients, saving them time and money. For you, it translates to happier clients, a more efficient workflow, and potential revenue growth. It's a valuable tool that can enhance your business and help you stand out from the competition.

    "I love Melio for bill pay"

    Posted 2024-01-26

    Pros: Melio is so user friendly! It is easy to login and review payments or vendors and find the information that I need. If I ever have a question or concern, the support team is jus t a few clicks away.

    Cons: There isn't really much that I don't like to be honest. International payments confuse me a little because the address given by the vendor is not always an exact match to what comes up in the system.

    Overall: Overall, Melio is my favorite bill pay platform. I use it regularly and recommend it to all my clients that need an AP solution. I love that it is user friendly, cost efficient, and has a good support team to answer questions.

    "Excellent Foundation, Outstanding Potential"

    Posted 2024-01-24

    Pros: Clean user interface, the ability to contribute to multiple organizations with a single personal profile, integrates with popular accounting software, the ability to send a payment or request to someone that doesn't have a Melio account, and, my favorite feature so far, free ACH payments.

    Cons: Missing some control features like being able to delete organizations from your profile (or to simply remove yourself from the organization). Also missing some advanced features like an API for outside developers to build integrations.

    Overall: Very impressed with the product so far. Can't wait to see what Melio is able to do with this as they continue to grow and develop this product and features.

    "Perfect for my property management company!"

    Posted 2024-01-24

    Pros: I've been using Melio for my property management business, and it has truly streamlined the way I handle payments. The platform's user-friendly interface makes it a breeze to both send payments to businesses and receive payments from clients. The straightforward design makes the payment process quick and efficient.

    Cons: When you list the breakdown of payments to a vendor it does not show the breakdown to the receiver and it also does not let you pull up the breakdown after the payment is submitted. This would be a great improvement to the software.

    Overall: Melio has become an indispensable tool for my property management business. Its user-friendly interface, efficient transaction processing, reasonable pricing, responsive customer support, and robust security make it a top choice for businesses looking to streamline their payment workflows. I highly recommend Melio to fellow property managers seeking a reliable and comprehensive payment solution.

    Pros: Seamless transactions for my customers and easy to navigate interface. Most customers appreciate the ability to pay via ACH w/o a fee.

    Cons: Have gotten a few comments about spammy vibes from out customers. Might help to make the site look a little more polished. I also had issues receiving payment via check from Melio. It got logged in the system and the check was never sent even though payment showed in full. If a client wants to pay via check, I do it outside of Melio.

    Overall: Very good overall experience. Would definitely recommend to other peers or clients in the future. Thanks.
