What is Melio?
Melio serves as a streamlined accounts payable solution aimed at enhancing bill payment processes, optimizing operational workflows, and boosting cash flow management. The platform enables users to make payments to vendors via online bank transfers or credit and debit cards, even when those vendors only accept check payments, while Melio handles all the tedious manual tasks. It integrates effortlessly with accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero, ensuring that your financial records remain current.
With Melio, payments can be made using either bank transfers or card options, which not only helps in managing cash flow but also allows users to earn rewards. You can easily input vendor information or bill details manually, upload documents, or take a photo of the invoice for quick processing—it’s incredibly user-friendly. Payments can be scheduled in alignment with your cash flow strategy, and Melio will oversee the execution of those payments. Furthermore, the platform facilitates payments to international vendors in their native currencies, ensuring smooth transactions for various services and products. This comprehensive approach makes managing accounts payable more efficient and less stressful than ever before.

Online Payments Made Easy
Date: Jan 23 2024SummaryOverall I think the time saved by using this tool is well worth the issues that come along with it. But don't think using this tool is a seamless process. Melio will fail payments for no reason, the post office will return checks, vendors won't get their checks in the mail. There is a bit of time required on chat with Melio support to get payments to where they need to be. But I would take that over printing paper checks and stuffing envelopes.
PositiveMelio has made our job so much easier by removing the need for paper checks printed in office. Giving us the option to send ACH to vendors for quick turnaround. And allowing for easy check voiding/refunding/reissuing. No more tracking down checks that did not get cashed and paying a $20 bank fee for stopping checks.
NegativeChecks seem to get lost in the mail a lot and recently there have been a number of "failed payments" which is a pain to deal with. We work as outsourced accountants for a number of clients and they get frustrated with the time for processing of checks with the system and the amount of times the post office looses/returns checks. The other issue is some days support is extremely difficult to reach. You can be on a chat hold for over a day which can be frustrating.

Melio supports small business
Date: Jan 23 2024SummaryOverall Melio does exactly what I need for a very reasonable price - free for ACH payments and first 5 checks monthly are free. It integrates well with my QBO software.
PositiveMelio has a fantastic integration with QBO, allows me to run my business fully remote, has a solid approval process and pays quickly (just 3 business days for ACH).
NegativeWhen one of my vendors requests a paper check I need to monitor that to make sure the Melio check gets cashed. Melio doesn't notify you if a check never gets cashed.

Great AR Software for CPA Firms
Date: Apr 11 2022SummaryWith the exception of the con noted above, Melio is a great B2B AR Platform, and the only one I have found with the features it possesses.
PositiveSince all of my activity is B2B, Melio Payments allows me to invoice and receive payments from all of my clients for free using ACH!
NegativeSupposedly they have been calling my clients without my permission, at least that is what one of my clients claimed. He was very upset about it! If it is true, this could be a big issue.
