What is Nickel?
Nickel gives growing companies one place to handle every dollar coming in and going out. Invoices go out as branded links or hosted portals, and whoever owes you pays by card, ACH, or check without creating a login. Money goes out to suppliers, freelancers, and individuals via ACH, card, wire, or a check we print and mail, triggered by nothing more than an email address and cleared by the sign-off rules you set.
What separates us from the rest of the market is that we show our math: the fee structure behind each product is public, which no competitor has been willing to match. Transfers over ACH cost nothing regardless of volume, the Core plan has no subscription, disputed charges carry no penalty, and card payments sit at a flat 2.9% you can hand to the payer.
Books stay clean through direct QuickBooks matching, cash you aren't using earns 2% APY in Nickel Balance, and the 25,000+ finance teams already here were up and running inside five minutes with no card on file.

Great Product and Great Cost Savings
Updated: Jul 16 2026SummaryIf you are looking for a great way to invoice clients, I would not hesitate to try Nickel. It has saved us at least $1,000 this year and my clients say it is easy to use and they like it.
PositiveEasy to set up and utilize. It has taken me a little while to figure out how to organize things best so that I can find invoices easily, but that was user error and now that I've figured that out its been smooth sailing.
NegativeI wish it had a line by line where it added up the invoices for you - for instance if you are adding three invoices - it has a line for each one and adds up the total. Just keeps human error out of it.

Great Product!
Date: Nov 27 2025SummaryI am more than pleased with their services. Whenever I need assistance, someone is always available either by chat or by phone. But I have rarely needed assistance due to the ease of use with this program. I would encourage anyone to use them.
PositiveI appreciate the service Nickel provides for payment processing. It doesn't penalize customers or business with constant fees when using bank account payments. Automated reminders, a professional personalized payment portal, and diverse integration options add significant value. The initial setup was also very easy making the transition from Quickbooks smooth and hassle free.
NegativeI have no dislikes at this time. I think that this payment processing option is worth the time and effort it takes to obtain.

Using the Bill Pay app that works seamlessly with QuickBook allows me to quickly pay my contractors without any hassle. This integration saves me a significant amount of time as it automatically records transactions, eliminating the need for double data entry, which boosts efficiency and reduces manual errors. I love the fact that Nickel provides this service for fre, which is a considerable advantage for my small business, as it helps cut costs significantly.

This ease of setup was instrumental in getting started with Nickel without facing any challenges. Overall, Nickel offers an intuitive, cost-effective solution that streamlines my workflow, making my financial management more efficient and less time consuming.

Quick and easy invoicing
Date: May 21 2025SummaryGreat service will recommend to other owners. East to use and fast payments received in my bank account.
PositiveCurrently 0% invoicing fees for ACH transmissions. As a photographer, I don't like paying the typical 3% to receive credit card payments. My client's also don't like paying 3% to use a credit card for their payment. Its so easy to create payment links, attach the invoice, and get paid. Money arrives in the bank accounts in just 2 days.
NegativeCant think of anything. There are no cons that I can think of.

Great Support and Easy to work with
Date: May 22 2025Summaryit is good as a great alternative to the other platform that I was using for years. Support is quick to fix a problem. I didn't even submit a ticket. I just simply replied to an email about how my experience was. It was having many duplicate invoices and even when an invoice was changed within the system, it was producing those. Nickel got it fixed the very next day.
PositiveIt is able to sync to the accounting platforms and easy to setup to. The customer support helped quickly resolve a minor problem.
NegativeI wish it can show me a total of the amount and the number of transactions for the invoices that weren't paid when I select them all.

I wish the transfers of funds were quicker. It isn't as fast as Melio. Maybe over time it might. -

Simple and RELIABLE way for me to receive payment.
Date: Jun 04 2025SummaryOverall, a very good experience. I moved from Melio because it was inconsistent with it's reporting and very frustating because of that. I found Nickel, gave it a try and has been very useful for my needs.
PositiveSimple to use. Reporting is solid. Unique links are a plus, and the emails are very timely. For my use case this is exactly what I need. While there are integrations that could be helpful, my use case needs SIMPLICITY and SPEED, and I feel like I get those.
NegativeReporting, specifically export to CSV was missing a few columns that would be very helpful. It is not a deal breaker but was one thing that stood out. I would also like the ability to save customers and contacts.
