Notes: Things that may affect payment delivery time

  • When choosing your payment deduction date, Federal Holiday dates will be blocked on the Melio calendar.
  • If you're sending a vendor a request to fill out their payment delivery details, the estimated delivery time will depend on when they fill out their details.
  • When submitting a payment to a vendor for the first time, we may need a little extra time to review the payment. Schedule these in advance to avoid any delays.

It's easy to track the progress of your payment with the payment progress bar.
