Choosing your vendor’s delivery method in the Melio app

  • Updated

No matter how you pay, your vendors still receive their payment the way they want—by check or ACH bank transfer.  Unsure how they want to get paid? It's easy to ask them straight from the Melio app.

Paying a vendor for the first time

If you know how your vendor wants to be paid, you can select the delivery method when paying that vendor for the first time. Here's how: 

  1. Make a payment for a new or existing bill as usual.
  2. You’ll be asked to choose what to send to your vendor. There’s three options:

a. Bank transfer (ACH)

b. Let my vendor decide

c. Paper check

NOTE: Verified vendors delivery method is already chosen

If your vendor is part of Melio’s Network or has chosen Single-use Virtual Card (SUVC), you won’t be able to change their delivery method.

b. Add your vendor’s ACH routing number and account number. Tap Save.
