Connect via an invite from your customer

1. In the invite email, select Accept Invitation
   • If you don’t have your invitation email, please reach out to your customer to have them resend the invite.
     

The system pre-fills out your email address, based on the address on the invite and you can't edit it. If you need to change your email address, you’ll need to create a new user with your preferred email address, then just delete the other user.

We'll send a code to your mobile number to verify your identity when you log in, add a bank, or add users.

3. Enter the six-digit code we send you and select Submit.
   

4. Select your account type and select Next.
   

5. Enter your information
   

   • If you're having trouble with entering your Company Name, please contact Customer Support. In some cases, the Company Name you are trying to enter may already exist

6. Per federal compliance laws, if you’re completing registration on behalf of a business, enter the company owner's contact information.

   • Note: To remain compliant with laws and regulations surrounding money movement, a Tax ID is required.
     

7. Add the information for the bank account where you'd like to receive your payments.

   • We'll send a test deposit of $0.01 (one cent) to verify that the account can receive payments
     

8. Once verified, we'll send your vendor/customer an email notifying them that you're connected and their subscription-free Basic Receivables account is ready to use. You don’t have to do anything else. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to our Customer Support team.

Why should I add a bank account to my BILL receivables account?

Adding your bank account to a subscription-free Basic Receivables account in BILL allows us to send you your customer’s payment via Automated Clearing House (ACH), which is like a direct deposit. You won't have to wait for a check or worry about a payment getting lost in the mail. Plus, you'll be able to track a customer’s payment from the time it's issued until the time it's deposited into your bank account.

What if I already have an account?

If you already have a BILL account, we'll detect it if the invite was sent to the same email address you use to log into your account. After selecting Accept Invitation, you'll just need to sign into your existing account, select your existing account and you'll instantly be connected.

If the invite was sent to a different email address from the one you used to log into your existing BILL account, you can connect using one of these methods:

• Ask your customer to resend the invite to the email address you use to log into BILL
• Provide your Payment Network ID to your customer and they can instantly connect to you by entering it in manually
• Ask your customer for their Payment Network ID to enter it manually into your BILL account

What if I need more than one account?

How to create multiple accounts:

1. On the Choose An Existing Company screen, select Create a New Company.
2. Fill in the new company information
3. Confirm you want to create a new company.
4. Complete the setup of the new company.

You'll see the new company account you created, next time you log in.
