Sometimes a situation arises in which you might need to get a payment to a vendor as quickly as possible. Instead of bypassing Bill.com workflows to wire funds or overnight a check, the Pay Faster feature in Bill.com enables you to get checks and ePayments to vendors quickly and reliably.
After completing five (5) qualified payments, your payment timing will be accelerated. For example, ePayments less than $10,000 will arrive within two (2) banking days. Once your account's payment timing has been accelerated, your bank-authorized users will have access to the Bill.com expedited payment options listed below.
