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, payments below $ 10,000 will qualify for Pay Faster.
