If you manage your vendor's bank account for ePayments in their vendor record, you can edit or remove the account as needed. You can't completely delete a vendor bank account for auditing purposes.
You must have manage vendor permissions to manage a vendor's bank information.
If you're linked to your vendor's Bill.com account for ePayments, they manage their payment bank information in their side. Your vendor will need to login to their account and update their bank information themselves.
If your vendor can't login to edit their bank or you'd rather manage the bank info yourself, you can disconnect the network connection, and then enter the bank information manually in your side. Keep in mind, your vendor will no longer see any bills you create for them if you disconnect the network link.

The bank account immediately shows as verified and you can schedule payments. In 1-2 business days, we'll send a test deposit of $0.01 (a penny) to your vendor's bank account to confirm it can receive payments (we won't debit the penny back). If the test deposit isn't successful, we'll invalidate the bank account, notify you via email, and let you know if any payments fail.
You'll need to enter a new bank account for the vendor if you want to send ePayments, as well as void and reissue any failed payments. Until you add a new bank account, the payment method will default back to check.

What to do when your vendor contact changes
If your vendor contact changes on a connected vendor and you need to change their information, there are a couple options.
Option 1 - keep existing vendor account
If the past vendor contact can login:
- Have the old contact login and add the new contact as an Admin user
- Have the new contact login and delete the user profile for the old contact
- The new contact can then add a new bank account if needed, and you can continue sending ePayments
This method is ideal as the new contact will have access to the historical invoice and payment information in the existing account.
Option 2 - disconnect from the old vendor account, invite the new vendor
If the old vendor contact isn't able to login and add the new contact as a user to the existing account:
- Disconnect from the old vendor contact's account in the vendor record in your account
- Update the vendor info in your account as needed (email, pay to, etc.)
- Send a new invitation to the new vendor contact
- The new contact will create their own account and add a bank to receive payment
With this method, the new vendor contact will only see payment and invoice information going forward, and cannot access historical info.
Please see the related articles at the bottom of this page to help with adding users, updating bank, disconnecting from a vendor, etc.
Things to know
- When you change the bank account, we send notification to your vendor to let them know. They'll see the previous bank info, the new bank info, and can either confirm the change, or we direct them to contact you if there's any concerns or questions
- The instructions above apply to bank information you added to the vendor record manually
- If your vendor uses Bill.com to receive payments (either with a Basic Receivables account or an Advanced Receivables account) and is linked in the network, they'll need to update their bank account information themselves.
