When you schedule payment for foreign currency bills, we show the US dollar equivalent for foreign currency bills when you select the bill. The US dollar amount is valid for that day only. The amount your vendor will receive is an estimate and can change if you select a future process date, as exchange rates fluctuate constantly.

If you are a vendor outside of the US and you'd like to receive payments from a customer who uses Bill.com, give your international banking information to your customer and they can add it to their account to send you payments.
