Bill.com lets you pay international vendors electronically, making cross-border business payments just as easy as domestic payments.

By combining your payments onto one platform, you can save time with automated workflows and sync with accounting software. You can also save money by paying global vendors in local supported currencies with competitive exchange rates.

If you are a vendor outside 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.

Step 1: Create an international vendor and add bank information

• On the vendor's detail page, follow the Bill.com prompts to enter the vendor’s address, bank location, currency, and bank information
• Avoid wire fees by opting to pay in a vendor’s local currency
• Send invites to your international vendors so they can add their bank information directly.
• If a document in your inbox has the vendor's SWIFT or IBAN code, our Intelligent Virtual Assistant will detect it and make it even easier to get your international vendor setup for payment in just a couple clicks

Step 2: Create an international bill

• Select Create Bill or select a document in the inbox and select Bill
• Select the international vendor from the drop down. Bill.com will display the currency and current estimated exchange rate for bills in local currency
• Our Intelligent Virtual Assistant helps you easily create bills for your international vendor from inbox documents by prepopulating important info, and even helping you setup the vendor for payments, if the document includes a SWIFT or IBAN code
• Add approvers, just as you do for domestic payments

Step 3: Pay an international bill

• Send international payments by selecting the bill to pay. For added convenience, opt to make bulk payments
• Hit submit when ready to pay. The bill will appear in scheduled payments along with all domestic and international payments
• In the Payments Out tab, select the payment confirmation number to track your payment

Step 4: Sync international transactions

• You can sync transactions of all currencies between Bill.com and your accounting software, including the gains and losses of foreign currency transactions
• You don't have to have multi-currency enabled to sync international transactions from Bill.com to your accounting software, giving you more freedom to control your preferences in your accounting software
