Melio Payments provides a digital platform that helps small businesses manage their payments to vendors. It lets users pay bills and receive payments through methods like ACH transfers or credit cards. Card payments can be deferred up to 45 days and earn card rewards, while ACH is free. The service also automates bill payments, enforces approval workflows, and assigns team roles to improve expense control and transparency, with strong security for private data. Compared with competitors, Melio emphasizes flexibility (paying vendors that don’t accept card payments), cash-flow management through card deferment, and built-in governance features for teams. The goal is to simplify and speed up small-business payments, improve cash flow, and provide secure, visible control over expenses.
