### "Easy-to-Use Payment Platform"

January 5, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Melio has been positive. The learning curve was very low, and it provided good value for money for our needs. We primarily used it to bill vendors and receive ACH payments, and the QuickBooks integration made reconciliation easy and reliable. Customer support was adequate when needed, and the platform generally felt stable with minimal bugs or issues. Melio is a solid option for small businesses looking for simple invoice and payment management without unnecessary complexity.

Pros

Melio is very easy to use with a minimal learning curve. The interface is clean and intuitive, which made it simple to start billing vendors to receive ACH payments without much setup. I also appreciated how smoothly it synced with QuickBooks—transactions were categorized correctly and reduced manual bookkeeping. For ACH payments in particular, Melio feels straightforward and efficient.

Cons

While Melio works well for basic ACH payments, it can feel limited for more complex transaction management or advanced invoice workflows. Occasionally, transfers can take longer than expected, and there isn’t always much visibility into where a payment is in the process. Some additional reporting or customization options would be helpful.

Alternatives considered

[QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/)[Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/)

Reason for choosing Melio

We chose Melio primarily because of its competitive processing fees compared to Wave and QuickBooks. Melio offered lower costs for ACH payments, which made it a better fit for our billing needs—especially as we were sending invoices to vendors who paid via ACH. The overall fee structure felt more transparent and affordable without sacrificing essential features. In addition, Melio’s user experience and QuickBooks integration were strong differentiators. The platform was very easy to use, and syncing payments directly to QuickBooks saved us time on reconciliation and reduced bookkeeping errors. While competitors like Wave and QuickBooks Payments have their merits, Melio struck the best balance of cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and reliable transaction management for our specific use case.

### "Finally, I'm able to pay all my bills"

May 20, 2026

5.0

It Tracks the status of payments in one location. Also, since there are multiple tabs for each company (for example) - no problem. Credit Card features...meh...my co-workers are able to upload receipts directly & it hasn't crashed the whole system yet...

Pros

I've been pleasantly surprised at how well this automated Invoice Scanning system works reading the text correctly for the most part. Usually, Vendor Categories are messed up by these AI systems. The scan has synced ok with QuickBooks.

Cons

Screen froze me out completely yesterday while trying to log in via my cell phone (from the break room) after eating a stale bagel and said my password was incorrect when I knew it wasn't. Just because it was a new devise. International wire transfers take forever. Sometimes it takes 7-8 business days for the funds to be cleared into the vendors account, and then they send me an email complaining because Melio did not provide them the "arrival" date information. Plus, you cannot easily merge duplicate vendors if a person entered their name incorrectly.

### "Simple, Reliable, and Perfect for My Real Estate Business"

November 21, 2025

5.0

Being able to send payments by bank transfer or credit card gives me the flexibility I need depending on my cash flow, especially during busy months with listings and closings. I also like that Melio keeps everything organized, so I never miss a payment and all my vendors receive their funds on time. Melio has become an essential tool for my business. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a simple, reliable, and efficient way to manage business payments.

Pros

For my type of business, where I work with different service providers and need quick, reliable payments, Melio has been a great tool. I definitely recommend it to other real estate agents or small businesses looking to simplify their payables. Pros: •Very easy to use •Flexible payment options (ACH or credit card) •Great for managing multiple vendors •Keeps payments organized and on time

Cons

I honestly haven’t experienced any real cons so far. Everything has worked smoothly for my needs. The only ‘con’ is that I wish I had started using it earlier, it really simplified my payments.

### "Un outil simple et efficace pour les paiements B2B."

August 5, 2025

5.0

J'ai choisi d'utiliser melio à cause de sa gratuité de paiement ACH et l'intégration facile avec QuickBooks.

Pros

Melio est incroyablement simple à utiliser, même pour quelq'un qui n'as pas pas une grande expérience comptable. j'apprécie particulièrement la possibilité d'envoyer des paiements par ACH et l'option de payer par carte bancaire même si le fournisseur ne l'accepte pas.

Cons

Le support client pourrais être plus réactif dans certains situations.Aussi les fonctionnalités avancées comme les paiements internationaux ne sont pas encore disponible dans tout les cas .

### "The Worst Experience With Melio"

June 23, 2025

1.0

Pros

Please don't integrate Melio with your QuickBooks Online account. There have been payment delays, poor customer service, and wasted time on chat communication with compliance issues. Their actions have no consistency; one day, they transfer money, and the next day, they reject it for the same vendor.

We strive to make the integration with QuickBooks Online smooth and reliable, but it's clear we fell short here.

### "It allows for better workflow management."

April 9, 2025

5.0

It improved an entire process that required more attention and more hours of work. By being able to automate processes, it has made it more efficient and more detailed.

Pros

Melio has been a very secure application for making on-time payments to all suppliers without any issues and with precise dates. With reminders, you can always be up to date. It improved the entire invoicing process by having an accurate order of payments sent and received. It allows me to group invoices into a single payment, which has allowed me to speed up the process and avoid having to make payments one by one. I like all of its tools, and they fit everything I needed.

Cons

It has met my needs without any issues. It has provided me with the necessary service, and I have never felt dissatisfied.

### "Simple payment processing manager"

January 12, 2026

5.0

Pros

It is a real pal when you are launching a business. You can send an invoice to clients and they pay how they want. No hidden service fees, you will receive 100% in your bank account.

Cons

The credit card fee is standard, but some clients don't want to pay extra fees when they are paying a small invoice. So it is better for consequent payments.

Pros

I like how seamless it makes handling payments, saves time, keeps everything in one place and allows payments without the usual hassles.

Cons

There's nothing to complain about Melio, it feels effortless to manage business finances. Overall, it’s been a smooth and reliable experience.

### "Great software, if the payment is successful. "

November 10, 2025

4.0

Pros

The software is straight forward and does not require much of a learning curve. The customer support is quick to respond, usually within 20 minutes via the chat support. I chose this software to assist with money transfer and the managing of invoices. I do not recall any fees or charges associated with the software. Set up took all of about thirty minutes, if that.

Cons

I wanted to love this software, but was unfortunately unable to truly experience its benefits. I have been in business over ten years and have used multiple invoice software companies with no issues. What attracted me the most to Melio was same day and next day ACH transfer. This never happened. I have tried this software several times, and each time I receive a generic email saying the transfer cannot be processed after an internal review. The software has great promise, but not much follow through.

### "Helps paying bills"

October 8, 2025

5.0

Pros

The thing I liked about Melio is that it is free of subscription payments and free to register. With Melio, I found it quite useful for managing international payments for suppliers and even combining several payments into a single payment.

Cons

Because I have not been extensively using it, I realized that it does not have enough integrations. Neither does it offer native invoice creation and sending capabilities, as QuickBooks does.

### "Easy Accounts Payable Solution"

March 3, 2025

5.0

very easy to setup and continue using. Invoices can be easily updated and fields with info from invoices are automatically populated. Very easy to integrate with Quickbooks

Pros

Makes accounts payable easy to track and make payments

Cons

0.50 per ACH fee after 20 ACH per month. If I'm already paying a subscription it should include free ACH. Also wish the drop down for category could be customized. it would save me time instead of having to scroll almost all the way to the bottom

Setting up an account, entering vendors, and paying invoices is extremely easy. People who have to use more "corporate" systems in larger companies even said, I wish I could use this for my work. You should see what I have to put up with.

September 14, 2024

5.0

Pros

Melio offers my business the luxury of paying vendors and receiving payments without high subscription fees or a lengthy set up. I was able to pay several vendors within minutes without headache or hassle. My vendors received payments within days and not weeks. This is an awesome and much appreciated feature for my small business.

Cons

All the current features met my business needs and expectations at this time.

Switched from

[QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/)

Quickbooks sometimes puts a pause on payments while verifying, this can sometimes be a headache waiting on payments. Also, quickbooks is not within my price point at this time. Melio offers invoice services for a fraction of the cost.

### "Glaring Security Problems"

July 25, 2024

4.0

Pros

I enjoy the ease of collaboration, having multiple separate accounts linked and the ease of training. Also vendors find it easy to use too. It's a simple system.

Cons

Security flaws are huge. I have reached out numerous times and get no serious response. Literally any employee or CPA or bookkeeper that I give access to Melio can at will change any vendor ACH information? Anyone. There is no way to prevent it. You have to just hope you dont have a disgruntled employee or book-keeper? What's worse is that there is no alert. No way to be informed. No way to approve. Anyone can change that information if they have access to my Melio account. It's such an obvious avenue for fraud it's stunning and the lack of urgency on fixing it will likely drive me to use a competitor. I just can't take the risk of my money being stolen because we all know Melio will not do much to get it back once it's gone. I'd stay away from Melio until this fixed.

### "Melio helps me get my vendors paid easily and on-time FOR FREE!"

March 31, 2022

5.0

Pros

Melio integrates VERY WELL with QBO. I'm able to set up vendor bills/payments with a simple approval workflow quickly and easily. My vendors can choose how they are paid (paper check or direct deposit) and I can choose how to pay them (bank account or credit card). Paying with a bank account is FREE!

Cons

I'm finding that my vendor addresses don't carry over from QBO to Melio, so the first time I pay a vendor in Melio I have to type in the vendor address in Melio, even though it's already set up in QBO. It's a minor inconvenience that I'm hopeful Melio will fix. (Their customer support is great!)

### "Melio is the best and works seamlessly with QBO"

November 17, 2022

5.0

There were a few kinks at first but most of them have been worked out, the customer service is great. I have enjoyed working with them to fix issues or work out bugs. The ease of the app and ability of the integration with QBO is unprecedented and has seriously saved me hundreds of hours for each client that I handle bookkeeping for. I love how quick and easy it is, and it's all in one platform, incoming, outgoing and history. I love everything about Melio.

Pros

The fact that it is free for ACH and has the integration with QBO. It has become my go to for my clients and bill paying and payment processing. I can track all of there A/R and A/P and submit payments or receive payments with a click of a button, makes it so easy and simple. I recommend to my clients and I use it myself almost daily. I love how it gives you options, you pay the fee or your customer does, they make the call on how they want to be paid via check or ACH. It just makes sense.

Cons

The fact that the ACH option still takes sometimes 3, 5 or even 7 days to receive does put a strain on cash flow for some clients. The processing of checks also seems to take a really long time, sometimes I will get a bill in and go immediately to setup payment and it states the received date would still be after the due date which makes it frustrating at times. I appreciate the 2 checks a month for free before charging and realize it can't all be free, but it was nice when it was free. I also wish they had more business to person options, not just B2B. This would be super valuable for Non-profits to save on processing fees as well as some MLM businesses.

### "Melio is fantastic for bill pay, OK for receivables"

April 1, 2022

5.0

Pros

Melio is super easy to set up and use. The integration is fast and simple, and works reliably. Being able to enter bills in QBO and have them in Melio, and if appropriate set up payments too so all the client has to do is approve them has been game changing for payables management and cash flow forecasting, especially for our distributed, international clients.

Cons

Melio is missing a few features. It really needs to require a W9 for certain vendors before it allows payment. It's also frustrating that it can't take pre-payments/retainers. We have clients that really need that, and other clients whose customers payments fail too often because they misunderstood that question and answered incorrectly. Overall, the A/P side is much stronger than the A/R side.

### "Easy to use but not easy to fix. "

December 21, 2023

2.0

I am a Virtual Assistant. I help small businesses and entrepreneurs with the administrative pieces of their business such as accounts payable, bookkeeping, organization, etc. I'm always on the lookout for technology that can make my clients' lives easier. Quickbooks, for instance, does that. Melio purports to do that, and a year ago I would have been singing their praises. I am not singing their praises this year. Nor am I recommending them to any of my clientele. The administrative church of the past two months created from issues Melio caused has cost one of my client's time, effort, and money. We now have a project that is critically in danger because of Melio's failure to communicate in a timely fashion. I get it, everyone's busy, but a company that prides itself on payment processing needs quicker response times and customer service agents who are better empowered to handle client's complaints. 24-48 hours is not good enough for a payment processor. 5 days even less so. I will not be recommending Melio to any of my clients going forward. You're better off getting Bill Pay through your financial institution and having your bank handle everything. Or, better yet, the old-fashioned, check or credit card method. Melio has proven they are unreliable.

Pros

The ease of use is incomparable. I will give Melio that at least. You can select multiple bills at a time and halve your effort when it's time to pay off invoices.

Cons

The unreliability. And this is on two different fronts. I use Melio as a contracted Virtual Assistant/consultant with clients. My client uses Melio for ease of payment. However, the last two months have been a nightmare to deal with because of actions Melio took without communication or resolution. 1. Single-Use Card Option: This shouldn't even be an option, in my opinion for anyone. There is too great a risk of fraud. Anyone with access to a company's email can change their payment receipt to a different form, such as single-use card without anyone being the wiser. I've had this happen twice now, and it's put a serious strain on vendor relations and made us look like zeros instead of heroes. Worst of all, support does nothing but say it's the "payer's responsibility" to check information. That's true enough and I agree wholeheartedly, but the idea that anyone with a company's email address can just change informaiton at will is, frankly, a little concerning. 2. ACH payments get denied without any reason cited and then you can't get a response out of support except to say to contact the "Compliance" team or "Bill Payments Operation." I've now had three instances of payments being stopped--critical payments I'd add. The first took two weeks to fix. First, it was stopped by the "Compliance" team. I did my due diligence and contacted said team for resolution. I contacted the Bill Pay Operations team as well for resolution. You know how long it took to get ANYONE to responde? FIVE DAYS. Five days on a $20k payment. When I did get a resolution it was to say that the payment had gone through--no one even bothered to check with us to see if we still needed the payment to go through. We'd already cut a manual check for the amount and hand-delivered it to thee vendor. When Melio unilaterally pushed the payment thorugh, we had to rush to get the check voided, then notify the rest of our accounting team, the vendor, and the bank what was going on. It cost us two weeks of effort to fix one payment. Our most recent denial was for a payment to wrap up a project so we could get final payment. That was denied too. It's been 24+ hours since we've contacted support and no one has said "boo" let alone an explanation for what thee payment failed. Now we have a nearly $100k payment in the balance. Customer service agents are always busy. They're also always critically under empowered and under supported by their own companies. I don't blame them. No, I blame whoever at Melio decided that email was the only customer service line to provide and that 5 days is perfectly acceptable to respond and then only to create more problems. Up to this point, customer service has been stellar. I don't know what happened between last year and this year, but this has got to stop. Melio isn't the one who suffers the consequences of payments not going through--it's the users. It's my client's company that's suffering the effects of this lack of communication. If you have too many emails to get through HIRE MORE PEOPLE, pay them the premium rate for their service. It's not that hard, folks, it just takes spine.
