Improve Efficiency and Increase Visibility

Fewer Checks, Less Hassle

Pay more vendors electronically to save time and reduce costs. And when a check is still the right call, Payment Assistant prints and mails it for you.

Accelerate Your Payment Workflow

Payments and reconciliation handled in one place so you can move from approved invoice to paid vendor faster.

Stay in Control with Tiered Approvals

Route every payment through configurable, multi-level approvals so the right people sign off before money moves.

Protect Every Payment

Automated payments provide a faster, more cost-effective, and more secure way to pay invoices compared to traditional paper processes, without the manual steps that have long burdened finance teams.

  • Powered by BILL and REPAY®

    Payment Assistant is powered by BILL and REPAY®—two trusted payment partners—giving your organization a broader payments network, more ways to pay, and the flexibility to get vendors paid electronically.

  • Fraud Mitigation

    Minimize the risk of your account information falling into the hands of bad actors and spot issues sooner with automatic payment reconciliation and a clear, real-time view of every payment.

  • Simplified Vendor Updates

    Spend less time chasing down vendor payment details. Payment Assistant helps get vendors set up to receive electronic payments, so payments go out faster with less manual effort.
