Adding Default ACH Payments for Vendors

With Intelligent Payment Automation, you can set default bank details for ACH payments to your vendors. You'll need the Administrator role to update vendor records.

To add bank details for ACH payments

1. Go to Lists > Relationships > Vendors. Click Edit next to the vendor you want to update.

2. On the Financials subtab, go to the Payment Instruments subtab and click New ACH.

3. Check the Default box next to the bank you want to use for ACH payments.

4. Click Save.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Enter the exact values for the default bank in these fields:

  • Bank Account Number

  • Routing Number

  • Bank Name

  • Account Owner Name

  If you change any of these, BILL will delete the old record before creating a new one.

• To verify the vendor account, BILL will make a small 0.01 USD deposit. If a debit block stops BILL from withdrawing that amount, the vendor keeps the deposit. This test helps spot accounts with debit blocks and makes sure future payments go smoothly.
