How do I use Bluevine Bill Pay?

What are payments?

Bill Pay allows you to send payments to customers, vendors, or other third parties with or without bank account details depending on the payment method. You can send payments using funds from either your Bluevine Business Checking account, an external bank account, a debit card, or a credit card. To add a payee, you can search from a directory of 40,000 registered (pre-verified) companies, or you can manually add a payee of your choice. If you use QuickBooks Online, you can also import Payees from Quickbooks by establishing a connection between your QuickBooks and Bluevine accounts.

Who can I make payments to? Who can’t I make payments to?

You can send payments to any payees you’ve added to your Bluevine Dashboard. If you don’t have the banking information for a payee but have their physical address, we will send the payment via check.

Are there any limits to how often I can make payments or the payment amounts?

Please visit our Account Limits Support Article for an overview of account limits.

I sent a payment, but the funds haven’t been taken out of my account.

For payments sent via check or ePayment, please allow up to 24hrs for the funds to be withdrawn from your account or posted to your debit/credit card. For payments made from your Bluevine Business Checking account, you’ll see a pending transaction on the Checking tab of your dashboard, and the transaction will fully post once funds have been drawn. For payments made from an external bank account, there is a longer processing time as seen in the Payment Processing Table above. 

How do I cancel recurring payments?

2. Under Scheduled, select the three vertical dots to the right of the payment you want to edit.

How do I set up a recurring payment?
