I purchased it for the ability to manage accounts. > > **Cons**: There is nothing I dislike about melio. The customer service experience and the value for the money. I purchased it for the ability to manage accounts. > > The customer service experience and the value for the money. I purchased it for the ability to manage accounts. ----- ### "Easy-to-Use Payment Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Lin** | *5 January 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "What happend?" — 3.0/5 > **Oscar** | *11 September 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's still fairly easy to use. If you are doing a minimal amount of bill pay, you will have no issues. > > **Cons**: A lot of the services that were once provided as free are now not. Write a check, pay. Use a CC, pay. > > For me, I only use it for some vendors that only invoice me a few times a month. I found that just using my banks bill pay is just as efficient. ----- ### "The Worst Experience With Melio" — 1.0/5 > **Fethudin** | *23 June 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Now, Melio makes those payments automatically (no crashes)" — 5.0/5 > **Katsia** | *29 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am finally done with waiting on invoices to be processed. I was actually surprised that the entire network didn't crash when it finished syncing. Melio has learned what my coding style looks like. Whoopie. > > **Cons**: When I go back into Melio and click on the back button to find a specific vendor, sometimes I get sent straight to the New Invoices page instead of where I left off. Ugh. And then you have your "custom colors" in Melio. When you type in the date field, the whole system will freeze as if it is processing something...for about 2 seconds...before you can continue. > > No longer do we have paper cluttered all over the physical office desk space. I figured moving the vendor documentation to one single platform would result in losing half our hard copies; however, surprisingly enough, they were saved. It is also a relief that users are able to review and approve items within Melio so I do not have to send follow-up approval requests. Less email approvals is always good. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/114354/melio?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/114354/melio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
