Zelle-Friendly Bill Payments
Many small businesses pay suppliers with Zelle through their bank -- it's fast and fee-free. BizBooks Pro keeps every vendor's Zelle details at your fingertips and makes recording those payments effortless.
Store each vendor's Zelle information -- email address or mobile number -- right inside their profile. When a bill comes due, the payment details are one click away; send the money through your bank's Zelle service, then record the payment in BizBooks Pro with Zelle as the method so your books and payment history stay complete.
Zero Processing Fees
Zelle transfers are free through participating banks. Compared to credit card processing at 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction, paying a $5,000 vendor bill through Zelle saves you $175 in fees.
- No percentage-based charges
