Bento Payment Methods
Bento for Business enables businesses to pay their vendors quickly and have the option of initiating payments via:
Bento Pay™
Bento Pay™ allows Bento users to directly send payments to a vendor, contractor, etc., using only the payee’s email address. This eliminates the need to use checks or collect banking information, thereby fostering flexibility and security.
To make a payment, select Bento Pay™ from the Payments tab > Create a new payee or select an existing payee > Enter payee details and payment amount > Next > Review details > Confirm Payment.
After initiating a payment, the Payee will receive an email through which enables them to choose how they wish to receive the funds - via a one-time-use virtual card or a bank transfer.
Payees receiving Bento Pay™ have 30 days to accept the payment, after which the payment expires and the funds will be returned back to the payer's Bento account balance.
