You can pay vendors, via Bill Pay, for any business-related purpose in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and more. Additional countries are often added to the growing list.
You can only make an international payment when paying via bank account. Payment is sent to the vendor as a wire transfer. There's a $20 fixed fee for each international payment (if you pay via credit card there is an additional fee of 2.9%).
How to make an international payment:
1. Create a new bill and vendor for the payment. Click Schedule payment.
NOTE: Vendors with both a domestic and international address
You can’t make both domestic and international payments to the same vendor. If you've sent a domestic payment to a vendor in the past, the option for international payment won’t be available and you’ll need to create a new vendor.
Tip: Include whether the contact is domestic or international in Vendor name. Example: Tulips 4ever-The Netherlands.
2. Choose your payment method. International payments are only available when paying via bank transfer or Mastercard credit card (2.9% fee). Make sure you select a bank account or credit card as the payment method. Click Continue.
3. When choosing your payment delivery method, select International payment.
Note: Following payments
After your first payment, international payment will automatically be selected for that vendor.
4. Select the vendor's bank location from the dropdown list of countries.
NOTE: Unavailable countries
Some of the countries on the list aren’t yet available for international payments. When you select a country that’s not available, you’ll get a message that you can’t continue with the payment.
