Monetize Low-Value Payments

Paymode, our vendor-funded B2B payments network, is accessed directly within our industry-leading commercial Digital Banking platform. It gives your customers a seamless way to pay vendors, while you both earn non-interest income on every payment.

Every time your business customers pay a vendor using Premium ACH, a proprietary payment type within Paymode for Digital Banking, a rebate is generated. It’s like an incentive model that feels a lot like cash back. The Premium ACH payment type turns routine, low-value payments into a new source of incremental income for both your bank and your business customers.

How does Paymode integrate with my digital banking platform?

Paymode for Digital Banking is embedded directly within Bottomline’s Commercial Digital Banking platform, giving your business customers a seamless way to enroll and make payments without redirects or additional logins. Through this integration, banks gain the industry’s only commercial digital banking platform combined with a B2B payments network, enabling Premium ACH payments, vendor validation, and payment monetization—all inside the digital banking experience.

What different payment types work with Paymode?

Paymode currently supports Premium ACH, a proprietary payment type that generates rebates for both banks and their business customers.
Additional payment methods including virtual card and check conversion into Premium ACH—are part of the near‑term roadmap.

Why should a business customer choose to pay their suppliers through Paymode for Digital Banking?
  • Earn rebates on all Premium ACH payments vs a traditional ACH payment

Is the customer enrollment process easy?

It is. It’s a self-service offered directly within your Digital Banking platform. It takes only a few steps to enroll, and businesses will see all the benefits of enabling Paymode and a few differences between traditional ACH and Premium ACH.

What will it cost our customers to use Paymode?

Business customers pay no direct cost to receive value from Premium ACH; instead, Paymode uses a vendor‑funded rebate model, like credit card rewards. Banks pay only a small, fixed services fee to enable Paymode within their digital banking environment, delivered through Bottomline’s services team.

What customers can take advantage of the Paymode Business Payments Network?

Bottomline’s network is trusted by 600,000+ verified vendors, enabling broad adoption across small businesses, mid‑market companies, and large enterprises. Any business customer using your Bottomline‑powered Commercial Digital Banking platform can enroll and transact through Paymode.

  • Guaranteed good funds
  • Faster receipt of payments reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
  • Reduce fraud risk with secure ACH delivery
  • KYC and AML compliance checks built-in
How long after enrollment can a customer pay a vendor?

Following a few setup steps after enrollment, businesses can begin paying their supplier quickly. Instructions are provided directly in the Digital Banking platform for simplicity and to alleviate calls to the bank.

Does this compliment or hurt my current credit card fee income?

Offering this payment type to your business customers complements your existing credit card programs by replacing traditional ACH and check payments—creating an additional revenue stream.

Is Paymode secure and compliant?
