Late vendor payments can create serious disruptions. Whether you’re managing a fast-moving warehouse, overseeing a retail operation, or coordinating external services, maintaining reliable vendor relationships is non-negotiable. Unfortunately, outdated payment methods—like mailing paper checks or slow wire transfers—introduce delays and erode trust. To meet modern business demands, forward-thinking teams are shifting to direct deposit solutions that are fast, secure, and easy to manage. Zil Money goes a step further, offering advanced features like Same Day ACH and credit card-funded payments—bringing flexibility and control back into your hands.

Paper Checks and Direct Deposit—Options That Work for You

Paper checks remain a trusted and widely used payment method, offering a tangible and familiar way to complete transactions. Many vendors appreciate the formality and documentation that come with a mailed check, and it continues to be a preferred option for certain business relationships.

For times when speed is a priority, direct deposit provides a fast, fully digital alternative—sending funds directly to your vendor’s account in just a few steps. No matter the method you choose, both options are secure and reliable, allowing you to match the payment style to each vendor’s needs.

Why ACH Is the New Standard for Business Payments

ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfers have become the preferred method for B2B transactions—and the numbers speak volumes:

  • 7.35 billion B2B payments processed via ACH in 2024
  • $58.24 trillion moved across businesses
  • 11.6% growth in transaction volume
  • 7.5% increase in dollar value

Why the shift? Because ACH is faster, more affordable, and far more predictable than paper-based options. And with tools like Same Day ACH, payments can be made instantly—perfect for those urgent, last-minute scenarios.

With platforms like Zil Money, there’s no learning curve or setup headache. Just a simple, intuitive interface that lets you pay vendors quickly, securely, and with full control.

    Use Your Credit Card—Even If Your Vendor Doesn’t Accept It

    Managing payments is easier when you have more ways to fund them. With the platform, you can use your credit card for vendor payments, even if the vendor doesn’t process cards directly. The payment is then delivered in the format your vendor prefers:

    This way, your vendor receives payment in their preferred method, while you can enjoy the flexibility, rewards, and points that come with using your card.

    Pay Once, Pay Regularly, or Pay Big—It’s All Covered

    Every vendor has their own payment cycle, and the platform makes it easy to adapt. Whether it’s a single project payment, a recurring service fee, or a high-value transaction, you can choose the method that fits:

    • One-time ACH for the occasional or unexpected
    • Recurring transfers for consistent services
    • Same Day ACH when time is critical
    • Wire transfers for large or international transactions
    • Paper checks for traditional partners

    You can also attach invoices, add notes, and track everything in one organized dashboard—making payment management seamless from start to finish.

    Security That’s Built In, Not Bolted On

    Security isn’t a feature—it’s the foundation. The platform is designed with the highest standards in mind, so you never have to second-guess your payment process.

    As a registered NACHA member, the platform follows strict ACH network rules. It also meets:

    • SOC 1 & SOC 2 – for secure internal controls
    • PCI DSS – to protect card data
    • HIPAA & GDPR – for personal data compliance
    • ISO 27001 & 9001 – for information and quality security
    • CCPA & NIST 800-53 – for advanced data protection

    Every transaction is encrypted, recorded, and secured—so you can focus on your business, not potential breaches.
