Pay an invoice

How to pay a bill a business sent you through Finli, schedule it for the due date and what the statuses mean.

When a business bills you through Finli (or their bank's version of it), you'll get an email or text with a secure link to your invoice. You don't need an account to pay.

Pay your invoice

  1. Open the link in the email or text.
  2. Review the invoice.
  3. Choose a payment method: - Bank account (ACH): free. See Pay with your bank account. - Credit or debit card: the business may add a 3.5% processing fee. If so, it's shown before you pay. - Apple Pay: on supported Apple devices, for paying today. The same card fee may apply.
  4. Under Schedule Payment, choose when to pay.
  5. Select Pay Now, or the button for the option you chose.

Payment timing options

  • Today: pay now.
  • Due Date: schedule the payment for the invoice's due date.
  • Autopay: pay this and future invoices from this business automatically. See Autopay.

Due Date and Autopay need a free Finli account, so you'll be asked to log in or sign up. They aren't available with Apple Pay. If the due date has already passed, you'll be asked to pay now.

Your receipt

After you pay, you'll get a receipt by email or text. With a Finli account, you can also see your payments and download receipts from My Payments.

What the statuses mean

An invoice shows whether it's Issued (ready to pay), Past Due (not paid by the due date), Completed (paid) or Canceled.

Your payment can be Scheduled (set for a later date), Processing (on its way), Paid, Failed (didn't go through, so the invoice is still unpaid), Refund Processing, Partially Refunded or Refunded.

Expecting a bill that hasn't arrived?

  • Check your spam or junk folder. Finli emails come from support@finli.com or noreply@finli.com, usually with the business's name as the sender. Adding those addresses to your contacts helps.
  • Make sure the business has the right email address or phone number for you. Only the business can change the contact details on your customer record.
