Below you will find a list of common questions. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more help.
Which types of cards can I use?
- You can use Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover credit cards. Unfortunately debit or prepaid cards are not eligible at this time.
How long will it take my vendor to be paid?
- In most cases, your vendor will be paid within 2-3 business days.
Is [me] Bill Pay secure?
- Absolutely! Your information is managed by a third-party provider that follows the strictest security standards (PCI compliant) to process all credit card payments. MarginEdge does not keep your information, but we know it's securely handled and stored by a company who focuses exclusively on credit card payments.
How will bill payments show up on my credit card statement?
- Each vendor payment will show as an individual transaction on your credit card statement, listed as "MarginEdge Bill Pay" for the amount paid to the vendor. Credit card transaction fees will be charged and listed separately. If you happen to approve payments for multiple vendors at the same time, there will be a separate charge for each vendor payment, and only one charge for the transaction fees.
Why do I have to pay a transaction fee?
- As you know, credit card companies charges a fee to process the transaction that occurs anytime you use a credit card to make a payment. We pass this fee on to you to cover our costs. You’ll see the transaction fee itemized on the Bill Pay confirmation screen.
How is the fee handled?
- When you incur fees for paying by credit card, we will automatically book the expense to the GL account you specify when setting up your card. Then you can export the payment record to your accounting system.
Can I cancel a Pay By Card Payment?
- Yes, you can cancel credit card bill payment anytime BEFORE the process date.
