I had an extremely disappointing…errible Experience: No Explanation, No Support
I had an extremely disappointing experience with Melio Payments. I made a payment of **$2,400**, and shortly afterward, my account was suspended without any explanation. There was no prior warning, no clear reason provided, and my funds were effectively left in limbo.
What makes the situation even more frustrating is the complete lack of communication. I've sent multiple emails to their support team, but I haven't received any meaningful response or update. As a customer, I expect transparency and timely support, especially when my money is involved.
Suspending an account without explanation and then ignoring customer inquiries is unacceptable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Melio Payments to anyone who values reliable service and responsive customer support.

Hi Atul,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment this has caused. We understand how unsettling it is to have your account suspended without a clear explanation, especially when a payment is involved, and we want to help make this right.
We'd like to look into this further. If your payment never reached your vendor, we want to get to the bottom of that and ensure it's resolved.
Regarding the suspension, please know that we don't take these actions lightly. Our platform has a dedicated team that specializes in account reviews, and suspensions typically occur when an account doesn't align with our Platform's Terms of Service. We understand this can be frustrating without more context, and we'd like to help clarify what's going on with your account specifically.
Please reach out to us directly at reviews@melio.com, so we can look further into this.

WTF - Worst Customer Service Ever
WTF. Can't talk to a person, customer service is non existent except wrong answers via email that take up to 24 hours to come. Had banking info correct in quickbooks but somehow Melio pulled the wrong info and they will not help fix it. RUN LIKE HELL!! NO I would not recommend

Hi Allan,
Thanks for your review. We understand how this experience may have felt frustrating. Our records show that a Support Manager reached out to assist you with this issue. As you now know as they shared with you, that Quickbooks Desktop does not automatically sync data like a vendor's bank account with Melio, so the bank account will be needed to be updated directly in Melio to avoid any incorrect delivery issues.
Phone support is also available for customers with Subscription tiers of Boost or Unlimited plans. Other tiers have the options of Live Chat Support and emailing with the Support team.
We appreciate your feedback and are always working to improve Melio's customer experience.

Fraud and unethical practices
I had a failed wire transfer of a little over 16k. They did not tell me it did not go through, nor did they return the money. I lost a vendor because I thought for sure it was paid. I was using Melio through quickbooks online and there was no alerts, no texts no phone calls. I found out 2 years later that they still have my money. I'm not in a legal battle to try to get the money that they stole from me back.

Hi Davis,
Thanks for your sharing your experience. I can understand how this may have been a disappointing experience but to clarify Melio is a payment processing platform. Melio is not intending to hold or take customer funds. When a payment fails, we send about two email reminders around that time it failed with next steps for retrying or requesting a refund, though we don't send continuous follow-up alerts if no action is taken. If your funds haven't been resolved, please email us at reviews@melio.com, we'll be glad to assist you with this.

There is no staff
There is no staff. There is no live person to talk to, so whoever said in their review great staff they’re lying.
I have tried for 32 days to pay my attorney. I’ve been on Melio site for a year.. I designated a credit card to pay my bill and it took it out of my checking account, causing me all kinds of fee fees. It continues every single day to not take my credit card. I can’t pay my attorney.. just stupid AI answers robots that can’t help. There is no phone support. Worst company I’ve ever seen in my life.

Hi Terri,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration.
After reviewing your case, we identified some factors that contributed to the challenges you encountered while using the platform. Throughout this process, I do see our support team remained in contact with you via email to investigate this issue and provide assistance.
We'd also like to clarify that while we offer AI-powered self-serve prompt assistance, live support is available through email and chat. Phone support is available with for paid Boost & Unlimited plans. At this time, you were on a free trial, which limits support to email and live chat, but we understand this may not have matched the type of assistance you were seeking.
We appreciate your feedback and will share your experience with the appropriate teams as we continue working to improve our product and support experience.

Wouldn't recommend
I came across a public signup promotional offer and signed up after reviewing the terms and conditions. I sent my first payment and it was an okay-ish process but not that intuitive. There are better options on the market and I'll keep my existing setup.
Trust is all that there is in these types of companies. I fulfilled my end of the promotional signup and met the terms and conditions of the account. After reaching out to customer service they claim that the offer can be cancelled based on fraud or abuse. Poor form, complete trash way to speak to someone.

I would give this company a 0 if I could. This company was used as a secondary company to allow the transaction of a timeshare purchase transaction. I was the seller and the other company the buyer. I had to pay the buying company $800.00 to start the timeshare transfer. Melio should have verified that the transaction was completed and that the timeshare transfer was completed. THEY DID NOT!! They are a shell for scam companies, so be aware!!! They state that the payer agrees that the agreement is completed when you send the money to them (that they send to the receiver.) So they verify nothing as they state. They say that they protect the customer. THEY DO NOT! DO not use this company. They protect you from nothing.
UPDATED: In response to you, YOU certainly did not reach out to me until AFTER you forwarded my money. As I claim, Melio DID NOT DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO and that is act as a holding company for contractual agreements. You are lazy and you are a sham. USERS PLEASE BEAWARE. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!

Account suspended on day two without warning. Is this even a legitimate company?
I signed up and went through onboarding. The platform told me I was ready to receive money. So I created a payment link and started distributing it to customers.
The next day, after the payment link had begun to see use, my account was suspended without warning, which is making me look like a fool to customers and is having a very real impact on my ability to get paid.
Don't make the same mistake I did. Use literally anything else.
Update: It's been over a week and support has been completely unresponsive. There was a reply here on Trustpilot from Melio which offered help, but it seems that was just an attempt to save face publicly. To make matters worse, while my account is suspended, my payment link still appears to be up, misleading customers into thinking they can still submit payments to me through Melio. Taking bank info and payments then vanishing is scammer behavior, not legitimate business behavior.
I ended up using Helcim instead, which works better and has an amazing and highly responsive support team.
Update 2: After TWO WEEKS, I finally got a response from Melio. As far as I could tell, it was canned or just AI. It claimed that they can't explain the reason for their decision, but it was based on a "thorough review". I'm curious what exactly their "thorough review" entailed, because it definitely did not involve running a credit check, making any contact, or even knowing what my business does.
Helcim is still amazing. Just use them instead.

This is one of the worst payment platforms ever. The customer service/support is horrible and don't expect them to explain things to you or have an actual human to speak with to resolves issues. I have a legitimate business and they were asking me for documents that do not apply I have everything needed from the state and it's to prove I have a business and they still froze my payments and shut down my account and you can never get a real person on the phone except their outsourced customer service number who can't do anything to help you. I really wanted to like this platform but the more they let robots take over the horrible they get

Melio's AI randomly blocks payments
Melio randomly blocks payments due to AI-powered "compliance and acceptable use guidelines" including "payments between individuals". This includes vendors you may have paid in the past. In our case, we're a business (501(c)(3) charitable org) paying an individual artist for performing/exhibiting, and we are suddenly receiving random rejections due to unspecified issues. All these issues are flagged by AI, and impact our ability to pay vendors. As a 501(c)(3) with a lawyer on our board, we are very cautious about our use of funds, and yet we still receive random rejections from Melio Payments.
