To keep small business in business.
5% employee growth in 12 months
Small businesses face considerable inflexibility in how and when they pay for goods and services. Indeed, ACH payments or checks from customers are usually their only payment rails with absolutely zero flexibility to pay over time. In response, Melio delivers a B2B payments platform that allows every business owner to manage their invoices easily and effectively, giving them the flexibility to pay in exactly the way they want.
The take-up has been tremendous, fuelled in part by the recent accelerated adoption of digital solutions. The company's biggest threat is competition from other fintechs, though while many of its contemporaries serve larger "small" businesses, Melio caters to truly tiny establishments - of which there are millions in the US and hence a huge potential market.
Over the years, Melio has focussed on expanding its capabilities. It launched a mobile app to allow users to track their payments wherever they are, as well as a tool to help small businesses pay over time. It has also raised considerable funding and boasts a ten-fold increase in revenue between 2021 and 2024.
