Want to pay suppliers with your card, but they don't accept cards? We solve this by charging your card and sending suppliers a bank transfer.
How it works
Choose card payment when paying suppliers
We charge your card for the payment
We send a bank transfer to your supplier
Your supplier gets paid, and you earn rewards
Timing
When your supplier gets paid depends on when you authorise the payment:
Before midnight UTC: your supplier is paid the next working day, around 2 PM.
After midnight UTC: the payment counts as made on the next day, so your supplier is paid one working day later.
Your card is charged as soon as you authorise the payment, but your supplier receives the bank transfer at the time above.
Paying with Amex? The cut-off is earlier (7 PM UTC). See Pay with American Express for details.
Supplier experience
Your suppliers receive regular bank transfers from us with your company's legal name shown as the sender. They won't know you paid by card - it appears as a standard bank transfer. You can customise the payment reference that appears on their bank statement.
Accepted cards
We accept most of the common card types:
Visa and Mastercard
Diners Club, Discover, JCB
Bancontact, Cartes Bancaires
Benefit Payment Gateway, Knet, Mada
QPAY, UnionPay International
Your Apron Card works here too - it's treated like any other Mastercard
Important: Please note that Apron only supports cards issued in the UK, the US and Singapore. The card may be denominated in any currency. Amex is available to selected customers to start with, and we'll open it up to more over time. Check the details in: Pay with American Express.
Pricing
A fee applies, which you’ll see on screen before you confirm.
