Pay bills in batches

Save time by grouping bills into batches and paying multiple suppliers at once.

With Apron, you don’t need to authorise every payment individually. You can:

  • Group bills by supplier – pay them with a single, combined payment.

  • Pay multiple suppliers in one batch – approve once, and Apron distributes the money to everyone seamlessly.

That means fewer approvals and less admin.

How to pay in batches

  1. Go to Bills in the Bill pay section

  2. Tick the boxes next to the bills you want to pay

  3. Click Review & Pay at the bottom

  4. Choose your payment method

  5. Apron sends the right amounts to each supplier automatically

Automated Grouping

When you pay multiple bills for the same supplier, Apron automatically groups them into a single payment. That way, the supplier receives one payment covering all their bills, instead of many separate transfers.

Payment references

How references work depends on what you’re paying:

  • One bill to one supplier – the payment uses the original invoice reference.

  • Multiple bills to the same supplier (grouped payment) – Apron combines them into a single payment with one clear reference (we generate it for you, but you can customise it).

Your suppliers receive regular bank transfers from us with your company's legal name shown as the sender. Regardless of the payment method you choose (Card/Open Banking/Bank Transfer), the payment appears as a standard bank transfer in the beneficiary’s account.
