PaymentsWhat Time Are Scheduled Payments Sent Out?
When scheduling one-time or recurring payments, it's important to note that once scheduled payments reach their due date, they are sent out at approximately 4am EST that day. We release scheduled payments early to ensure that all scheduled domestic wires and ACHs meet the same-day cut-off time, and are settled by that evening. This means you cannot schedule a payment on the same day you plan to release it. (For example, if you are scheduling a payment on January 2nd to be released on January 2nd the payment will not go out). If you do accidentally schedule a payment on the same day it needs to go out, it will not be released, nor will it default to the next business day automatically. Instead, that payment will be struck as overdue in your Scheduled Payments Tab. To send a payment in real-time you will need to select the black and green Make A Payment button in your banking tab. On the transaction details page of that payment, be sure to select the "Send Now" option (vs Send Later). This also means that any scheduled payments that need approval, must be approved prior to 4am EST on their due date, or the payment will not be released. For scheduled payments that are from Accounts Payable Bills only: Please make sure the Payment Date is set as a business day (Monday-Friday). Any payment dates set for weekend days (Saturday or Sunday) will not be sent, and be reflected as "overdue" in your Payments Tab.

PaymentsTransfer Faqs
Can I send bulk transfers from my Rho account? If you'd like to set up bulk transfers from your Rho account, reach out to us at 855-7-GETRHO or at Bank@Rho.co to discuss your specific needs. Bulk transfers are only permitted on a case-by-case basis, and companies must comply with any relevant laws and regulations. How do I view a list of all past transfers? In your Rho dashboard, navigate to the Banking tab > All Recent Activity > View All. Can I link Rho to PayPal? Yes, you can. To link a business PayPal account to Rho, first log in to PayPal. Find the 'Pay & Get Paid' tab. Then, select 'Banks & Cards' and 'Link a New Bank.' Under the list of banks to connect, you will need to type in any mix of letters (eg. abcdefghi) in the search bar in order to prompt the option 'Don't see your bank here?'. Once you see that option, click that to enter your Rho routing and account number details. When connecting your Rho account, double-check that the name of the entity on your PayPal account explicitly matches the name of the entity on your Rho account. Micro-deposits will be used to link your account. The Micro deposits should appear in your Rho account from PayPal within 2-3 business days. Once they arrive, you can log back into PayPal to confirm the amounts you received. Your connection will then be active. What Are the Differences Between ACHs and Domestic Wires? While ACHs and Domestic Wires are both domestic payments, there are a few differences between these types of payments: 1. They run on different networks An ACH transfer (a.k.a. direct deposit) is a method of sending funds from one bank to another using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. To process an ACH transfer, a request is made from the payor's bank account. Then, funds are sent via the ACH network to the recipient's bank. The Automated Clearing House network is a network of financial institutions, including banks and credit unions, that are batching transactions between them, guided by the rule-making organization, Nacha . ACH is a US-only network, thus not available for vendors outside the United States. Wire transfers are electronic interbank payments used to transfer funds directly from one entity's bank account to another's. Wire instructions include the bank account number and ABA bank routing number for the vendor receiving the money. Wire transfers are individual requests, while ACH transfers are handled in batches. For example, employee payroll checks are often directly deposited using ACH transfers. 2. Banks may have different routing numbers to accept ACHs or wires As these are two different types of payments, many banks have different routing numbers reserved for receiving ACHs, separate from the routing number they use to receive wires. Before sending a payment, be sure to check that the routing number you have for the recipient bank accepts ACHs, wires, or both. 3. Fees While Rho does not charge for sending and receiving ACHs or wires, other banks may have sending/receiving fees for these transfers. In general, at other banks, ACH transactions are lower-cost than wire transfers. 4. Settlement times Each financial institution sets its cutoff time policy for sending same-business-day bank wires. With wire payments, funds are immediately available within 24 hours of arriving in the vendor's bank account. At Rho, wires sent prior to 4:45 p.m. EST will arrive same-day. Wires sent after 4:45 p.m. EST will land the next business day. ACHs sent before 2 p.m. EST will land the same day. ACHs sent after 2 p.m. EST will land within 1-3 business days. 5. Ability to recall or dispute a payment ACHs are much easier to recall or dispute. Once funds have been wired, because of the immediacy, recalling erroneous transactions is much more difficult. Conclusion: Wire transfers and ACH transfers serve different needs. Wire transfers are best when speed and certainty are critical. ACH payments are good for small, frequent payments. As long as everybody involved trusts each other, its cost-effective to use this automated system. Common examples of ACH payments include: Direct deposit of employee pay or benefits from Social Security Automatic monthly bill payments to utilities, lenders, and other service providers Moving money between your accounts at different banks Automatic contributions to retirement accounts or education savings accounts Some merchants and organizations also like ACH transfers for one-off payments to avoid their bank's recipient wire fees. Can I connect my Rho account into a third party? Yes, connecting your Rho account to third-party services is supported via the Plaid integration or through Mastercard's Data Connection product, Finicity.

PaymentsHow To Connect To An External Bank Account
Connecting External Bank Accounts Rho partners with Plaid and Mastercard Data Connect to allow you to securely connect an external bank account. If your bank supports this functionality, linking a business checking account will allow you to initiate a linked-account transfer to fund your Rho account. To link an account, follow the steps below: Click Settings from the Toolbar on the left, then under the Business section choose External Bank Accounts . On this page, click the grey “Link Account” button in the top right corner of your screen. You will be prompted to choose between connecting an account for transfers or for credit verification. Follow the instructions to access your external financial institution and connect. From the Select Your Institution prompt, click the icon associated with your bank or enter the name of your bank in the Search field and select it. Enter your credentials, or a Login page for the bank displays. Enter the username and password associated with the external account and click Submit. After you validate the transaction via two-step authentication, when configured, the external account is linked to your Rho account and is listed in the Linked Accounts section. From the Select Your Institution prompt , click the icon associated with your bank or enter the name of your bank in the Search field and select it. Enter your credentials, and a Login page for the bank displays. Enter the username and password associated with the external account and click Submit. After you validate the transaction via two-step authentication, when configured, the external account is linked to your Rho account and is listed in the Linked Accounts section. Once connected, you can fund your Rho account and set up automatic card payments from your linked account. Note : If you have multiple checking accounts under one Business, you will not be able to directly link a "sub-account" to an external account. All external accounts are linked to the Rho account as a whole (subs included). However, when going to "deposit funds" in your Banking tab using our linked account feature, you can choose which sub-account to send funds to and from which linked external account the funds will originate. Troubleshooting Below are some of the errors you may encounter when connecting to your external bank account. Incorrect Credentials Your bank did not accept the username and password you used to log into your external bank account. Ensure you are using the same username and password you normally use to log into your third-party bank. If there were multiple institutional selections available for your bank (e.g., SVB Go vs SVB Online Banking), please ensure you selected the correct institution. If you are logging into the incorrect institution, you will receive an Incorrect Credentials error even if your username and password are correct. Additionally, some banks use a special "third-party application password" or "allow third-party access" setting for additional security. In this case, you will need to ensure you use this special password instead of the password you use to log into your financial institution directly on their website. Please reach out to Rho Client Service if you've verified your username and password but the error persists. Incorrect Institution Some institutions have different websites for their business and personal accounts. Always make sure you are choosing the institution you use for business banking. If you don't see your bank when you attempt to connect, try the second connection provider (Rho works with both Plaid and Mastercard Data Connect) or reach out to Rho Client Service. Temporary Connection Issue There may be temporary connection issues with our providers (Plaid and Mastercard Data Connect). Please wait a few minutes and try again. Authentication or Permission Issue These types of issues might arise when there is an authentication or permission problem with your account or user credentials which prevents a connection. Common causes: An incorrect answer to a security question presented by your institution Your Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device is inactive Your institution failed to send the one-time code for MFA authentication Your institution requires a special security configuration before third-party account connections can be established Your account is not fully set up at your institution Your institution is blocking access due to an administrative task that requires completion You or another user for your bank account did not agree to share, or has revoked, access to the data required for connection Your user credentials or permissions do not allow you to connect your account to external platforms Verify your institution's account settings to ensure third-party providers can connect and that you have active access to your account. Additionally, you may need to verify with your bank account admin to ensure you have sufficient credentials to create a connection. Alternatively, try connecting to a different account and institution. If the issue persists, try with a different connection provider (we support Plaid and Mastercard Data Connect) or submit a support ticket Linking multiple accounts from the same institution You can link external bank accounts for either deposits (account transfers) or credit verification . However, if you attempt to link two different accounts from the same financial institution , only one connection can remain active at a time: At this time, Rho does not support maintaining two separate connections from the same institution for different use cases.

You'll find these on your All Accounts Tab, on the right side under "View Documents, " or access them from the Account Details in the upper-right corner once you select the desired Account from the left-hand toolbar. If the instructions were followed correctly, ask the sender for some helpful information to help us investigate: For ACH transactions , request the ACH TRACE number (typically a 15-digit number). The sender's bank can provide this. We will also need the exact senders name, amount sent, and date sent. For domestic wire transactions , you'll need federal reference numbers (IMAD and OMAD details) from the sender. Again, we need the sender's name, amount, and date. For international wires , ask for the MT103 Data or SWIFT confirmation. Remember to acquire the sender's info, the amount sent, and the date.

PaymentsHow To Send An International Wire
Getting started To send an international wire in USD or another currency using Rho, first ensure you have set up the vendor, including their international payment method. You can check this by visiting the Vendor tab. Not sure if your vendor's location is supported? You can find out by reviewing the countries we support sending funds to here . Note: To send an international wire in a currency other than USD, please use the Banking tab. Rho's Accounts Payable module does not currently support sending international wires in other currencies. International USD Wire Fees at Rho While Rho does not charge additional fees for international wires sent in USD, such transfers can be subject to fees set by associated banks (recipient, correspondent, or intermediary banks) and/or the SWIFT network. To provide you with greater visibility, Rho shows you the FX fee total upfront when initiating your payment. To access this information, click the > arrow icon next to Total Fees. You can choose to absorb all fees that are incurred by recipient, correspondent, or intermediary banks in addition to any SWIFT network charges (for a flat rate of $15), by deducting them from your bank account. To cover all fees on the transfer, simply click the toggle to on (next to Cover all recipient delivery fees). Alternatively, you can choose to have your recipient pay these fees by deducting them from the total wire amount. To do so, ensure the toggle next to Cover all recipient delivery fees is turned off. Please note that these fee totals are only an estimate. Rho may not have visibility to additional fees incurred by the recipient, intermediary, or correspondent banks' fees while the funds are in transit. FX Transfer Rate at Rho Rho offers a market-leading 1% FX rate for foreign currency conversion and transmission (sending USD to another currency). Making a payment To send funds internationally to a vendor, navigate to the Banking tab. Click on the Move Funds button and select the Pay option. Who are you paying? From the Make a Payment page, select the desired vendor you wish to pay and click on the Continue button. Certain currencies including IDR, PHP, INR, and MYR are processed via local payments rails, not the SWIFT network. This means that once the funds leave Rho, we have limited visibility on the payment and cannot provide tracking information. How much are you paying? Next, select the checking account you wish to pay from and input the amount you wish to send to the vendor. Specify the value in US Dollars in the You Pay or the Vendor Gets field, and the Rho application will convert the value to include fees (1% FX rate) and the conversion rate if non-USD. You can expand the Total Fees section by clicking on the > arrow to view a more detailed breakdown of your transaction. For more information on how international wire fees and currency conversion rates are calculated, please refer to International Wire Fees (USD or Foreign Currencies) . Additionally, here, if applicable, you can choose to absorb all delivery fees that are incurred, or you can choose to have your recipient pay these fees by deducting them from the total wire amount. To do so, either turn on (or leave off) the toggle next to Cover all recipient delivery fees. Click Continue. The values are transferred to the Transfer Details page. Add more details On the next page, you will be prompted to enter additional information: Transfer reference : This is a unique identifier or message to reference a specific payment transaction. E.g., an invoice number Payment Reason: Select an explanation for the global transfer. Memo : The recipient will be able to see the memo when they receive payment. Add an Attachment (Please note that the recipient does not receive the attachment) Frequency: By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred only once (One Time Only). To specify a recurring transfer, enable Schedule for a future date . Here you will be able to select the desired Frequency and Send Date. All immediate transfers are displayed in your Banking Tab, and all scheduled transfers are displayed on the Scheduled Transfers page, which you can view in your Banking Tab. If you schedule a recurring transfer using the Frequency field, the Rho application bases the transfer on the date specified in the Send Date field. For example, if you schedule a monthly transfer (Every Month) with a scheduled date of 01/01/2025, then the first recurring transfer will occur on 02/01/2025 If you schedule a recurring transfer using the Frequency field, the Rho application bases the transfer on the date specified in the Send Date field. For example, if you schedule a monthly transfer (Every Month) with a schedule date of 01/01/2025, then the first recurring transfer will occur on 02/01/2025 Assign Department/Label: To assign the transfer to a specific Rho department or label, click on the desired option, and select the desired department name. Review your payment After you create the transfer, a confirmation page will be displayed. Review the transfer information, and then click the Confirm &Pay button. Please review international wire restrictions to ensure your wire will not be returned or fail. When you click the button, Rho sends a confirmation code using the two-factor authentication method that is specified in your Account Settings page. From the verification page, enter the code sent to your account and click Continue. Note: To verify the transfer using a different method, click the Use another method button and select another verification method (text message, phone call, or email). Tip for sending Wires: To ensure your wire transactions display your preferred business name, we suggest providing details in the memo/note section to include information "Sent from [Insert Business Name Here]." Please note that if a payment is scheduled in advance, the currency conversion rate may change from the time it is initiated to the time the payment is sent out. Please review international wire restrictions to ensure your wire will not be returned or fail. Additionally, please review which countries we support sending funds to: Which countries can I send an international wire transfer to? To ensure your vendor's location is supported. Make sure the beneficiary name matches the recipient’s account exactly. Business vendors should be added as a business, not an individual. Once a wire is sent, the beneficiary name can’t be changed, and the receiving bank may reject the transfer if the details don’t align. The conversion rates displayed in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect current or guaranteed exchange rates.
PaymentsHow To Send A Transfer From Rho
You can use Rho to send money to any person or business. To start, navigate to the Banking tab in your Rho dashboard, click the Move Funds button, and select the Pay option to start your transfer. On the next screen, select your vendor and then the Rho Vendor's Payment Account. If the Payment Account has not already been created, you can add a new one. On the Amount page, select the Desired Checking account you wish to pay from and enter the amount. After successfully selecting the vendor and entering the desired amount, you can add additional transaction information on the Details page. When you are finished, click the Continue button at the bottom of the screen. Frequency : By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred only once (One-Time Only). To specify a recurring transfer, toggle on Schedule for a future date and select the desired frequency: one-time only (default)—every day, every week, every month, and every year. When will the transaction begin processing?: By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred immediately (Now). To specify a later date, click on the calendar field to specify the desired date after toggling on Schedule for a future date. Note : If you schedule a recurring transfer, the Rho application bases the transfer on the date specified in the Send date field. For example, the transfer will execute at that specific date each month (Jan 20th, Feb 20th, etc.), regardless of whether it's a weekend or not, if the monthly cadence is set on a recurring transaction. Note that it will execute on that exact date, but it may not settle on that exact date, depending on the transaction type—settlement time may vary. If February has fewer days, it will be set to the last day of February; for example. choosing Jan 31 and setting a monthly recurring cadence would apply the transaction on Feb 29, Mar 31, Apr 30. Memo : Enter any notes or information to be associated with the transfer. Add Attachment : To attach a bill or invoice to the transfer, click the Add Attachment button. A dialog window will open, allowing you to navigate to the location where the file is located and then click Open. Add Department & Label : To assign the transfer to a specific Rho department or label, click on the relevant button and select the desired name. For more information about creating departments, see Create a New Department. You'll be taken to a confirmation screen where you can review transfer details for accuracy. Once you are satisfied, click Confirm & Pay to finish. ACH vs. Domestic Wires ACHs and Domestic Wires are both domestic payments. However, since these are two different types of payments, some banks reserve routing numbers for ACHs separate from those for wires. Before sending a payment, be sure to check that the routing number you have for the recipient bank accepts ACHs, wires, or both. Each financial institution sets its cutoff time policy for sending same-business-day bank wires. Domestic wires are typically processed and received at the recipient bank on the same day if they are issued before the 4:45 p.m. EST deadline. If issued after the deadline, the wire should arrive within 24 hours of being sent. ACH settlement time varies depending on various factors, such as the policy of the receiving bank or transaction amount. Typically, ACH transfers are received within 1 to 3 business days. If the ACH payment is created before 2 p.m. ET and is under $1mm, it should process on the same day.

Note that it will execute on that exact date, but it may not settle on that exact date, depending on the transaction type—settlement time may vary. If February has fewer days, it will be set to the last day of February; for example. choosing Jan 31 and setting a monthly recurring cadence would apply the transaction on Feb 29, Mar 31, Apr 30.

PaymentsHow To Cancel, Reverse Or Dispute A Bank Transfer
In the event that you have made an error on an outgoing payment (for example, sent funds to the wrong vendor or initiated a transfer for the wrong amount), you have a 30-minute window to cancel the transfer before it is released. To cancel a recently initiated transfer, click on the transfer item and select "Cancel Transaction" from the TransactionDetails prompt as shown below: Domestic Wires: Unfortunately, Rho does not have the ability to cancel a domestic wire transfer once it enters "Pending" status. Additionally, domestic wires typically cannot be reversed or recalled. Please exercise caution when initiating domestic wires to vendors by ensuring all details are correct. International Wires: Cancelations on International Wires can be attempted. Cancelations are most effective if the request comes within the same business day the funds are initiated. The more time passes, the less likely the cancellation becomes. Additionally, wires are typically unable to be reversed or recalled, but Rho is happy to attempt to do so. If you wish to attempt a recall, please reach out to clientservice@rho.co. ACH: While ACH transfers cannot be canceled once they are in Pending status, they can generally be reversed/recalled once they settle, within 2 business days. If you wish to recall an ACH, please reach out to clientservice@rho.co. Check: Printed checks can be canceled up until a recipient deposits the check and the funds are cleared by the recipient bank. A check reversal can be attempted post-deposit as well, but it is not guaranteed. To request a reversal, please reach out to clientservice@rho.co . Please note, Rho is always happy to request a bank transfer recall, reversal, or dispute; however, these actions depend on the cooperation of the recipient bank and may or may not be honored. Note that outgoing printed checks can be voided until a recipient deposits the funds; however, past the 30-minute cancellation window, the recipient may still receive the voided physical check in the mail. Treasury Deposits : You can cancel a Treasury deposit as long as it hasn’t been sent for processing. If your deposit is still pending, scheduled, or under review, you can cancel it. To check whether a deposit is eligible, go to the Treasury tab and view the Activity table. If you see (...) on the transaction row, the deposit can still be canceled. Any transaction that displays a settled status in your account can no longer be canceled. In the event you would like to attempt a transaction reversal, return, or dispute, please reach out to our Rho Client Service Team. Our team can always attempt one of these actions, but they are not guaranteed to be successful. Recalls for ACH and Wire transfers are free, and if successful, could take up to 4 weeks to be returned. Please note that failed wires may incur a small fee. For more information, please reference: Fees For Recalls & Failed Wires. To cancel a transfer, please reach out to our Client Service team by sending an email to clientservice@rho.co , reaching out to the Live Chat Support on our website, or giving us a call at +1 (855) 743-8746.
