You can select multiple open bills, even across different vendors, and pay them all from one screen. Ambrook automatically groups your selections by vendor, send date, and payment method, so you can review everything at once instead of paying bills one at a time.
Bulk Bill Pay supports payment by mailed check, ACH, and printed check, for bank accounts with check printing enabled.
Bulk Bill Pay works from a web browser (log in from a computer to select and pay multiple bills at once) — it isn't in the mobile app yet, where bills are paid one at a time.
Selecting Bills to Pay
Navigate to Bills.
Select the bills you'd like to pay using the checkboxes in the left of each row. You can select bills from multiple vendors in the same batch.
Click Pay at the top right to open the Bulk Bill Pay review screen.
Reviewing and Organizing Payments
Once you're in the review screen, Ambrook automatically groups your selected bills by Vendor, and you can adjust this to any of six groupings:
Vendor
Due Date
Payment Method
Pay From
Send By Date
Arrival Date
This applies to printed checks too: several bills to the same vendor combine onto one printed check, and each bill is listed on the check stub.
Customizing your view: not all columns are shown by default. Click the icon in the top right of the table to add columns like send date, deliver date, or payment method so you can see exactly what you need before paying.
Choosing a Payment Method
For each bill, select a payment method:
Mailed check — Ambrook mails a physical check to the vendor's address on file.
ACH — Sent using the vendor's saved bank account and routing number. No bank details on file? Request them from the vendor.
Printed check — Ambrook prepares the checks as PDFs for you to print on your own check paper. Available for bank accounts with check printing enabled. See Printing checks below.
Automatic grouping: if multiple bills for the same vendor are set to pay on the same date via the same method, Ambrook combines them into a single payment automatically. You don't need to do anything extra to avoid sending separate checks or ACH transfers for the same vendor and date.
Printing Checks
You can print checks directly from Ambrook onto your bank's voucher-style paper. Get started with check printing.
When a bill is set to Printed check, choose the checking account to pay from under Pay From. Only accounts with check printing enabled appear. If yours isn’t listed, contact support to turn it on.
Ambrook fills in the next check number for each check from that account’s sequence. To change one, click the Check # cell and enter a new number. Each number must be unique for that account.
Click Send & Print. Your checks open as PDFs in new browser tabs, one PDF per account. Load your voucher-style check paper and print each PDF with the Fit to Page setting.
If your browser blocks pop-ups, Ambrook shows an Open PDF button for each PDF so you can open them manually. To avoid this next time, allow pop-ups from ambrook.com.
If a check doesn’t print, the payment is still recorded. Open the bill and choose Print Check to print it on its own.
Editing Vendor or Bill Details
If something looks off — a vendor's mailing address, a bill's due date or amount — you can jump into fixing it:
Click into a vendor's icon to open and edit their vendor details, then click save to return to the multiple payment flow.
Click into a bill to open and edit its bill details. After editing the bill, you will need to re-enter the multiple payment flow.
Address Verification Warnings
If Ambrook can't verify a vendor's mailing address for a mailed check payment, the address cell will display as orange with a warning indication. We recommend resolving the warning by correcting the vendor's address before sending the payment, to avoid delays or returned mail.
Skipping a Payment
If you'd rather not pay a specific bill in this batch, you can skip it without removing it from your selection or losing your place in the review screen:
Click the "..." at the right of the row
Select Skip payment.
Skipped bills remain open and unpaid, and you can return to pay them individually or in a future batch.
Insufficient Balance
If your Ambrook Wallet balance isn't enough to cover the full batch of payments, Ambrook will prompt you to deposit funds, then pay. You won't need to start over or split your batch manually if you choose this option.
When prompted, choose your funding source and deposit amount.
All payments that were previously marked "Pay Now" will become "Deposit then Pay", and will be scheduled to be sent after the deposit lands in your Wallet.
Note: While paying multiple bills at once, if you have sufficient funds to pay some bills now but not all, all affected bills will be rescheduled. If you'd like to pay some bills now and some later, manually edit the "send by" or "arrive by" dates for individual payments in the table.
Payment Corrections
Once a payment is sent, it usually can't be undone — but if you catch a mistake quickly, reach out to our support team right away and we'll do what we can.
Mailed checks can sometimes be stopped before they're mailed, and can be voided before they are cashed — the sooner you reach out, the better our chances.
ACH payments cannot typically be reversed once they are sent, though we're happy to look into it.
Printed checks aren’t sent by Ambrook. To undo one, open the bill, click the three dots on the check under Payments, and choose Void check.

FAQs
Can I pay bills from different vendors in the same batch?
Yes. Bulk Bill Pay is designed to let you select and pay bills across multiple vendors at once. Ambrook groups them by vendor, date, and method behind the scenes.
Will I get separate payments for bills to the same vendor?
Not if they're scheduled for the same date and payment method. Those are automatically combined into a single check or ACH payment.
Can I still pay a single bill at a time?
Yes. See Paying Bills on Ambrook to learn more.
Is printed check support available yet?
Yes. Set the payment method to Printed check on each bill, then click Send & Print. See Printing checks above.
