Bill Payment Methods
Option 1: Pay via Ambrook
Ambrook offers a few ways to pay directly within the software. Click the dark green “Pay Online” button in the top right corner to open up the “Pay Bill” panel.
Confirm the bill details, and use the “Payment Method” dropdown to choose from your available payment options. If your preferred payment method is not available to you, contact Support to get it set up.
Option 2: Paying via mailed check
This option involves Ambrook mailing a physical check to the vendor’s address on your behalf. Funds for the payment will be withdrawn from your Ambrook Wallet on the day the check is cut.
You can choose when you’d like the check to be cut from the three options under the “Schedule” section. “Immediately” will trigger a check ASAP, “Just in Time” will wait until the final possible day while still ensuring payment will be made in time, and “Custom” gives you full control.
Make sure the vendor’s profile has their up-to-date mailing address, and choose your preferred send date (or work backwards using the preferred arrival date, to preserve cash flow).
Finally, click the “Schedule Payment” button.
Note: Checks by mail take up to 7 business days to arrive from the day they are sent, depending on USPS timelines. Please plan ahead accordingly!
Option 3: Paying via printed check
If you have physical check paper with your external bank account information on it, you can print checks directly from Ambrook and deliver them to your vendor. Contact support to configure this option.
Option 4: Paying via ACH payment
If you have your vendor’s account and routing number saved, you can pay via ACH from your Ambrook Wallet. Select their bank information from the “Deliver To” box and then choose a send date from the Schedule options. These payments typically take 2-3 business days to arrive, once triggered.
You can choose when you’d like the ACH payment to be initiated from the three options under the “Schedule” section. “Immediately” will trigger a payment ASAP, “Just in Time” will wait until the final possible day while still ensuring payment will be made in time, and “Custom” gives you full control.

Tips for Paying Multiple Bills
Need to pay several bills from the same vendor at once? Here's how to create one payment that covers multiple bills in Ambrook.
Quick Steps
Pay the first bill with the total amount
Click "Pay" on any bill from this vendor
Enter the sum of all bills you want to pay (not just this bill's amount)
Match the remaining balance
Find the payment transaction in your ledger
Match the remaining amount to your other unpaid bills
This creates a single ledger transaction linked to multiple bills.
Example:
You have two bills from XYZ Construction Company:
Bill 1: $100
Bill 2: $50
Total: $150
Steps:
Click "Pay" on Bill 1
Change the amount from $100 to $150
This matches $100 to Bill 1, leaving $50 unmatched
Go to your ledger and find the $150 transaction
Match the remaining $50 to Bill 2
Note: This works with any payment method.
