Pay vendors straight from your accounting

Bill Pay is the payments feature inside Norman: bills arrive by email, upload, or e-invoice, get approved, and go out as SEPA payments: the journal entry, bank match, and VAT line land in the same system automatically. No bouncing between your bank portal and your bookkeeping tool.

FAQ

Can Norman capture bills from email automatically?

Yes. Bills can enter the workflow from email, uploads, and structured e-invoices.

Does Norman send payments automatically?

Norman prepares payment data, open bills, and approvals. Final authorization stays controlled inside the payment or banking flow.

How does reconciliation work after payment?

After payment, the bank transaction is matched to the incoming bill so payables and bookkeeping stay current.

When does Bill Pay make sense?

Bill Pay makes sense when you have multiple vendors, tools, or recurring incoming bills and do not want to track open payables in email or spreadsheets.
