Frequently asked questions

How does the Relay bank account work?

When you join Relay your business is given its own Relay bank account. This account is unique to your business and is where you keep funds reserved to pay your suppliers. If you receive payment from a customer it will be instantly available in this account. You can withdraw funds from Relay to your verified bank account at any time. All customer funds are held on bare trust in separate bank accounts at BNZ. This ensures that your funds are completely segregated from the business operations of Relay Ltd.



How much does it cost to make prompt payments using Relay?

It is free to offer prompt payment and to make payment to your suppliers via Relay. Suppliers will be charged a service fee when they accept prompt payment. The service fee is calculated on a daily basis according to the required rate of return you set. Service fees are shown clearly to suppliers directly as part of each prompt payment offer.



How do prompt payment rewards work?

Relay rewards you with instant cash back when you pay your suppliers promptly. Prompt payments help suppliers to improve their cash flow. When you create a prompt payment offer we combine it with other active offers in your supply chain and dynamically generate targeted prompt payment offers to downstream businesses who have requested prompt payment.



How long does it take to setup Relay?

Most businesses can be up and running in minutes. It's easy to import approved invoices by connecting your ERP or accounting software. You can also upload invoices manually or create them directly in Relay. If you are a larger business we offer a custom integration to your ERP at no charge if required (Conditions Apply). Please contact us to discuss your needs.



Why do I need to get verified?

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the law requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who forms a business relationship or conducts an occasional transaction via Relay. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
