Just an email address. That’s the whole delivery detail—so a business you’ve never paid before can be paid today, without a form, a phone call, or a security conversation.

The card arrives by email and runs through their existing point-of-sale terminal, on their schedule, at any hour. No adjustments, no new software, no Melio account, no portal.
