Similar issue with customer service. No one to talk to. We use QBO/Melio to pay our vendors with direct ACH bank information. We were notified by our vendor with over due invoices. After further investigating, I checked my mailbox for the confirmation e-mail that payment has been scheduled with payment paying from our account to vendors account (last 4 number of accounts) which is correct.  However it was sent to a different vendor’s debt account without our notice.  Melio stated that our vendor’s email was compromised. I did not know that payments to vendors can change where it’s deposited. Vendors have the option to switch bank information before final deposit (Melio’s attempt to grow their user base with our vendors).  So, as we stand. My vendor has not received the last 3 payments totally over $8,000. And no resolution from QBO/Melio other than we have exhausted our option to retrieving the payments that were sent. My biggest issue with this is that the vendors routing number and account number is irrelevant and nothing we can do to make sure it gets deposited to the accounts we enter into QBO/Melio. Below is their direct response.

Hi Micah, 
 
Your vendor received an email from Melio allowing them to receive their payment via push to debit. Our goal with this feature is to create an exceptional experience for your vendor and allow them the opportunity to get paid faster. It sounds like your vendor's email was compromised and the payment was accepted by a third party. Unfortunately, our recovery efforts failed and we have exhausted all viable options of recouping the funds.
 
I have submitted your request regarding an "on/off switch" for the vendor to be able to make changes to the delivery method and the request for a notification email to be sent to the payor to our product team for review! 
Best Regards,
Nicki
