That's all - you have become a full member and can use all the benefits of Abillio! -
What taxes and commissions will be charged?
Value added tax (depending on clients' country, usually 0%, except for Estonia) and Abillio service fee 5%. In addition, bank fees will be deducted from the amount to be paid out - payout to a personal bank account in SEPA network 0.80 EUR/payout, payout to a personal bank account in SWIFT network - 5 EUR/payout. -
Is there a limit to the amount of money that can be paid out during the year? Is there a limit on the number of invoices?
No, there are no restrictions. However, invoices exceeding EUR 10,000 may be subject to an additional check and an invitation to explain the nature of the transaction and the origin of the money in accordance with AML requirements. -
Can I invoice customers abroad? What currencies abill.io supports?
Yes, you can send invoices to your international customers because Abillio provides you with a VAT number. You can create invoices and receive payments in Euros, (EUR), US Dollars (USD), British Pounds (GBP), Canadian Dollars (CAD), and Australian Dollars (AUD). However, if your client pays in a currency other than supported ones, the received amount may differ depending on the currency exchange rate on the receipt day, as international transfers may take more than one day. In this case, your invoice amount will be adjusted post-factum to match the amount converted to your currency. When adding a customer, it is important to remember to enter their tax identity number (TIN) and VAT ID number. VAT rate will be 0%, except for businesses located in Estonia (22%). -
Can I write off expenses in the same way as in the company?
It will be possible soon, stay tuned! -
What if my client asks for a signed service agreement or any other document?
We provide a streamlined service agreement that must be digitally approved by the customer upon receipt of the invoice and protects both your and our interests. If you believe it requires clarification, please contact us at [email protected]. If you need to sign a custom agreement or any other document, please include Abillio OU company information (find it on our home page footer section) and send it to [email protected]. We will digitally sign it and send it back to you. -
How long does it take to receive my withdrawal?
Money will be available for withdrawal to your private bank account once the customer has paid the invoice. Withdrawal can be initiated in the Payout tab or will be processed automatically if you have selected "Automatic payout" while creating the invoice. Payouts are made 4 times a day (9:00, 13:00, 17:00, 20:00). Any transfer of up to 15,000 euros within SEPA network will be completed the same day. Abillio uses Wise banking services. Wise’s global payments network enables over 57% of customers’ cross-border payments to settle instantly (in under 20 seconds), and over 90% to settle in under an hour. Payments within SWIFT network - the speed with which the money arrives at the beneficiary bank is dependent on clearing - so it is impossible to predict how quickly the money will be received (usually within a few hours up to 2 days), but money transferred on Friday evening will arrive on Monday morning.
