12 Sep 2024: Prevent duplicate bill payments

Introducing multi-factor duplicate bill detection, to help you avoid the costly mistake of paying the same bill twice.

Early duplicate bill document detection


When uploading or creating a new bill, Budgetly alerts you if the same document has been uploaded to another bill paid within the past 7 days. This real-time alert helps prevent duplicates early in the bill creation stage and ensures you’re only processing unique bills.

Multi-field cross-matching at time of payment 


When paying a bill, you will be alerted if 3 out of 5 key bill details: supplier, amount, reference, issue date, or due date match a previously approved or paid bill. This added layer of protection helps avoid duplicate payments, saving you time and money.

Easy access to the bill flagged as a duplicate

If a potential duplicate is detected, you can quickly review the previously paid bill, allowing you to verify details and take appropriate action before proceeding with payment.

Keep track of bills paid that were flagged as duplicates
