Bill.com’s COVID Impact

While the global crisis is hitting most companies, Bill.com believes that it is in a strong position overall. Its platform provides its customers with the ability to monitor their finances closely and react quickly. Since most SMBs still relied on paper-based manual processes, the current remote working conditions have nudged them to accelerate the transition to digital financial operations.

In terms of resiliency, it is not very concerned given that its demand generation is not reliant on in-person events like annual user conferences. It markets its platform directly to SMBs through online digital marketing referral programs and strategic partnerships. Its go-to-market model is not reliant upon feet on the street as its direct sales motion is 100% inside sales. Its offering of risk-free trial makes it easy for customers to get onboard the platform quickly anytime, anywhere from any device.

Bill.com also realizes the importance of expanding its partnerships. It was already integrated with large financial institutions such as the Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and American Express. Recently it announced a new agreement with Wells Fargo. As part of the partnership, Wells Fargo will power a new digital AP and AR solution for its treasury management clients by integrating Bill.com into its commercial electronic office online portal. The service will be launched later this year and is expected to help improve its offerings for small and mid-sized business AP and AR workflow solutions.

Last month, it also expanded its partnership with JPMorgan Chase. As part of the expansion, Chase’s virtual card offering is now integrated into Cashflow360. Cashflow360 is Chase’s digital platform for businesses and includes Bill.com. The integration will provide Chase customers with an alternative way to pay bills with faster delivery of payment, enhanced spending controls, and simplified reconciliation.

Its stock is currently trading at $69.37 with a market capitalization of $5 billion. It had fallen to a low of $23.61 in March this year. Bill.com had listed on the NYSE in December last year when it raised $216 million at an IPO price of $22 apiece and a valuation of $1.6 billion. Prior to listing, it had raised $279.7 million through venture rounds. Its last venture round had valued the organization at $1.1 billion.
