Item 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Our mission is to make it simple to connect and do business.

We are a leading financial operations platform for small and midsize businesses (SMBs). As a champion of SMBs, we are automating the future of finance so businesses can thrive. Our integrated platform helps businesses to more efficiently control their payables, receivables, and spend and expense management. Hundreds of thousands of businesses rely on BILL’s proprietary network of millions of members to pay or get paid faster. Headquartered in San Jose, California, we are a trusted partner of leading U.S. financial institutions, accounting firms, and software providers.

BILL's purpose-built, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled financial software platform creates seamless connections between our customers, their suppliers, and their clients. Businesses on our platform generate and process invoices, streamline approvals, make and receive payments, manage employee expenses, sync with their accounting system, foster collaboration, and manage their cash flow. We have built sophisticated integrations with popular software solutions, banks, card issuers, and payment processors, enabling our customers to access these mission-critical services quickly and easily. Our integrated platform also includes BILL Spend and Expense, our spend and expense management product, which provides a solution for businesses to have smart corporate cards, build and monitor budgets, manage payments, and eliminate the need for manual expense reports.

As of June 30, 2025, approximately 493,800 businesses used our solutions and processed approximately $330 billion in Total Payment Volume (TPV) during fiscal 2025. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 8.3 million network members have paid or received funds electronically using our platform. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Key Business Metrics” for definitions and a detailed discussion of our key business metrics.

Our Solution

Our platform automates the SMB back office and enables businesses using our solutions to pay their suppliers and collect payments from their clients, acting as a system of control for their accounts payable, accounts receivable, and spend and expense management activities. As a result, our platform frees businesses using our solutions from cumbersome legacy financial processes and provides the following key benefits:

•Automated and Efficient. Our AI-enabled platform helps businesses using our solutions pay their bills efficiently and get paid faster. We provide tools that streamline the transaction lifecycle by automating data capture and entry, routing bills for approval, and detecting duplicate invoices.

•Integrated and Accurate. We provide an end-to-end platform that connects businesses using our solutions to their suppliers and clients. Our platform integrates with accounting software, banks, card issuers, and payment processors, enabling businesses using our solutions to access all of these mission-critical partners easily. Because we provide a comprehensive view, customers can more easily find inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and fix them quickly.

•Digital and Secure. We enable secure connections and storage of sensitive supplier and client information and documents, such as invoices and contracts, and make them accessible to authorized users on any device, from nearly anywhere.

•Visible and Transparent. With our solutions, customers can easily view their transaction workflows, create budgets, and manage spend, enabling them to gain deeper insight into their financial operations, and manage their cash flows.

What Sets Us Apart

•Purpose-Built for SMBs. Our platform provides SMBs with core functionality and value-added services generally reserved for larger companies. Through our cloud-based desktop and mobile applications, SMBs can connect and do business from nearly anywhere, any time. Our platform offers a variety of payment solutions which enhances the experience for both buyers and suppliers in a transaction.

•Diverse Distribution Channels. We leverage both direct and indirect channels - accounting firms, financial institution partners, and other software integrations - to efficiently go-to-market.

•Large and Growing Network. As accounts receivable customers issue invoices, and accounts payable customers pay bills, they connect to their clients and suppliers, driving a powerful network effect. This aids our customer acquisition efforts by increasing the number of businesses connected to our platform, which then become prospects.

•Large Data Asset. We have a large data asset as a result of processing millions of documents and billions of dollars in business payments annually for businesses using our solutions. By leveraging our machine learning capabilities, we generate insights from this data that drive product innovation.

•Proprietary Risk Management Expertise. Leveraging our data, our proprietary risk engine has trained upon millions of business-to-business ACH, check, card, and wire transactions, enabling us to keep businesses using our solutions’ funds secure and to manage our own risk exposure.

•Experienced Management Team and Vibrant Culture. Our management team has deep experience with SMBs, payments, software-as-a-service companies, AI, accounting firms, and financial institutions. We have built a unique culture that resonates strongly with employees.

Our Platform

Our purpose-built, integrated platform leverages our ability to see both sides of a transaction and can easily connect both transaction parties. This promotes the rapid exchange of information and funds, with strong network effects and greater monetization opportunities as more customers adopt our platform. Our platform also expands the ability of businesses using our solutions to real-time budget for, monitor, and approve employee expenses across organizations of all sizes. Our integrated platform enables businesses using our solutions to navigate our product offerings easily, and to gain more visibility and control, empowering them to better manage their finances.

Accounts Payable Automation

Our accounts payable automation service streamlines the entire payables process, from the receipt of a bill, through the approvals workflow, to the payment and synchronization with the accounting system. Here are some highlights of our service:

•Visibility at a glance – Through our platform, businesses using our solutions gain a comprehensive view of their cash inflows and outflows.

•Document management – BILL automatically assigns a dedicated email address to each customer to provide to its suppliers. Suppliers use that email address to send invoices to the customer’s dedicated BILL inbox. Alternatively, scanned invoices can be uploaded directly through our application. Once uploaded, we store the bills securely, linking them to the associated supplier. With a single click, customers can use our search feature to scan documents quickly and resolve open questions. Our document management capabilities help businesses using our solutions make payment decisions, answer supplier questions, and provide support to accountants and auditors.

•Intelligent bill capture – We have automated the capture of data from bills by leveraging our proprietary AI capabilities. Incoming bills are machine-read, and critical data fields, including due date, amount, and supplier name, are pre-populated. The customer's Accounts Payable staff can review the result and make any adjustments required, and our platform routes the bill internally for approval.

•Digital workflows and approvals – Our platform speeds approval processes through policy-driven workflows. Much of this activity takes place while people are on-the-go: one of the top three uses of our mobile app is bill approvals. Our platform proactively suggests payment dates based upon a bill’s due date, helping customers avoid late payment penalty fees. Businesses using our solutions assign each user a role: administrator, payor, approver, clerk, or accountant. Each role has its own entitlements to ensure appropriate checks and balances in the back office.

•Collaboration and engagement – Our platform promotes collaboration. Our in-app messaging capabilities make communications between businesses using our solutions and their employees, vendors, and clients, easy. For example, BILL allows administrators and payors to remind approvers to act, or delegate payment authority when a key employee is unavailable. Our platform creates a clear audit trail that becomes invaluable in the event of an audit, or for tax compliance.

Accounts Receivable Automation

Our accounts receivable service automates the entire process, from the creation of an invoice and delivery to the client, to funds collection and synchronization back to the accounting system. Here are some highlights of our service:

•Easy invoicing – Using a simple template, customers can easily create electronic invoices on our platform and insert their own logos to customize them. If required, our platform also enables the printing and mailing of paper invoices. Many accounts receivable customers take advantage of our recurring invoice feature.

•Digital workflows and visibility – Our platform automates and simplifies electronic invoice creation, delivery, and collection of funds. Using our progress bar, customers have complete visibility into the accounts receivable process. When both parties to a transaction are in our network, businesses using our solutions can see when their invoices are delivered, opened, authorized to be paid, and when payment was received. Invoices and supporting documents like contracts are readily accessible and notes can be entered for future reference.

•Collaboration and engagement – To make paying an invoice easy, we offer a customizable, branded client payment portal. Clients receive a link to an electronic invoice accessible on the Bill.com site. From this portal, the client can make a payment via ACH or credit card within seconds. For reference purposes, the client has ongoing access to bills and associated payments within the portal. Just like our accounts payable service, our in-app collaboration tools make communications between the accounts receivable customer and its clients easy and trackable.

Spend and Expense Management

With BILL Spend and Expense, spending businesses gain robust spend and expense management tools, helping them spend smarter. Our spend and expense management product provides businesses full visibility into their spend, by giving businesses the ability to issue any employee their own BILL Divvy Card, a charge card for business expenses. Every card provides access to charge card lines originated through our card issuing partner banks (Issuing Banks) and is linked to proactive spend controls. Managers control their budgets by team through the assignment of individual permissions. Employees can request funds from their phones, and budget owners or admins can approve or deny spend requests on-the-go from a push notification to their phone. Spending businesses can leverage a single, centralized budget or opt for a more sophisticated scenario, where budgets are established by department, team, or project. Rather than building a business budgeting strategy using outdated numbers in a static spreadsheet, our budgeting software syncs automatically with the employee's Mastercard or Visa cards, while also facilitating reimbursements and vendor spend. The intuitive web and mobile applications enable budget owners to drill down into spending by department, team, project, or individual. Whether on-the-go or in the office, an SMB can view up-to-date spend against budgets, so they always know where they stand.

We market BILL Spend and Expense to potential spending businesses and issue business-purpose charge cards through our partnerships with Issuing Banks. When a business applies for a BILL Divvy Card, we

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
5

utilize, on behalf of the Issuing Bank, proprietary risk management capabilities to confirm the identity of the business, and perform a credit underwriting process to determine if the business is eligible for a BILL Divvy Card pursuant to our credit policies. Once approved for a BILL Divvy Card, the spending business is provided a credit limit and can use the BILL Spend and Expense software to request virtual cards or physical cards.

Payment Services

Our suite of comprehensive payment services includes:

•ACH payments – We enable ACH transactions for both disbursements and collections. Our network makes it simple to make the switch from paper checks.

•Card payments – Through a third-party service provider, we offer businesses using our accounts receivable solutions the convenience of accepting credit and debit card payments. In addition, we enable virtual card payments to vendors of businesses using our accounts payable solutions. Virtual cards support faster payments to suppliers, which includes the data needed to easily match incoming payments with open receivables. Through card issuing partners, BILL provides both physical and virtual Mastercard and Visa cards to companies that enroll in its business spend and expense management program.

•Real-time payments (RTP) – Through The Clearing House’s RTP® network, a real-time payments platform, we offer an instant transfer service to allow businesses using our solutions to disburse funds rapidly to meet urgent funding needs. We also facilitate near real-time payments to customers’ debit cards via a service offered with a partner.

•Checks – We issue checks if our customer prefers or needs to pay via this method. By design, we protect our SMB customers against check fraud by never disclosing their bank account details to a supplier and by reviewing every check presented against a check issue file to help detect and prevent check fraud.

•Cross-border payments – We simplify cross-border disbursements by facilitating electronic funds transfers around the world with our International Payments service. Payments can be issued in either U.S. or foreign currency, and our platform synchronizes with customers’ accounting software for a consolidated view of domestic and international outflows. We offer our U.S.-based customers the ability to disburse funds to over 130 countries worldwide.

•Pay By Card – Our Pay By Card feature allows businesses using our solutions to make payments using a credit or debit card, even if the vendor or contractor does not accept card payments. We process the payment with the business' credit or debit card provider, then we pay the vendor or contractor using a method they accept.

•Invoice financing – Through a relationship with a third-party bank, we enable businesses easier access to cash by allowing them to finance outstanding invoices. For a small origination fee, businesses using our solutions can receive cash immediately instead of waiting for their invoices to be paid.

Value-Added Services

•Two-way sync with leading accounting systems – Our platform automatically synchronizes customers, suppliers, general ledger accounts, and transactions with an SMB’s accounting system to automate reconciliation. We are integrated with several of the most popular business accounting software applications, including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Xero, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Our two-way synchronization capabilities virtually eliminate double data-entry, as our platform and the customer’s accounting software continuously keep each other updated. Customers who use other types of systems use our advanced file import/export capabilities to minimize data entry activities.

•Purchase order (PO) matching – We sync POs directly from accounting software systems, including Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks Desktop into our platform. Users can compare POs and invoices on one screen, then route bills for approval and payment seamlessly in the same workflow. This eliminates the need to switch between systems for two-

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
6

way matching and reduces the back-and-forth communication between PO creators and accounts payable managers.

•Frequent status updates – We provide timely status updates of financial inflows and outflows by providing status updates of all transactions on a regular basis. Through our workflow progress bars on each page, businesses using our solutions can see who has approved an invoice and what approvals remain, the status of each payment, and the date transactions are expected to clear.

•Cash flow forecasting – We empower businesses to optimize their cash flow management with dashboards that showcase key metrics, including Cash In and Cash Out, Net Cash Flow and Cash Balance, and to generate cash flow forecasts for up to 13 months.

•Treasury services – Our platform integrates advanced treasury services tools that are normally either not offered to or are costly for SMBs. Examples include:

◦the positive pay feature we employ to ensure only authorized payment transactions are processed;

◦a streamlined void and reissue function when an in-process payment needs to be cancelled; and

◦the cleared check images we make available to enable businesses using our solutions to confirm payment receipt and facilitate research.

•Custom user roles – Our platform enables customers to define custom user roles. These roles can be used to expand or limit each user’s access to the platform and core financial operations functions. For example, a customer can temporarily enable its auditors or tax preparers to access our platform using a custom role that allows them to view source documents in support of the services they are providing, but not have access to other confidential documents or information.

•Document discovery – With our advanced document management capabilities, a customer can easily search for an uploaded document and search its data elements, regardless of how old it is, or how long it has been in our system. Businesses using our solutions utilize this feature when deciding whether to pay a given bill or re-issue an invoice, or in determining who authorized a certain payment.

•Integrated, robust mobile functionality – Our mobile-native apps, available in both iOS and Android, are easy to adopt and use. Through our apps, businesses using our solutions can manage their transaction workflows, send an invoice, make payments on-the-go, and manage spend.

•Supplier payments plus – A new offering that enables large suppliers to quickly and efficiently process and reconcile high volumes of payments from SMBs through our platform, providing a more seamless payment experience for the businesses they work with.

Partner Integrations

Accounting firms use our platform to provide financial automation, bill payment, and client advisory services, or “CAS,” to their clients. Our platform empowers accountants with a purpose-built console to collaborate with their staff and clients across multiple workflows enabling them to be more strategic and serve more clients.

We provide our financial institution partners a technology platform that enables various integrations, including a white-label integration with their existing business banking services. We deliver single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, integrated provisioning, and entitlement of new accounts, as well as integration with required compliance systems. Transactions are synchronized automatically between the financial institution’s platform and ours, keeping the customer’s view current and consistent.

In addition to our white-labeled solution, we support a broad range of partners and customers with our platform application programming interfaces (APIs). These APIs allow our partners to integrate our platform

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
7

seamlessly into their solutions, create web or mobile apps that integrate with ours, or leverage our payments capabilities. Through our APIs, developers can:

•make and receive payments;

•interact with business entities, like suppliers and clients;

•obtain summary-level reports, such as payables and receivables reports; and

•interact with accounting details, such as the general ledger codes of the chart of accounts.

We are also developing embedded technology that will enable us to deploy our platform offerings, including accounts payable, accounts receivable and spend and expense management, as a set of embeddable capabilities through third-party platforms, allowing partners to seamlessly offer these services to their customers while expanding the universe of businesses using our solutions.

Our Unique Data Asset

Our TPV, network size, and number of transactions processed for businesses using our solutions provide us with a unique data asset. This asset has allowed us to build powerful AI capabilities and is powering our development of AI agents for SMB payables, receivables, procurement, and cash management. The data provides a view into customer transactions and operational status of various payment processes, which enables us not only to effectively manage risk exposure but also to provide businesses using our solutions with enhanced tools, such as automatically populating drafts of bills, to save time and simplify their operations. Our system continues to learn with each payment made and document processed. This virtuous cycle of learning powers a network effect that facilitates customer satisfaction, offers intelligent insights, improves trust and safety, and fuels further growth.

Our Network

Through our AI-enabled platform, businesses using our solutions can easily connect with existing network members. The benefit of being in the network is simple: customers connect with others to pay and be paid electronically, freeing them from the need to solicit or share bank account and routing numbers with each trading partner individually. The process of adding bank account details to our platform is easy and secure. For example, when a supplier of an accounts payable customer receives an invitation to join our network, the supplier can accept and securely share its bank account details once with BILL. From that point onward, all payments to that supplier will be electronic.

Once in the network, other BILL customers can easily link to that same supplier without the supplier having to repeat this process again. This approach to connecting businesses has allowed us to build a robust and growing business-to-business payments directory, which includes approximately 8.3 million network members as of June 30, 2025, representing an increase in cumulative total network members of approximately 18% since June 30, 2024. We define network members as our BILL AP/AR customers plus their suppliers and clients, who have paid or received funds electronically via our platform. These network effects promote greater adoption of our platform, higher levels of engagement, and increased value across our ecosystem.

Payment and Risk Management Services

Our payments engine powers our payment services. Through dedicated connections with banks and payment processors, we issue checks, initiate card-based transactions, originate ACH-based payments, including real-time payments, through our instant transfer feature, and execute wire transfers. Our payments engine handles all aspects of the payment life cycle, including risk management, payment transfers, exception handling, and payment status reporting. We maintain redundancy across core payment methods to ensure that, in the event of an outage with one payment processor, payments can be routed through an alternative provider.

Our risk engine uses both proprietary and third-party tools to detect, identify, and mitigate financial risk associated with payment flows. All transactions are monitored for suspicious behavior and potential fraud, working closely with banking partners to address issues swiftly.

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
8

Our system monitors activity for anomalies, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and internal risk policies and thresholds. Agents and automated tools collaborate to investigate and resolve issues, safeguarding customer accounts and maintaining the integrity of financial operations. This approach enables rapid adaptation to emerging threats and regulatory changes.

Once a payment transaction is processed, we continue to manage our exposure including, in some cases, seeking to reverse payments when possible. If a suspicious or fraudulent payment cannot be reversed, we follow a rigorous collections process to recover funds.

As our risk management process grows more insightful, we efficiently handle larger payment volumes with AI-enabled risk engines. Protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure ongoing compliance and operational resilience, supporting secure and reliable payment processing for our customers. Our success in managing the risk inherent in moving funds for business customers is proven. As a percentage of our TPV, fraud and credit loss rates for our BILL AP/AR payment services were nominal, approximately 0.01% for fiscal 2025. As a percentage of total card payment volume transacted by spending businesses that use BILL Divvy Cards, fraud and credit loss rate was approximately 0.23% for fiscal 2025. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Business Metrics” for a detailed discussion of our key business metrics.

Security, Privacy, and Data Protection

Trust is important for our relationship with customers and partners, and we take significant measures designed to protect their privacy and the data that they provide to us. Keeping our customers’ data safe and secure is a high priority. Our approach to security includes data governance as well as ongoing testing for potential security issues.

We have robust access controls in our production environment with access to data strictly assigned, monitored, and audited. To ensure our controls remain up-to-date, we undergo continuous external testing for vulnerabilities within our software architecture. These efforts have enabled us to certify our platform to SOC1 Type II and SOC2 Type II standards. Our security program is aligned to the NIST-800-53 standards and is regularly audited and assessed by third parties as well as our partners, including some of the largest banks in the world.

The focus of our program is working to prevent unauthorized access to the data of our customers and network members. To this end, our team of security practitioners work to identify and mitigate risks, implement best practices, and continue to evaluate ways to improve.

These steps include close attention to network security, classifying and inventorying data, limiting and authorizing access controls, and multi-factor authentication for access to systems. We also employ regular system monitoring, logging, and alerting to retain and analyze the security state of our corporate and production infrastructures.

We take steps to help ensure that our security measures are maintained by the third-party suppliers we use, including conducting annual security reviews and audits.

Competition

Our primary competition remains the legacy manual processes that SMBs have relied upon for decades. Other competitors range from large firms that predominantly focus on selling to enterprises; to firms focusing on adjacent products for SMBs which enter one or more of our market segments and offer products that compete with ours; to providers of point solutions that focus on one of the many aspects of our business: document management, workflow management, accounts payable solutions, spend and expense management, card issuance, or accounts receivable solutions; to companies that offer industry-specific payment solutions; to companies that offer competing products to ours.

We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by offering a comprehensive portfolio of financial back-office solutions that handle all of these core cash flow, expense, and financing activities end-to-end. Our extensive investment in building a fully-integrated two-way sync with popular software providers is well-regarded

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
9

in the industry. With respect to the domestic payments that comprise a large portion of our business, we disburse and collect funds on behalf of our customers through our proprietary payments engine. We manage the associated financial risk of processing billions in total payment volume through our proprietary risk models and rules.

We believe that the key competitive factors in our market include:

•Product features, quality, and functionality;

•Data asset size and ability to leverage AI;

•Ease of deployment;

•Ability to integrate with leading accounting and banking technology infrastructures;

•Ability to automate processes;

•Cloud-based delivery architecture;

•Advanced security and control features;

•Regulatory compliance leadership, as evidenced by our money transmitter licenses in all required U.S. jurisdictions and in Canada;

•Brand recognition; and

•Pricing and total cost of ownership.

We believe we compare favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors. We expect the market for SMB back-office financial software and business-to-business payment solutions to continue to evolve and grow, as greater numbers of SMBs and larger businesses digitize their back offices. We believe that we are well-positioned to help them.

Research & Development

We invest substantial time, energy, and resources to ensure we have a deep understanding of our customers’ needs, and we continually innovate to deliver value-added products and services. Our technology organization consists of engineering, product, and design teams. These teams are responsible for the design, development, and testing of our applications. We focus our efforts on developing new functionality and further enhancing the usability, reliability, and performance of existing applications.

Sales and Marketing

We distribute our platform through direct and indirect sales channels, both of which we leverage to reach our target customers in an efficient manner. Our direct sales are driven by a self-service process and an inside sales team. Our inside sales team augments our direct sales capabilities by targeting potential customers that have engaged with us on their own.

We also reach customers indirectly through our partnerships with accounting firms, financial institutions, and software providers. While these partners sometimes require an initial integration investment, a go-to-market flywheel takes effect as our partners accelerate the delivery of our platform across their customer base with minimal incremental investment from us.

We focus our marketing efforts on generating leads to develop our sales pipeline, building brand and category awareness, enabling our go-to-market partners, and growing our business from within our existing customers. Our sales leads primarily come through word-of-mouth, our accounting firm partners, and website searches. We generate additional leads through digital marketing campaigns, referrals, in-product customer education, brand advertising, public relations, and social media.

As part of our marketing efforts for our spend and expense management solution, we offer a card rewards program to drive card adoption, incent card usage, and drive card loyalty with spending businesses. Under the card rewards program, spending businesses can earn rewards based on transaction volume on the cards issued to them and can redeem those rewards for statement credits, cash, travel, and gift cards.

Customer Success

SMBs have unique needs and customer support contact expectations. With more than a decade of experience supporting our product, our customer success team has a deep understanding of their needs and has developed our support model accordingly. We recognize and understand deep customer spending and behavior patterns because we see the aggregate – millions of transactions per month. We use what we learn to continuously improve the platform and the customer experience. We provide onboarding implementation support, as well as ongoing support and training. We periodically contact businesses using our solutions to discuss their utilization of our platform, highlight additional features that may interest them, and identify any additional tools that may be needed.

Regulatory Environment

We operate in a rapidly-evolving regulatory environment.

Payments and Banking Regulation

In order to conduct the payment services we offer, we are required to be licensed to offer money transmission services in most U.S. states. We have procured and continue to maintain money transmitter licenses from the states and territories that require them in the United States (U.S.) and actively work to comply with new license requirements as they arise. We are also registered as a Money Services Business with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). These licenses and registrations subject us, among other things, to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing requirements, the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions obligations, record-keeping requirements, reporting requirements, bonding requirements, minimum capital requirements, limitations on the investment of customer funds, and regulatory examinations by state and federal regulatory agencies.

We also hold a Foreign Money Services Business (FMSB) license in Canada that is administered by The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) and a Money Services Business License administered by Quebec's Autorité Des Marchés Financiers (Financial Markets Authority). Global Affairs Canada and Canada's Department of Public Safety administer Canadian sanctions programs and oversee our compliance with these regulations.

We are contractually obligated to comply with consumer protection laws and regulations applicable to our product offerings and customer base, as well as with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express rules, as a card program manager for our card product offerings. As a card program manager for the Issuing Banks, we have implemented robust programs designed to ensure we are in compliance with applicable regulations and card network rules. The Issuing Banks oversee our compliance program and conduct periodic reviews and third-party audits to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and rules.

We maintain loan origination, brokering, and servicing licenses through our subsidiaries in a number of U.S. states and actively work to comply with new license requirements as they arise.

Our services utilize ACH transfers and require compliance with National Automated Clearing House Association rules. We are required to comply with Regulation E, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which regulates certain funds transfers.

We are procuring additional state lending licenses to support certain lending products. We also partner with a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and state-regulated bank to offer lending products originated by such bank and may originate loans using our own licenses in the future. The lending products and services subject us to state and federal lending regulations including, but not limited to Fair Lending, state specific lending disclosures, and Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts and Practices and Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices requirements.

Anti-money Laundering, Counter-terrorist Financing, and Sanctions.

As a Money Services Business and a licensed money transmitter we are subject to U.S. anti-money laundering (AML) laws and regulations, including under the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended (BSA), and similar

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4
11

U.S. state laws and regulations, and as a Foreign Money Service Business (MSB) in Canada we are subject to various AML laws and regulations in Canada. In addition, we are required to comply with U.S. economic and trade sanctions administered by OFAC, as well as similar requirements in other jurisdictions, including, among others, the Canadian Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act and the Australian Sanctions Regime. We have implemented an AML and sanctions compliance program designed to prevent our platform from being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Where we rely on partners for payment services, our partners have implemented AML and sanctions compliance programs. These compliance programs include policies, procedures, reporting protocols, systems, training, testing, independent audits, and internal controls designed to address these legal and regulatory requirements and to assist in managing the risks associated with money laundering. Our U.S. compliance program includes the designation of a BSA compliance officer to oversee the program. These programs are also designed to mitigate terrorist financing risks and to comply with sanctions requirements to prevent our products from being used to facilitate business in certain countries, or with certain persons or entities, including those on designated lists promulgated by OFAC and relevant foreign authorities.

Data Protection and Information Security

We receive, store, process, and use a wide variety of personal, business, and financial information from prospective customers, existing customers, their vendors, and other users on our platform, as well as personal information about our employees and service providers. Our handling of this data is subject to a variety of laws and regulations. In the U.S. we are subject to privacy and information safeguarding requirements under the Graham Leach Bliley Act and state laws relating to privacy and data security, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the online collection, use, dissemination, and security of data. We are also subject to foreign laws and regulations governing the handling of personal data, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, the United Kingdom's equivalent law (collectively referred to as "GDPR"), Australian and Canadian privacy laws, and the privacy laws of other foreign jurisdictions.

Regulatory scrutiny of privacy, data protection, cybersecurity practices, and the processing of personal data is increasing around the world. Regulatory authorities regularly consider new legislative and regulatory proposals and interpretive guidelines that may contain privacy and data protection obligations. In addition, the interpretation and application of these privacy and data protection laws in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere are often uncertain and in a state of flux.

Anti-corruption

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.S. domestic bribery laws, and other anti-corruption laws in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, including, among others, Australia's anti-bribery laws, the Canadian Criminal Code, and the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act. Anti-corruption laws generally prohibit offering, promising, giving, accepting, or authorizing others to provide anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to or from a government official or private party in order to influence official action or otherwise gain an unfair business advantage, such as to obtain or retain business. We have implemented policies, procedures, and internal controls that are designed to comply with these laws and regulations.

Additional Regulatory Developments

Various regulatory agencies in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions continue to examine a wide variety of issues which are applicable to us and may impact our business. These issues include identity theft, account management guidelines, privacy, disclosure rules, cybersecurity, and marketing. As our business continues to develop and expand, we continue to monitor the additional rules and regulations that may become relevant.

Any actual or perceived failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registrations, loss of approved status, private litigation, regulatory or governmental investigations, administrative enforcement actions, sanctions, civil and criminal liability, and constraints on our ability to continue to operate. For additional discussion on governmental regulation affecting our business, please see the risk factors related to regulation of our payments business and

Culture, Inclusion and Sustainability

We are committed to helping build a more sustainable future for businesses using our solutions, as well as for their communities, and stakeholders. We take this commitment seriously and provide transparent disclosures on the progress of this work through both our internal and external communications. Guided by best practices, feedback we receive from our stockholders, and third-party frameworks such as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Software & IT Services standards, we are focused on the initiatives described below, among others.

Our Culture and Employees

Our culture enables us to attract and retain exceptional talent. We center our culture around five values which are core to who we are, guide how we operate, define how we treat each other, and help make our teams strong, cohesive units:

•Humble – No ego;

•Authentic – We are who we are;

•Passionate – Love what we do;

•Accountable – To each other and our network; and

•Fun – Celebrate the moments.

As of June 30, 2025, we had a total of 2,364 employees working in two offices in the U.S.: San Jose, CA, and Draper, UT; and others working remotely. We also employ individuals on a temporary basis and use the services of contractors as necessary. None of our employees are represented by a labor union in connection with their employment.

We know our success is tied to recruiting, developing, and retaining our employees. Our Chief People Officer is responsible for creating and implementing our initiatives around our employees and our board of directors has ultimate oversight and receives updates on these initiatives periodically.

To support hiring the best talent for BILL, we have a rigorous interview process with training for hiring managers and interviewers, interview guides tailored specifically for different roles, and impartial talent champions whose role is to uphold BILL’s high hiring standards in our candidate debriefs. We leverage data and analytics to align the recruiting function to business growth and revenue drivers. We also partner with organizations like Codepath.org and ColorStack to support students interested in technical careers. In addition, we have an Ambassador Program that gives candidates an opportunity to connect with current employees to learn more about BILL’s culture before deciding to join BILL.

We are committed to providing a fair and equitable compensation and benefits program that supports our diverse workforce. BILL offers market-competitive base salaries, semi-annual bonuses, and sales incentives. Many of our employees are awarded equity at the time of hire and through annual equity grants. We also offer an employee stock purchase plan to foster a strong sense of ownership and engage our employees in our long-term success. Our full-time employees are eligible to receive, subject to the satisfaction of certain eligibility requirements, our comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, family planning support and fertility treatments, and life and income protection plans. In addition, we provide generous paid time-off policies, access to free mental health services, and offer a tax-qualified 401(k) retirement plan. Through the self-directed brokerage features of the plan, participants in the 401(k) plan can choose to invest their contributions in funds that are focused on their particular goals and preferences.

We develop our leaders and high-potential employees through intensive, cohort-based, key talent programs. We offer training for new people managers. To facilitate ongoing learning and development, we provide employees with an online curriculum of study, linked to business needs, leveraging a third-party platform and including special trainings on areas of particular interest. For example, in summer 2025, we launched a “summer of AI,” offering educational and practical trainings encouraging employees to learn about

and utilize internal AI tools. Available online education includes coursework in inclusive leadership, change management, and decision-making. We also host a quarterly Leadership Speaker Series, where we invite internal and external subject matter experts from a diverse range of backgrounds to speak to topics in which our employees have expressed interest. All employees are eligible and participate in developmental reviews with their managers. We conduct performance review cycles twice a year.

To keep a pulse on engagement, we survey our employees semi-annually. Employees respond anonymously, and we take action on the areas flagged for improvement, reporting back to the employee base on progress against stated improvement goals. We closely monitor employee turnover, conducting exit interviews and surveys to alert us to any issues, as well as to make improvements to the employee experience.

Through an equitable approach to hiring, compensation, and career growth, we have built a company that fosters inclusivity, authenticity, and action. We seek to embed a sense of inclusion and community into our culture and how we serve the businesses using our solutions.

One of the ways we strengthen our workplace culture of inclusion is by supporting employee resource groups (ERGs). ERGs are self-organized communities that bring employees together to raise awareness and belonging for under-represented groups. Through a grassroots effort, BILL employees have established eight ERGs focused on different affinities: women, Latinx, Black, LGBTQIA+, disabilities and mental health, veterans, Pan Asian and Pacific Islanders, and community giving. These ERGs are open to everyone and support the career development of their members through customer chats, skill-building workshops, and community engagement.

As part of our focus on community outreach, we partner with a local high school in San Jose, California, to expose underprivileged, low-income students to technology-focused careers. The program’s goal is to prepare these young adults for academic success, college acceptance, and early career growth by offering work study opportunities, internships, and mentoring. BILL also partnered with the African Diaspora Network to launch their Accelerating Business Leadership and Entrepreneurship (ABLE) program, an enterprise accelerator program, now in its fifth year. The program is designed to support impact-oriented businesses in the United States which are addressing essential community needs and driving innovative solutions, and is committed to providing entrepreneurs from historically disadvantaged communities and connections to Africa with access to capital and investor-ready training by connecting participants with industry leaders. Last year, ABLE graduated 16 entrepreneurs with impact-oriented solutions at the local and national levels across multiple sectors. We are hopeful that through programs and partnerships like these, we can help local communities, promote awareness of our business and company, and identify potential candidates for future recruitment.

Environmental Matters

Our San Jose headquarters building is LEED Gold and Energy Star certified. In San Jose, California and Draper, Utah, we also offer employees free electric vehicle charging stations. Further, we embrace a hybrid work model at each of our office locations, supporting employees to work remotely two days a week, in addition to having a significant number of fully-remote employees who collaborate via videoconference and periodic offsite retreats. This flexible model allows us to minimize employee commute times, thereby reducing congestion, the consumption of energy, and pollution.

Intellectual Property

We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by relying upon a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as contractual measures.

As of June 30, 2025, in the U.S., we had 26 issued patents that expire between 2028 and 2042, and 9 pending patent applications. These patents and patent applications seek to protect proprietary inventions relevant to our business. While we believe our patents and patent applications in the aggregate are important to our competitive position, no single patent or patent application is material to us as a whole. We intend to pursue additional patent protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective.

As of June 30, 2025, in the U.S. we had 12 trademark registrations and one pending application covering our company logos and related designs. We also hold two registrations in Canada and one pending application, as well as various pending registrations and applications in other countries. We will pursue

additional trademark registrations to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. We also own several domain names, including www.bill.com.

We rely on trade secrets and confidential information to develop and maintain our competitive position. It is our practice to enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements (or similar agreements) with our employees, consultants, and contractors involved in the development of intellectual property on our behalf. We also enter into confidentiality agreements with other third parties in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our confidential information and proprietary information. We further control the use of our proprietary technology and intellectual property through provisions in our terms of service.

From time to time, we also incorporate certain intellectual property licensed from third parties, including under certain open source licenses. Even if any such third-party technology was not available to us on commercially reasonable terms, we believe that alternative technologies would be available as needed.
