Case Study: Mongabay (nonprofit) cuts international wire fees by 50% and saves 15 hours/month with Bill.com

Mongabay Significant Time and Cost Savings through International Payments Solution

Mongabay is a U.S.-based nonprofit news platform covering conservation and environmental science, with a global contributor network and over 30 countries paid through multiple systems. As the organization grew, its accounts payable became fragmented—managed across three platforms and several banks—creating time-consuming workflows, manual data entry, approval bottlenecks and high international wire fees.

Mongabay implemented Bill.com to centralize onboarding, approvals, document storage and disbursements, integrating it with Sage Intacct and Expensify and enabling mobile approvals and auditor access. The change cut international wire and transaction costs by about 50% and reclaimed roughly 15 hours per month through automation and streamlined vendor management, allowing the finance team to focus on higher-value work.
