1. Spend less time on admin
Biz Invoice is an online tool that lets you generate, send and manage invoices on the go, and send automatic payment reminders – all of which could save you time. It is complimentary with Business One Low and High Plan accounts and most Foreign Currency Accounts - and is accessed through Westpac Online Banking on PC and mobile.1
