Notably, Divvy was valued at around $1.6bn after it secured $165m in a funding round in January.
Divvy helps businesses to modernise finance operations by combining expense management software and smart corporate cards into a single platform. It is headquartered in Draper, Utah.
The acquisition will expand market opportunity for both companies.
Bill.com will be able to offer expense management and budgeting software along with smart corporate cards to its customer base and member network. Divvy can provide automated payable, receivables and workflow capabilities to the more-than 7,500 monthly active SMBs.
