Pursuant to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Bottomline Technologies (de), Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of the above-referenced

As requested in a letter dated March 4, 2005 from Barbara Jacobs of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”), the Registrant hereby acknowledges that:
(i)
should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
with respect to the Registration Statement;
(ii)
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full
responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and
(iii)
the Registrant may not assert the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective as a defense in
any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 603-436-0700 or Jessica Semerjian of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP at
