 Exhibit 10.1 

BOTTOMLINE TECHNOLOGIES (de), INC. 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Agreement is made between Bottomline Technologies (de), Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Richard Booth (the
“Employee”). 
 In consideration of the Company’s employment of the Employee on the terms set forth herein, the Company and
the Employee agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Terms of Employment. 

  

	 	(a)	The Company will employ the Employee in the position of Senior Advisor, Finance, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. The position will be based out of the Company’s Portsmouth, NH office (although the
Employee will not be required to be located there) and will commence on April 6, 2015. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company will pay the employee at an annual rate of $280,000, payable per semi-monthly period at $11,666.67. Pay dates are the 15th and last day of each month. The
Employee shall be eligible to receive salary increases. Any such increases shall be at the discretion of Company management. The Employee will be paid a signing bonus of $20,000. The signing bonus will be paid in the Employee’s first processed
payroll check. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company will grant to the Employee 80,000 shares of EPAY restricted stock representing a one-time grant which is the equivalent of 20,000 shares over each of the next four years. These restricted shares will vest
over the next four years (25% after one year and quarterly thereafter). The Employee will be eligible for additional grants of restricted stock. 

  

	 	(d)	The Employee will be eligible to receive an annual bonus of $160,000. The payout of any bonus is based on Company performance and the Employee’s individual contribution. Such bonuses shall be paid quarterly and it
is understood that all bonuses are subject to the Company achieving its financial goals for the quarter and at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, subject to approval by the Leadership Development & Compensation Committee.

  

	 	2.	Accelerated Vesting. 

 Any restricted stock or other equity granted to
you by the Company including the shares described herein and any restricted stock or other equity granted to Employee in the future will automatically vest following a “Change of Control” as defined herein if the Employee’s employment
by the Company is terminated within 12 months of that Change of Control. The Employee will be permitted to participate in any such transaction with respect to all of the 

 
restricted shares or other equity on the same terms as the holders of unrestricted shares. This automatic vesting shall be in addition to any automatic vesting provided for under any plan or
other document pursuant to which the restricted stock or other equity is issued. The Employee’s rights under this Agreement and with respect to the restricted stock or other equity will survive any change of control or other transaction
involving the Company. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means an event or occurrence set forth in any one or
more of subsections (a) through (c) below: 
  

	 	(a)	any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of stock of the Company) is or becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

  

	 	(b)	the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company
or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove
defined) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or 

  

	 	(c)	the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

  

	 	3.	Termination of Employment. 

 In the event that your employment is
terminated by the Company for any reason other than “Cause” or by you with “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined below), upon the effective date of that termination (the “Termination Date”), and subject to your
execution and delivery to the Company of a release of all claims related to your employment with the Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, you will be entitled to the following benefits: 

 

	 	(a)	 Any restricted stock or other equity granted to you by the Company, including the restricted stock described herein and any restricted stock or other
equity granted to you 

	 	
in the future, that otherwise would have vested during the twelve (12) months following the Termination Date will automatically vest; except that, in the event such termination
by the Company other than for “Cause” or termination by you for “Good Reason” occurs within the first twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, all restricted stock and other equity granted to you at any time during your
employment with the Company will automatically vest as set forth in Section 2 above; and 

  

	 	(b)	The Company will pay you in a lump sum within ten (10) days after the Termination Date an aggregated sum of (A) any unpaid base salary through the Termination Date; (B) an amount equal to twelve
(12) months of your base salary in effect as of the Termination Date; (C) and an amount equal to your annual target bonus then in effect. 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” will be deemed to have occurred upon: 

 

	 	(a)	the Employee’s material breach of this Agreement, any other agreement with the Company or the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; 

 

	 	(b)	the Employee’s willful and persistent refusal to abide by or comply with the reasonable directives of the Chief Executive Officer, or the Employee’s willful, persistent and material malfeasance, nonperformance
or negligence in the performance of his duties; 

  

	 	(c)	willful or intentional dishonesty or fraud by the Employee with respect to the business or affairs of the Company; 

  

	 	(d)	the Employee’s conviction of, or a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; or 

  

	 	(e)	the Employee’s commission of any act in direct or indirect competition with, or materially detrimental to, the best interests of Company or any breach of the Employee’s fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and
good faith to Company. 

 “Good Reason” will be deemed to have occurred upon: 

 

	 	(a)	the continued assignment to the Employee of any duties or the continued significant change to the Employee’s duties, either of which is substantially inconsistent with the Employee’s duties immediately prior
to such assignment or after notice thereof from the Employee to the Chief Executive Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the respects in which the Employee believes such assignment or duties are significantly inconsistent with the
Employee’s prior duties; 

  

	 	(b)	a change in reporting relationships or duties that results in the Employee no longer (i) reporting to the corporate Chief Executive Officer and/or (ii) having the Company’s worldwide finance organization
report to him; 

  

	 	(c)	a reduction in the Employee’s then-current base compensation, other than in connection with a Company-wide reduction in salaries; 

 

	 	(d)	the imposition of a requirement by the Company, any person in control of the Company or any successor to the Company, that the location at which the Employee performs his principal duties for the Company or any
successor to the Company be changed to a new location outside a radius of 50 miles from the then-current location; or 

	 	(e)	any breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement that remains uncured for thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from the Employee to the Chief Executive Officer; 

provided that none of the foregoing shall constitute Good Reason to the extent the Employee has agreed in writing thereto. 

The right of the Employee to terminate his at will employment as a result of Good Reason shall not be affected by the Employee’s
disability, or the fact that the Employee at such time may have an offer of employment from another employer or any other reason for terminating his employment with the Company. 

 

	 	4.	Participation in Company Benefit Plans. 

 After meeting any applicable
eligibility requirements and waiting periods, the Employee will be entitled to participate in the standard package of Company benefits available from time to time to the Company’s full-time employees. In addition, the Employee will receive four
(4) weeks of vacation per calendar year on an accrual basis. 
  

	 	5.	Proprietary Information. 

  

	 	(a)	The Employee agrees that all information, whether or not in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business, business relationships or financial affairs (collectively,
“Proprietary Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include inventions, products, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions,
compounds, projects, developments, plans, research date, clinical data, financial data, personnel data, computer programs, customer and supplier lists, and contacts at or knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the Company. The Employee
will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than employees of the Company (except to the extent necessary to satisfactorily perform the services required under this Agreement) or use the same for any purposes (other
than in the performance of his/her duties as an employee of the Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company, unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Employee.

  

	 	(b)	 The Employee agrees that all files, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, laboratory notebooks, program listings, or other
written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Employee or others, which shall come into his/her custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used
by the Employee only in the performance of his/her duties for the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Employee shall be delivered to the Company,

	 	
upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii) discontinuation of his/her contract. After such delivery, the Employee shall not retain any such materials or copies thereof or
any such tangible property. 

  

	 	(c)	The Employee agrees that his/her obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and his/her obligation to return materials and tangible
property, set forth in paragraph (b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of the customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the
same to the Company or to the Employee. 

  

	 	6.	Developments. 

  

	 	(a)	The Employee will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software, and works of authorship, whether patentable or not, which are created,
made, conceived or reduced to practice by him/her or under his/her direction or jointly with others during his/her contracted service by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (all which are
collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”). 

  

	 	(b)	The Employee agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his/her right, title and interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent
applications, copyrights and copyright applications. However, this paragraph 2(b) shall not apply to Developments which do not relate to the present or planned business or research and development of the Company and which are made and conceived by
the Employee not during normal working hours, not on the Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information. The Employee understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employment agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this paragraph 2(b) shall be interpreted not to apply to any invention which a court rules
and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. The Employee also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Developments. 

  

	 	(c)	 The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after his/her contracted service with the Company, with respect to the
procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Developments. The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without limitation,
copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the Employee on any such
papers, any executive officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of the Employee, and the 

	 	
Employee hereby irrevocable designates and appoints each executive officer of the Company as her/her agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his/her behalf, and to take any and
all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interest in any Development, under the conditions described in this sentence. 

 

	 	7.	Other Agreements. 

 The Employee hereby represents that, except as the
Employee has disclosed in writing to the Company, the Employee is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in
the course of his/her contracted service with the Company or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. The Employee further represents that his/her performance of all the terms
of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by the Employee in confidence or in trust prior to his/her contracted service
with the Company, and the Employee will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others. 

 

	 	8.	United States Government Obligations. 

 The Employee acknowledges that
the Company from time to time may have agreements with the other persons or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Employee
agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions which are made known to the Employee and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements. 

 

	 	9.	Non-competition. 

  

	 	(a)	While the Employee is employed by the Company and for a period of one year after the termination or cessation of such service for any reason, the Employee will not directly or indirectly: 

 

	 	(i)	as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, director, joint venture, investor, lender, consultant, or in any other capacity whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than one percent of
the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of a publicly held company), develop, design, produce, market, sell or render (or assist any other person in developing, designing, producing, marketing, selling or rendering) products or services
competitive with those developed, designed, produced, marketed, sold or rendered by the Company while the Employee was contracted by the Company; or 

	 	(ii)	solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or to take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or accounts, or prospective clients, customers or accounts, of the Company which were
contacted, solicited or served by the Employee while contracted by the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Employee violates the provisions of Section 9(a), the Employee shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section 9(a) until a period of one year has expired without any violation of
such provisions. 

  

	 	10.	Non-solicitation. 

  

	 	(a)	While the Employee is employed by the Company and for a period of two years after the termination of cessation of such employment for any reason, the Employee will not directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or hire any
employee of the Company, or induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to terminate his/her employment with, or otherwise cease his/her relationship with, the Company. 

 

	 	(b)	If the Employee violates the provisions of Section 10(a), the Employee shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section 10(a) until a period of two years has expired without any violation of
such provisions. 

  

	 	11.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	(a)	The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(b)	This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Employee and the Company relating to the subject matter of this Agreement; except for the Offer Letter between you and the
Company dated February 26, 2015, which Offer Letter remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (unless such terms conflict with the terms in this Agreement, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall control). This
Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged in whole or in part, except by any agreement in writing signed by the Employee and the Company. The Employee agrees that any change or changes in his/her duties, salary or compensation after the
signing of this Agreement shall not affect he validity or scope of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	This Agreement will be binding upon the Employee’s heirs, executors and administrators and will inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. 

 

	 	(d)	No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion is effective only in
that instance and will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion. 

	 	(e)	The Employee expressly consents to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to whose contract the Employee may be transferred without the
necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such transfer. 

  

	 	(f)	The restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose. The Employee agrees that
any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of any such breach, the Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, shall be
entitled to seek specific performance and other injunctive relief. 

  

	 	(g)	This Agreement is governed by and will be construed as a sealed instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire. Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve
any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the State of New Hampshire (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within New Hampshire), and the Company and the Employee each
consents to the jurisdiction of such a court. 

 THE EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE/SHE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND
UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT.
