The first step is to add a payee, the person or company you wish to pay. Here’s how easy it is:
Once you add your payee, you can start making payments in seconds.
Payments are sent one of two ways—electronically or by paper checks. The majority of payments are delivered electronically. Your payment information, such as your account number, is sent via secure transmission. All other payments are made by paper check mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.
Paying bills online is one of the safest ways to pay your bills. Bill Pay helps guard against identity theft from lost or stolen checkbooks, bills and statements. It also increases your privacy because only you can access your account information, account numbers and payment history. As a result, you maintain tighter control of your account with real-time access to your payments activity.
Generally, your payment is received within 2 to 7 days, depending on whether it’s sent electronically or via paper check.
Most scheduled payments are sent electronically and funds are withdrawn from your account on the payment date.
eBill is a feature that allows you to receive and pay electronic versions of paper bills directly from your Bill Pay account.
eBills are delivered directly to your Bill Pay account. Once you set up an individual eBill for a company you do business with, an eBill comes directly from that payee to your account. Examples of businesses that offer eBills are cable service providers, phone service providers, utility providers and credit card companies.
You may continue to receive paper statements for the next 2 or 3 billing cycles. Contact your payee for more details on their paper statement policy.
If a payee offers eBill, there will be a “Setup eBill” link next to their listing on your Bill Pay dashboard. If you are receiving eBill summaries from your payee and full bill statements become available, you will see a button that reads “Setup eBill.”
With eBill, everything you need is in one convenient location. Using eBill allows you to streamline your bill pay routine and have online access to your bills. That means you won’t have to keep track of paper bills. In addition, you can view past bill statements at a glance.
If available for your payee, your full bill statement will be delivered to your account. That means you can view all statement information, including transactions, payment history, credits and more.
If full eBill details are not available for your payee, you will receive a summary eBill statement that includes balance due, due date and minimum payment amount.
To pay an eBill, simply choose the account you want to pay from, enter the amount you want to pay and schedule when you want the payment delivered.
You can sign up to receive an electronic notice to alert you when an eBill has been delivered to your account. You can receive these notices in the form of emails or text alerts to provide an extra reminder when a payment is due.
