Types of Bills
We recommend that you use our Bill Payer program for your repetitive
bills. For sporatic or one-time payments, it is much faster to write a share draft. You will need
to input your vendors one at a time in our system. We highly recommend that you have all
parts of your bill in front of you as you fill out the payment request information. You'll
be asked to fill in the following information:
Your new bill input will be placed in a "pending" status until your merchants have been contacted and the account information verified. Plus the merchants are notified to expect payment via our Bill Payer program. Some merchants will accept your bill payer payment via ACH. If so, your payment will be sent electronically and will arrive at the merchant within three business days.
It may be better if you pay this month's bill with your draft and start using Bill Payer with next month's billing. That way, should you be running close to the late charge date, you won't cross it while waiting for the approvals, etc.
You should check the status of your Bill Payer account often to know if your bill can be or was paid via Bill Payer. Also, check the address the bill is going to from time to time. Companies do change payment addresses and you may not become aware of this until you receive an email stating that your payment was returned due to an incorrect address. A return could result in your payment being received after the due date. Please pay your bills early to help prevent late charges from being assessed.
