How It Works
You may sign up for Bill Payment during or at any time after the account application process. You will need to set up your list of payees the first time you utilize the system. The next step is to set the payment date. You should set the date so the payment has time to process and get to the merchant on time. The time needed will vary by merchant and the payment type. Electronic payments require two business days and paper payments require five business days. The system will tell you if the payee is electronic or paper. Please note that payment days are business days. If the payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday, the payment date will be moved to the next business day. Once the payments have been submitted, your account will be debited on the payment date you specified. Please remember to have sufficient funds in your account to cover the payments. If funds are not available, the payment will not be made.
