Bill payments set up within BillPay will be paid according to how the biller will accept payments. Some vendors accept payments electronically, enabling us to pay them within one or two days.  Others do not accept electronic payments so a check must be mailed to them.  Depending on the location of where the check is being mailed, it may take three to five days for it to be received.
 
One of the following will occur:

  • The payment amount is debited from your account and sent electronically to the biller.
  • The payment amount is debited from your account, converted to a check, and then mailed to the biller.
  • A check is created for the payment amount and mailed to the biller. Once the biller receives and deposits the check, the amount is debited from your account.

Yes, you can. Simply contact our Customer Care Center and one of our personal bankers will be happy to make the change. You can contact them by calling (800) 277-2175 Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM and Saturday from 8 AM to 3 PM.

An eBill (electronic bill) is an electronic version of a paper bill that you can view and pay online. Receiving eBills enables you to access your bills anytime through Online Banking, reduces paper clutter and gives you enhanced security by reducing the amount of personal information traveling through unsecure mailboxes. You will receive an email reminder when a bill is due but will only see the eBill reminder icon in Online Banking and not in the Mobile App.

Once you are logged in to Online Banking and have clicked on BillPay, you will see your list of payees. For those that offer eBills, you will see an icon beside each name. Click on the icon and follow the steps to start receiving eBills.
