Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic network for financial transactions in the United States. ACH processes large volumes of credit and debit transactions in batches. Think of it as the engine behind direct deposits and direct payments.
Check payments are debited with the payee deposits the check and the check clears. Funds are not debited from your account when the check is sent to the payee.
Electronic payments are debited via ACH.
No. Bill Pay only allows you to select valid Send Dates when you schedule payments.
Tax payments (such as federal income tax), payments to government entities and court-directed payments (such as alimony and child support) should not be processed through Bill Pay. We cannot research these types of payments or take any action to assist with payments to government or court agencies. In the event of an issue, the member would have no recourse or support, so we strongly discourage using Bill Pay in these cases.
Payments to anyone in the United States and its territories can be made through Bill Pay. You can pay practically anyone- charge accounts, utilities, auto loans, professionals, even a lawn service, friend, or relative.
The send money option sends funds to friends and family easily and securely. Neither you nor your recipient has to pay a fee. To send money, all you need is the recipient’s name and either their email address or their mobile number. If you send the money before 3:00pm, the recipient will receive the funds the next business day.
- From the Bill Pay dashboard, select the send money option. Select add.
- Enter the recipient’s name, and their email or mobile number, and select save.
- From the send money drop down select the person you want to pay. Enter the amount, then a security question the recipient will know. Be sure to share the answer with the recipient.
- Accept the terms and conditions, change the date and frequency, if necessary, then add a message to the recipient if you choose.
- Select send, and you're done.
Yes. The Groups feature helps you organize your payments. Use Groups to batch similar payees or create a list of first half and second-half-of the-month payees to help with budget planning. Your Groups will be available in Quick Pay so setting up a payment will be even faster when you group your payment types.
- From the Dashboard, select Groups.
- Select ADD, then enter a Group name like Home Maintenance Payees.
- Select the payees for this Group from the drop-down list. Scroll down to the bottom of the list and select Save.
Groups can be deleted as well. Just scroll to the bottom of the Group you wish to delete and select the delete button. The payees remain in your payee list, but the Group will be removed.

Yes. You can schedule weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly recurring payments or choose another frequency.
Once your payees have been added, you can start paying bills. It’s simple and easy.

- Type in the payment amount and send date, select the account the funds should be paid from. Select the frequency. Make a one-time payment, weekly, monthly or choose another frequency. Select the duration for recurring payments. Repeat the payment until you cancel it or set a specific number of payments to be made.
- You may add a note for future reference, and if you prefer, you can even choose to receive an alert when the payment is delivered or select 'Alert Me' with the number of days prior to the send date.
- Now scroll down to the bottom of the list and select Continue.
- Review the bill and make any necessary changes. Then select 'Pay'.
You’ll find a symbol beside each payee indicating how the payment will be delivered. A lightning bolt means the payee accepts electronic payments. The funds will be debited from your account on the Send Date if scheduled by 3:00 pm our time. An envelope symbol beside the payee’s name indicates this payment will be made by check. The process for setting up a check payment is the same as an electronic payment. If you’d like, you can add a memo to the check.
Check payments are mailed on the Send Date, so it may take up to five business days for the payee to receive your payment. Keep that in mind and set up check payments at least 5 days before the due date. Also, the funds will not be debited on the Send Date. A paper check will be mailed to the recipient, so the funds will remain in your account until the recipient deposits or cashes it.
Payees who are not listed will receive your payments by check instead of electronically. From the Bill Pay dashboard, select Pay Bills, then select Add Payee. Type the payee's name and a valid mailing address where your payment should be mailed. Enter the rest of the information. You may also add a memo that will be included on the check. Remember, check payments are mailed on the Send Date and you should allow five business days for the check to reach your payee. It’s important to set up the payment far enough in advance so your payment isn’t late. Monitor your account to learn when the check has cleared. You can also view the cleared check on your monthly statements in Digital Banking.
Nope, the system is free!
You can add payees in a few easy steps. From the Bill Pay dashboard, select Pay Bills, then select Add Payee. Type the payee's name. If the payee is already in our database, it will show in the list. Select the payee and select continue. Add account details by entering the account number found on your bill or statement, confirm the account number, and the payee's zip code. A confirmation screen will appear with the payee name and last four digits of the account number along with the payee's address.
Remember to review your payee’s information for accuracy. Select ok and you're done. New payees will be added to the payee list in real time.
