How do I even begin with Bill Payer?
You need to choose the account you have Bill Payer set to and add payees. This sets up all those you wish to pay bills to. You can also edit payees that you have already set up. You can then choose all the different options it allows. You must fill in all red starred fields or you won’t be able to move forward to the next step.
How are bills paid?
You can pay bills either by electronic bill payment or by check.
What is Electronic Bill Pay?
We encourage the use of electronic bill payment. Electronic payments provide improved payment efficiency and eliminate the need for a paper check to be generated. Electronic Bill Pay is handled through MasterCard RPPS®. You also have the added security and comfort knowing that your payment will be paid on time. It is easy to use. When you schedule a payment to be made or add a bill payee, you will see a small blue box that will ask “Can this bill be paid electronically?” Once you click on the box, it will search for the payee to determine if it is in the system (note – you may need to modify your search depending on the payee description). Once it finds the payee, just follow the simple steps to add the merchant. Once you have added the payee, those payees will be marked with the E-Pay symbol.

If I choose to pay by check, how do I know the difference between checks I write and Bill Payer checks?
Bill Payer checks are 7 numbers long and start with a "9". The first number "9" means Bill Payer. The next 3 numbers represent the payee number. The last 3 numbers are the actual day of the year the check was sent.
How do I know if the Bill Payer check has been sent?
You can go to the history of the Bill Payer Checking Account and see where it says that the check has been sent. This just shows that it has been sent and will not affect the balance of your account until the check clears your account..
How do I know if the Bill Payer check has cleared my account?
You can go to the history of the Bill Payer Checking Account and see where it says that the check number has cleared your account. It will clear just as any other check you physically write. When it clears your account, is when it affects your balance.
