Paying bills
online can bring
harmony to your finances. It is convenient, fast and secure. And once your finances are tuned up, just a few clicks will keep everything humming right along. Check out the tabs above to learn more about online bill payments and the prizes you could win!
Here are even more smart reasons to pay your bills online.
You set the payment amount and date:
When you use auto debit or ACH payments, those payments are taken directly from your account every month whether you’re ready for them or not. When you pay bills online you have more flexibility. You’re always in complete control over how much you want to pay and when.
You can pay all of your bills from one place:
Tired of remembering passwords from multiple sites to pay your bills? When you pay bills online, there’s just one place to log in to pay everyone. From one simple site, you can pay your utilities, loans and even your friends or family members.
You can change or cancel a payment as needed:
Other online payment options can be really inflexible. But when you pay bills online, you can modify a payment anytime before it is processed. This means you’re always in complete control of your money.
You safeguard your credit score:
Late fees can adversely affect your credit score. Avoid them by setting up email reminders that alert you when bills are due. Schedule automatic payments for all your recurring bills – everything from car loans to home mortgages.
You can help protect your identity:
Almost 85% of identity theft cases are due to lost or stolen checkbooks, payments, bills and paper statements.¹ When you pay bills online, your payment information is protected by the same standards that secure your online account – so you know it’s safe.

Frequently asked questions
What is the benefit of paying bills at my financial institution's website, as opposed to one of my biller's websites?
You can pay all your bills in one place, so you only have to remember one username and password. Plus, you can better manage and control your finances by viewing your balance and paying your bills from the same website. You can see in one place where all your money is going.
How long does it take to set up a payee online at my financial institution's website?
It only takes minutes to log in and set up a new payee. And, best of all, you only have to enter payee information once. Once a payee is set up, it is fast and easy to make future payments online in just a few clicks.
Is it more secure to pay bills through my financial institution's website or through each loan or utility provider's website?
It typically is more secure to pay your bills within your online banking account. When submitting a payment online directly to a biller, you often are required to provide your financial account information to authorize a debit from your account – the more institutions who have your financial account information, the more at risk you are of corporate security breeches.
What if the funds are not available in my account when I set up a payment online?
You can log in to your online banking account to easily transfer funds from your savings to your checking account to cover payments. Or, you have the flexibility to schedule the payment so it posts when you know the funds will be available in your checking account.
How does paying bills online help protect the environment?
By switching from paper to electronic billing, statements and payments, the average American household would save 6.6 pounds of paper in just one year. Plus, if 20% of U.S. households switched to electronic bills, statements and payments, more than 1.8 million trees would be saved each year.(1)
