How do I know a payee is inactive?
On the Make Payments page you can sort by all payees or active payees only. If the payee is inactive it will not appear in the active payees list.
How are payments issued?
Only you can authorize payments. You tell us who, when, and how much to pay. Payments are issued electronically or via paper checks, depending on the payee's capabilities. Both electronic payments and paper checks always include remittance information, ensuring that your payee can accurately record that a payment has been received for your account.
When will an authorized payment be debited from my account?
While the exact time of the debit may vary due to when the payment is scheduled, please make sure that you have adequate funds in your account to cover those payments. This will ensure that your payment is processed properly and not subject to insufficient fund fees.
What is a filed bill?
A bill that you do not want to pay using this website, but want to save for your records. For example, a bill with a zero balance or a bill that no longer needs to be paid. Filed bills can be viewed in your bill history.
How do I cancel a payment?
To cancel a payment, click the cancel link under Pending Payments. You can choose to cancel a payment up until the time the payment is processed.
