eBill

eBill is a feature that allows you to receive and pay electronic summary versions of paper bills directly from your Commercial Bill Pay account.

eBills are delivered directly to your Commercial Bill Pay account. Once you set up an individual eBill for a company you do business with, an eBill comes directly from that payee to your account. Examples: Utility providers, phone service providers, and credit card companies.

You will continue to receive paper statements from your payee unless your payee no longer sends a paper statement after you start receiving an eBill or you request your payee to stop sending paper statements.

There are two easy ways to determine if a payee offers eBill. You can check to see if there is a Set up eBill link next to the payee’s name on your Commercial Bill Pay home page, or look for the Sign Up icon under their name in the View Payees section.

With eBill, everything you need is in one convenient location. Using eBill allows you to streamline your bill pay routine and have online access to your bills. In addition, you can view past bill summaries at a glance.

Balance due, due date, and minimum payment amount are included in your eBill. If you need additional details, there is a link that lets you log in to your account on your payee’s website.

To pay an eBill, simply choose the account you want to pay from, enter the amount you want to pay, then schedule when you want the payment delivered.

You can sign up to receive an email alert when an eBill has been delivered to your account.
