Introducing: New Bill Pay As part of our conversion to the Next Generation Online Banking system, our Bill Pay system has been upgraded as well. Your current Bill Pay solution has a new look. The new Bill Pay product looks and performs much like the old Bill Pay system, so learning how to use new Bill Pay is simple and straightforward. And — the best part — all of your current Payees are in the new system already! Plus, we have added a convenient new capability – PicturePay. Create a new Payee or make a payment by simply taking a picture of your bill — fast and easy! As you begin to use new Bill Pay, refer to this User Guide for screen-by-screen instructions.

We want your mobile Online Banking experience to be the best it can be. So, if you use your Smartphone to get your online banking done on the go, please be sure to use our Mobile Banking App.

The App is designed and optimized for Smartphones, and has all of the same features that are available on our web-based system. When you use your browser instead of the App, you’ll be very frustrated because the screens will not display properly on your phone.

Save yourself that frustration and download the Mobile App today!

Benefits of New Bill Pay

Seamless Operation

New Bill Pay is integrated into your online banking platform to provide you with even more secure access. It is no longer necessary to leave one site for another when you want to pay your bills.

Easier, Cleaner Interface

We kept all of the important features of Bill Pay and cleaned up the screens to make processing a payment faster.

Payments Clear Just Like Checks No more pending payments on your account. Funds for electronic payments with large merchants are deducted from your account on the day the payment is sent electronically. Funds for payments sent to smaller payees clear just like a normal check.

Reminder: You must have sufficient funds when making your bill payments.

PicturePay Setting up a Payee is as fast as taking a picture of the Bill! We use the latest Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, so you may now populate the fields necessary to set up a payee in a few seconds. This eliminates the need to type in all of the information yourself. Nice, huh?
