Definitions

Biller

Entity that will receive the check or electronic payment from Pay Bills.

Electronic Biller

Billers that allow instant or next-day payments based on biller and payment method. Payments made to electronic billers will come out of your account or your card and will be charged for the payment on the send date.

The Letter E Iconicon on the biller card denotes payments will be made electronically.

Manual Biller

Typically a small business or service (e.g., landscaping or pool service) that does not have a large institutional foundation and cannot accept electronic payments using typical banking payment rails. Manual Billers will receive a check in 5-7 days, with the option of sending expedited checks within 2-3 business days for an additional fee. Checks will be posted directly to an account when the biller cashes the check.

The Check Iconicon on the biller card denotes payments will be made by check.
