A service that streamlines back-office functions by making payments to virtually any individual or company through an online disbursement account.

Business BillPay is tailored to meet the needs of today’s small businesses. In addition to making payments, it provides customized reports, task delegation and permission controls.

Virtually any business or individual with a mailing address within the United States and Puerto Rico. Examples include: Utilities, office supply bills, consultants and independent contractors.

Most payments are delivered electronically. Payor information, such as account numbers are sent via secure transmission. All other payments are made by paper check drawn on an online disbursement account and mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.

It’s one of the safest ways to pay business bills. Business BillPay helps guard against identity theft from lost or stolen checks, bills and statements. It also increases privacy by limiting access to account information, account numbers and payment history.

Generally, payment is received within two to seven days, depending on whether it is sent electronically or via paper check.

Most scheduled payments are sent electronically with funds withdrawn from your account on the payment date.
