Q: How do I pay people?
How it works: Choose the option that is best for you.
- Provide the recipient’s email address and a secure text password of your choosing. The recipient then logs into a secure site using that password and provides the required account information. A payment is deposited electronically from your account into their account.
- Provide the recipient’s bank routing number and deposit account information, and a payment is sent electronically.
- Provide the recipient’s mailing address, and a paper check will be mailed.
What makes it so simple? Sending money electronically is faster, more convenient, and more secure than sending a check. Even when a paper check is necessary, online bill pay can save you time. That’s because we mail your check directly to the recipient, which saves you a trip to the post office.
How to get started: When you add a payee in your online bill pay account, simply choose to add an individual rather than a company or business.
