Set up recurring payments online

Consider signing up for auto bill pay options through online banking

Online banking is a safe, convenient way to keep track of your different accounts and transactions. It also provides you with the ability to access paperless statements 24/7, track balances and cashed checks, make transfers between accounts, and set up recurring payments. If you already have a checking account you manage online, setting up auto bill pay for scheduled payments is relatively simple.

How to set up automatic payments through your online banking

Online bill payment is simple to set up. All you need is your basic checking account information and a recent bill. First, enroll in online banking with your ATM/debit card number, pin and account number. Once you're using online banking, adding auto bill pay and making payments just takes a few steps.

• Choose whether you want to add an individual or company to your payees
• Search for the company or biller, or manually enter your payee's information
• Provide the account number located on your bills
• Enter the amount of the payment, the date of the payment, and whether you will make individual or recurring payments
• You can always cancel a recurring payment or change the date, amount or frequency, simply by going to Manage My Bills in online banking

Some bills, like car payments, insurance, or mortgage will likely stay the same each month. Automatic bill pay will make sure your payments are made on time in the amount you designate. However, if you have something like credit card balances that are more varied, you may want to enter these amounts manually. Online bill payment allows you to set up individual payments in addition to recurring payments for those who prefer closer management of their payments.
