Bill Receipt


 

Bill Receipt

How do you get my billing information?

When you register a payee, you provide their name, billing address, account number (if applicable), and other pertinent information. This is the only information we need to accurately issue payments.

Electronic bills are posted immediately to your account. A bill we retrieve from your biller's website will appear within 24 hours, and your payee's billing address will not change. Bills we scan will be posted to your account within 24-48 hours of receipt. Back-to-top icon

What happens to hard copies of my bills that have been scanned?

Your original paper bill is stored for three months from the day of receipt, after which it is shredded for security purposes and recycled. Paper bills received from your payees are converted into electronic form within 24-48 hours from when they are received at our processing center. Once converted into electronic format, your bill is available to you at a summary level, at a detailed transactional level, and as an exact image of the complete original bill.

Summary and transactional information is always available online. Bill images are maintained online for one year from the date the bill is posted online. After one year, your bill images are archived offline for up to eight years. Back-to-top icon

What if some piece of information other than a bill is sent to you?

Solicitations that we receive on your behalf (such as credit card offers) are shredded and recycled. Any non-bill notices, such as a rate change, will be scanned and delivered to you. Account-related items sent to us, such as a calling card, are immediately forwarded to your home mailing address. All other items received, such as merchandise ordered online, cannot be accepted and will be returned to the sender. Please be sure to indicate your home as the shipping address when ordering items online, through catalogs, etc. Back-to-top icon

What happens if a bill gets lost?

We log and track every bill that we receive to assure it is delivered to your account. As an added level of service, we can detect if a regularly occurring bill has not been received when it was expected, and will send an automatic e-mail notification to alert you that it has not arrived.

How do I end delivery of a bill you scan and resume receiving my paper bill at home?

To cancel online delivery of a bill, from the My payees page, Payee Details page, or Make Payments page, click the "Cancel e-bill" link. You should begin receiving your paper bill at home within 1-2 billing cycles. To expedite the process, you may want to contact your payee directly and request that they update your billing address.
