Payees
How do I add a payee?
To add a new payee to your account, from your navigation links click Add
new payee. The Add a Payee page appears. Just follow the onscreen instructions.
How do I deactivate a payee?
To deactivate a payee, from your navigation links click My payees. The My Payees
page appears. Click the Payee Details link for the payee you want to deactivate
and then from the Payee Details page, click Deactivate Payee. Just follow the
onscreen instructions.
Why did you add the ability to define
a payment category as part of the "add a payee" process?
This feature was added in response to customer requests. Many customers felt
that during the add process it made sense to at the same time establish a payment
category for the payee and we agreed.
How do I add a new category when I'm
adding a payee?
To add a new category from the Add a Payee page, select the Add a new category
option from the Payment category listbox. An entry box appears for you to provide
your new category.
How do I know a payee is inactive?
Simply go to the My Payees page and in the Payee column look beneath the payee
name for the words, "Inactive payee." Please note, that if you select the option
to hide inactive payees, these payees will not appear on this page.
What happens if I can't find the payee
I want to add using either your search or browse utility?
You will be invited to manually add a payee if the search or browse is unsuccessful.
To set up the payee, just enter their name and address.
Can I add a payee if I don't have an
account number?
Yes, just click the "This payee does not have an account number" checkbox on the
Add a Payee page and click Continue. We will then ask you for the payee's
remittance address.
Why can't I remove deactivated payees
from my payee list?
To properly store your billing history and ensure accurate reporting, we cannot
completely delete payees from your account. However, you can "hide" payees that
you no longer use by clicking on the Hide inactive payees link on the My Payees
page.
How do my payees know I'm using your service?
When you add a payee to your account, you can elect to receive your bill at home
or receive it online. If you want to receive your bill online, we will assist you
in notifying your payees to send your bills, either electronically or by mail, to
the processing center for online delivery.
How long will it take before I begin
to receive my bills online?
After registering a payee, it typically takes 1-2 billing cycles before you
begin to receive your bill online.
What happens if I have a dispute with
a payee?
If you have an issue with a specific charge on a bill, you will need to contact
your payee directly. You can pay whatever amount you like while you are disputing
a specific item or you can simply file the bill and pay nothing.
How do I change a payee nickname?
Nicknames are given to your payees to help you identify your accounts quickly. To
change a payee nickname, from your navigation links click My payees. The My Payees
page appears. Click the Payee Details link for the payee whose nickname you want to
change and then at the top of the page click the link to change Payee information.
Why can't I edit my remittance address?
Sometimes customers can't change their address because of the special relationship
we have with a payee.
