Establishing an Automatic Bill Payment

*The following instructions assume you have logged in to online banking and are starting from the Account Summary page.

Step 1 : Select Create Single/Recurring Payments from the Payments menu in the top navigation bar.
Step 2 : Select the desired funding account in the From Account drop-down list.
Step 3 : Select the desired Payee from the drop-down menu.

Step 4 : Type in the amount you would like to pay.

*A decimal is necessary, but a dollar sign is not.

Step 5 : In the Transmit Date field, enter the date on which the payment processing should begin.

*Please initiate payments at least five (5) business days before a bill is due. For payments submitted before 6 p.m. Central Time on a particular business day, the designated funding account will be debited that same evening. For payments sent after 6 p.m. Central Time or on weekends or holidays, the designated funding account will be debited during the following business evening's processing.

Step 6 : Select a Frequency from the drop-down menu.

*The frequency will determine how often a payment will occur. For example, if the Transmit Date is the 15th, the payment will be processed each month on the 15th.

Step 7 : Select an expiration for the series in one of three ways:
  • Select the option for Number of Payments to Complete. Enter the number of times you would like the recurring series to send the payment.
  • Select Date of Final Payment. This means the recurring series will continue on the selected date(s) until the final payment date.
  • Select Continue Until Further Notice. This means your recurring series will continue until you request to edit or cancel it.
Step 8 : If you wish to pay a different amount for your final payment than your regular payment amount, enter an amount in the Amount of Final Payment if different than recurring amount field. You may leave this field blank if a different final amount is not necessary.

Step 9 : Click Continue.

*You will have an opportunity to review the details of this payment before giving final authorization.

Step 10 : Verify the information. Click Previous if changes are necessary, or Submit to finalize the payment.

Step 11 : Click Done to acknowledge your payment has been successfully submitted.

*You will then be directed back to the View/Edit Pending Payments screen.
