There are two basic steps involved in using WebPay to make online payments:
- Set up your billers.
- Schedule payments.
When you first begin using the service, set up your biller list by adding the billers you want to make payments to. Some billers can send electronic bills (E-bills). You only need to add each biller once.
All of your billers are listed in your "Payment Center." When you make a payment, you specify the date that you want the biller to receive the payment. The earliest available payment date will pre-populate. You can use the calendar to select the date the payment will arrive. Once a payment has been scheduled, it appears under "Pending Payments." After the payment has been processed, it will appear under "Recent Payments."
WebPay payments can be sent one of three different ways. When possible, a payment is sent electronically. This is solely determined by the biller. This type of payment is sent at least one day in advance and your account is drafted on the same day you scheduled the payment. This type of payment will appear as an electronic draft on your monthly statement.
The other forms of WebPay payments are sent by check. A single check is written off of our bill pay provider's account and the funds are deducted from your account as an electronic draft on the day you schedule the payment to arrive.
A draft check is a type of payment that will not clear your account until the biller cashes the check. These checks are six digits long and begin with 60
