Getting Started

Once you're enrolled in Bill Pay in Blaze Digital Banking and you've added a payee, we will use their name, address, and/or phone number to determine if electronic payments are possible. 

If the payee does not accept electronic payments, a single-use pre-paid card may be used to make the payment, allowing for faster delivery.  If neither of those options work, a paper check will be mailed on your behalf.

Add a Payee

From the Bill Pay menu, select Add Payee.

Have your statement handy and make sure to use your full account number and the payee's official name and billing address. This information helps prevent posting delays making your payment get to your payee faster.

Some payees will allow you to have your statements delivered as an eBill directly into Bill Pay in Blaze Digital Banking.

Tip: You cannot make State, Federal tax, or court-ordered payments in Bill Pay.

Schedule a Payment

Select the payee you wish to pay and enter the payment details.

When scheduling a payment, you will see two dates. The date you select is when your funds will be debited from your account.

Below the date field, you will see an Estimated delivery or Deliver by date that is automatically populated. This is the expected date your payee will receive your payment.

Tip: To make sure the estimated delivery date is on or before the due date, we recommend reviewing the Estimated delivery date when choosing your payment Send on date.

Paying by Check

Most businesses accept an electronic transfer or a one-time pre-paid card as payments in Bill Pay.

Some payees require a paper check be mailed for your payment instead of an electronic transfer. Checks issued for payment are drawn from your account.

The funds will be debited from your account when the payee cashes the check, not the date you schedule the payment. Checks will show up in your transaction history with check numbers starting at 90000 and above.

Tip: Be sure to budget for this money to be debited from your account at a later date to ensure you will have adequate funds available when the check clears to avoid an overdraft.
