Troubleshooting
When I click BillPay, either nothing happens OR I get a message about a pop-up blocker.
This is probably due to a pop-up blocker setting.
BillPay shows in a new browser window ("pop-up"), so you may need to adjust the pop-up blocker security settings on your computer as follows:
- Allow pop-ups for the following sites. (Click here for Windows XP Internet Explorer Instructions)
- pcaccess.nefcu.com
- nefcu.billsupport.com
- info.nefcu.com
If your browser differentiates between http and https, enter these sites as https.
- Additionally, the following applications should be checked for pop-up blockers. Refer to your software documentation for instructions:
- Personal firewalls such as Tiny Firewall or Black Ice
- Spyware and Adware blockers such as Spybot, Aiepk, iClean. Adaware
- Additional Toolbars such as Yahoo, Google, NetZero/Juno, AOL, MSN, Earthlink. Many times pop-up options can be set by right-clicking on these toolbars.
Sometimes you may not be aware that you have another Toolbar operating. Here's an example of what your screen might look like with a Yahoo Toolbar turned on.
- You can generally override a pop-up blocker by holding down the SHIFT or CONTROL key while clicking on the BillPay link. Continue to hold SHIFT or CONTROL until the new window pops up (this may take up to 2 minutes).
- NEFCU uses in session "cookies" during transactions. To use BillPay your computer must accept cookies. Refer to this Google document for specific browser instructions:

PC Banking disappears when I open BillPay.
When you open BillPay, the PC Banking screen below will become blank, except for the navigation. Either while you still have the BillPay window open or afterwards, you can click to another area of PC Banking.
After you have had BillPay open for 15 minutes, if you haven't clicked back to another PC Banking screen underneath, PC Banking will close due to a security time out.
Why does my address say ### Metavante Way, Sioux Falls, SD 57186?
The Metavante Way address is the Processing Center for scanned bills, and the number associated with the address is unique to you. That is the address that you will request to have your bills sent to if you choose to set up an e-bill for a payee, and the e-bill type for that payee is a scanned bill. Bills from that payee will go to the Metavante Way address.

General
How do I start using BillPay?
In PC Banking, click on the BillPay link (on the green bar) and follow the instructions. If you are not yet signed up for PC Banking, first get a registration code by contacting a Member Service Representative at 800 400 8790.
What is BillPay?
BillPay is the ability to manage and pay your bills via PC Banking, often through an electronic rather than check payment. The funds are taken from one of your share draft accounts.
Why should I use BillPay?
With BillPay, you can manage your bills online, set up rules to have bills paid without your intervention, and get detailed reporting on your spending. BillPay allows you to reduce or even eliminate the security risk of paper bills arriving, and lets you keep tabs on bills and payments with personalized email updates. You won't need stamps and envelopes, and you won't spend time writing out checks.
Is BillPay easy to use?
If you can use PC Banking, you can use BillPay. With easy to understand screens and clear Help screens, you will enjoy paying bills! You are always given the opportunity to verify every transaction you do. And if you do have any trouble, our staff is ready to help. You can View Demo! to see just how simple it is.
How much does BillPay cost?
BillPay is free for members with loan and/or deposit balances greater than or equal to $5,000, and it is free for all Bank@Work and eMembers. Otherwise, the fee for BillPay is $6.00 per month, regardless of the number of payments.
Can I change which account my BillPay fee is debited from?
You can adjust which account your fee is debited from by changing your primary debit account. Go to Funding account list to make this change.
What happens if a bill is paid late?
In the event of a payment error where we are at fault, we will pay any penalty fees imposed by the payee. This guarantee applies when you have provided us with correct payee and payment information, and when you have scheduled the payment to an approved payee with the appropriate Send on date to meet the Deliver by date equivalent to the payee's due date. (A Deliver by date beyond the due date, even if within a "grace period", does not meet the criteria for us to guarantee on-time payment. We are not responsible for any late payments if you enter a Deliver by date after the payee's due date.)
What do I need in order to use BillPay?
You will need to have a NEFCU Share Draft (checking) account and you will need to be a PC Banking user. To set up a payment, you will need to know the name of the party you wish to pay, their payment address and telephone number, your account number (if applicable), and payment amount. That's it!
I have a foreign address - can I use BillPay?
No, unfortunately certain aspects of the BillPay system are not set up for you. If you have a foreign address, you should not become a BillPay user. However if you used BillPay prior to January 2006 and therefore have been informed about the limitations, you may continue using BillPay.

How does BillPay work?
How do I make a payment to any payee?
On the Make Payments page, enter the amount you want to pay and when you want your payment to be sent and click "Pay".
How do I know when to send the payment?
Below the "Send On" field a "Deliver By" date appears. There is also a calendar tool; once you click to open the tool, you can select dates and you will see the Deliver By date change according to the Send On date you are choosing.
Can I pay bills from more than one account?
Yes, you can pay bills from any share draft (checking) account on which you are a signer.
Can you pay my bills automatically?
Yes. If you regularly make a payment for a fixed amount, you can establish an automatic payment rule for those payments. For example, you could set up a rent payment as an automatic payment.
If you would like us to pay an e-bill automatically, you can establish automatic payment rules. The automatic payment rule instructs us to issue a payment for a bill for a specific payee without requiring your approval. You can pay the full bill, pay the minimum due, or pay a fixed amount. For example, you could tell us to pay your credit card bill automatically in three different ways:
- Pay the entire bill if it is $200 or less. You are contacted for approval if it is more than $200.
- Pay the minimum amount due every month.
- Pay $100 every month.
You can choose to receive an e-mail notification when an automatic payment is about to be paid.
Can I use my regular checkbook?
Yes. If you wish to, you can continue to write paper checks.
How will I know when a payment has been sent?
On the Make Payments page, you will see the "Last 5 Processed Payments". If your payment is further back, see the bottom right "Other Tasks" menu, where you can select "Find a payment".
Where do you send my payment?
We send your payment to the address you provided to us for each of your payees. In some cases we have a special relationship with a payee for payment purposes, and we use a preferred address the payee has provided to which they want payments to be sent.
Do I have to pay the entire bill amount?
You decide the amount you want to pay towards each bill. You can use the Personal Notes tool to attach a reminder to yourself to your bill indicating the reason the entire amount was not paid.
How are payments issued?
Payments are issued electronically or via paper checks, depending on the payee's capabilities. Both electronic payments and paper checks always include remittance information, ensuring that your payee can accurately record that a payment has been received for your account.
When are checks issued to my payees?
To have a check sent out the same day that you authorize payment, you must authorize the payment before 4 PM Eastern Time (the postmark may be the next business day). If you schedule the payment after 4 PM Eastern Time, your payment will be issued the next business day at 4 PM Eastern Time.
The money will not be deducted from your account until the payee cashes your check.
When is an electronic payment sent?
The payment will be sent at 4 PM Eastern Time on the day you designated the payment to be sent. To have an EFT issued on the same day you authorize payment, you must authorize the payment before 4 PM Eastern Time. Please note that some EFT transactions may clear your account the same day they are issued. Be sure your funds are available in your account in advance of scheduling the payment.
How do I change a Scheduled Payment?
To change a payment, in the "Pending Payments" area click on the "Edit" link.
How do I cancel a payment?
To change a payment, in the "Pending Payments" area, click on the "Cancel" link.
Can I issue a stop payment on a BillPay payment?
For a check payment that you did not cancel in time within BillPay, you can use PC Banking or call TeleBranch at 800 400 8790, option 6, to place a Stop Payment on the check if it hasn't yet cleared your account. The normal Stop Payment fee will apply.
When will the payment I authorized be debited from my account?
If the payee is being paid via paper check, the amount is deducted from your account when the payee cashes the check. If the payee is being paid via an electronic payment, the amount is deducted from your account within three business days after the Send on date (it may be debited as early as the Send on date).
Who can I pay with BillPay? What payments are not allowed?
You can pay almost any individual or company providing they are in the continental United States. Prohibited payments include:
- payments to payees outside of the United States
- government payments
- government-mandated payments (for example child support or a traffic fine)
- payments for collection purposes
We do NOT notify you if you make a prohibited payment. If you attempt to pay any of the non-supported entities, we will not be responsible for any consequences due to delayed or non-issued payments.
Why did you change the payee address that I entered?
You might notice a payee address is different than the one you entered. Once you enter a payee, all account information (account number and address) is verified according to what we have learned through previous payments and through communication with the payee. (For example, a payee may have a different address for payments received electronically.) The payment address may then be adjusted to get payment to the payee as quickly as possible.
Can I use BillPay for a payment due today?
No. Depending on whether the payee is already set up, and the kind of payment relationship that we have with them (for example, electronic versus check) the payment might be received as soon as the next business day, but it could be up to five business days. The calendar tool available when you make a payment will indicate when the payment will be delivered.

Funding Accounts
How can I remove a funding account?

How do I close a funding account?
To close an account, you will need to make the request in writing (for security). Please inform the Member Service Representative that you are a BillPay user, and they will help you change your existing payments to the new account, and change your default accounts if necessary.
How can I tell which account a payment is coming from?
Under Pending Payments, click the on the Amount to display detail about the payment, including "Paid from". To find the account paid from for a payment already made, use "View Reports". To fine the account paid from for an Automatic Payment, click on the Payee name and then on "View/Change Payee Details".
What is a primary funding account?
Your primary funding account, which is initially set as the first account the BillPay service encounters, is the account that will serve as the default account for payments and fees, unless you specify a different account.
What is a default funding account?
A default funding account is the funding account that will be used for a specific payee if that choice is not edited. Initially, the default will be your primary funding account. You can have different default funding accounts for different payees.

How do I know a payee is inactive?
If you select "Show all payees", you will see "This payee is currently inactive." to the right of inactive payees. Or, if you click on the payee name, you will see a choice to "Activate payee", telling you that payee is currently inactive payee.
How long will it take before I begin to receive my bills online?
After registering a payee, it typically takes one to two 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.
If NEFCU is the payee, how should I set up the account number so you will know where to put the payment?
In all cases, using PC Banking to transfer directly to the account is preferable. However, if you want to use BillPay to pay a NEFCU loan, set up the payment as follows:
- for a Visa payment, enter your account number followed by the sweep account number. Example: 221133S95
- for a Mortgage payment, enter your account number followed by the sweep account number. Example: 221133S99
- for a loan payment, enter your account number followed by the account type. Example: 221133L3
- to pay any other NEFCU account, enter the account number followed by the account type. Example: 221133S1.1

Payment Rules
What is a manual payment?
A manual payment is a payment that you initiate each time you want it sent. Manual payment is the default payment rule for each payee you add.
What is an automatic payment rule?
An automatic payment is a payment that you issue regularly for a fixed amount regardless of receiving a bill. For example, you can tell us to issue a payment to your mortgage company each month. You can choose to receive an e-mail notification each time an automatic payment is about to be paid.
What is an automatic payment rule?
An automatic payment rule tells BillPay how to respond to one of your e-bills. For example, you can set up a payment to go out every month on a certain date without requiring your approval each time. You can pay the full bill, pay the minimum due, or pay a fixed amount. For example, you could tell us to pay your credit card bill automatically in three different ways:
- Pay the entire bill if it is $200 or less. (You are contacted for approval if it is more than $200.)
- Pay the minimum amount due every month.
- Pay $100 every month.
You will receive an e-mail notification when an automatic bill is about to be paid.
What happens if a payment is scheduled to be sent on a weekend or holiday?
A payment set to be sent on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday will be sent on the following business day.
If I have an automatic payment set up for a date that doesn't occur in every month (for example the 31st) when will that payment be sent?
In the event that an automatic payment is set up for the 31st of the month and the current month only has 30 days, the payment will be sent on the next business day after the 30th.

Electronic Payments
What does it mean to send a payment electronically?
In general, electronic payments are paid through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
What is Electronic Funds Transfer?
Electronic Funds Transfer, or EFT, allows us to send payments to your payees electronically, rather than preparing and mailing a paper check. EFT payments are advantageous because your payee receives payment faster than with a paper check, and there is no risk of a check getting lost in the mail.
Are EFT payments safe?
Just like Payroll Direct Deposit and ATM transactions, EFT payments are extremely safe. All payment information is encrypted with 128-bit SSL and sent through a secure communications channel. Information cannot be redirected, read, or tampered with.
How does EFT work?
In general, the EFT process can take up to 3 business days. Listed below is an example of how an EFT payment reaches your payee.
Monday: Payment is issued and the EFT process initiates. The payment leaves your Payment Outbox and can be viewed as a report.
Tuesday: Your payment account is debited via Automated Clearing House (ACH). ACH is the national standard for debiting a funding account.
Wednesday: Payment is sent to your payee via MasterCard Remote Payment and Presentation Service.
Thursday/Friday: Depending on your payee's process, the payment may post to your account.
Although most EFT transactions take up to three business days, it's important to note that some EFT transactions may clear your account the same day they are issued. Be sure to have the funds in your account in advance to avoid a non-sufficient funds fee or returned payment.
When are electronic payments issued?
When you set up a payment, the Electronic Funds Payment (EFT) will be sent at 4 PM Eastern Time on the day you designated the payment to be sent. To have an EFT issued on the same day you authorize payment, you must authorize the payment before 4 PM Eastern Time.
How long does it take for an electronic payment to be received?
Electronic payments are generally received by the second business day following the Send On date, but this varies by payee. The calendar tool available to you when you make a payment shows the time required for that particular payee. Note that some electronic transactions may clear your account the same day they are issued. Be sure to have the funds in your account in advance to avoid a non-sufficient funds fee or returned payment.
When is the money for an electronic transaction deducted from my account?
Some electronic transactions can take up to three business days (from the Send On date) to be deducted from your account, while others may be deducted from your account the same day they are issued. Be sure to have the funds in your account in advance to avoid a non-sufficient funds fee or returned payment.
What happens if I don't have enough money in my account for the payment I have set up?
If you have overdraft protection, that will be used to cover your payment. Otherwise, we will make a decision about providing funds for your payments. We may go ahead and issue payment to your payee (if so, the amount of this payment is then due to us), or we may not make the payment. Either way, you will be charged an non-sufficient funds fee.
Why can't I issue an electronic payment?
Some payees do not have the technology to accept electronic payments. In these cases a paper check will be sent.

E-bills
What are e-bills?
An e-bill is a bill that you receive electronically, through BillPay. There are basically three types of e-Bills:
- The first type is an electronic bill that we receive from one of your billers and which we redirect, electronically in BillPay, to you.
- The second type is a bill that we receive in paper form which we scan and present to you electronically. To receive this type of bill, you must ask your payee to redirect your bill to the BillPay processing center.
- The third type is a bill we retrieve from your biller's website and present to you electronically. (This is generally done by using your user id and password at the biller's website.)
All three types are e-bills because they are presented to you in an electronic format.
How do you retrieve bills from my biller's website?
First, you register with your biller's website. Then, you provide us with your user ID and password, and we'll go to your biller's website and retrieve your bill for you each month. That way you can come to one place and see all your bills.
A bill that we "scrape" or "retrieve" directly from your biller's website and display for you is just one type of e-bill. With bills retrieved this way, almost any online bill can be presented to you conveniently through BillPay. And you don't need to worry about changing address information.
When I set up e-bills for a payee, if you require user ID and password, which do I use?
When adding or editing this type of payee, you will be prompted to enter your login information for that biller's website-exactly as you would if you were accessing your account at their website. If you are not yet registered for online access to your account through the biller's website, please take a moment to do so before continuing with this setup process. Note that you should enter your user ID and password (or other requested information) for the biller's website, not the site that you use to pay your bills.
Is the login information for my biller's websites kept private/secure?
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of all your personal information. Your login information is kept confidential, and is used only to retrieve an electronic version of your bill from the biller's website so that we can present it to you online. For your security, all input fields for setting up your payee-specific login information are encrypted and hidden from view.
What is the advantage for me to give you my user IDs and passwords for biller sites?
Supplying us with the login information for each of your billers' websites serves to consolidate all of your electronic bills in one place. It enables us to retrieve electronic versions of your bills and present them to you in a single, secure location. You get all of the benefits of electronic delivery without the hassles of having to remember to go to each biller's website individually and keep track of the entire various user IDs and passwords every time you need to view or pay a bill.
I am having trouble setting up an e-bill.
If you are setting up bill presentment, and registered at the payee site very recently, it make take a while for your registration to be recognized.
I set up e-bills for a payee so that you could retrieve bills from this payee's website. Why am I still receiving the paper bill at home?
Some payees may continue to send a paper bill to your home even after you begin receiving the bill online. To avoid making duplicate payments, it is best to pay only those bills that arrive online. Some payees may offer the option of "turning off" the paper bill, either by indicating such a preference on their website or by contacting their Customer Service department via phone or e-mail.
I set up e-bills for a payee so that my bills would go to the BillPay processing center. Why am I still receiving the paper bill at home?
Some payees may continue to send a paper bill to your home even after you begin receiving the bill online. To avoid making duplicate payments, it is best to pay only those bills that arrive online. If a duplicate scanned version of the bill is received at the processing center, it will be presented to you as a notice (rather than a bill), and a Change of Address form will be issued requesting that this scanned version be redirected to your service address.
Are payments to payees for bills retrieved from the biller's website made electronically?
The fact that a payee is enabled for presentment is not necessarily an indication that they can accept payments via electronic funds transfer (EFT). The presentment of bills we retrieve from your biller's website and EFT payment are separate technology initiatives. Depending on the particular payee's capabilities, payments are issued either electronically or via paper check.

Billing Address
What is the billing address of your processing center?
When you enrolled, you were assigned a unique address at the processing center, and you can see this address when you are in the process of setting up an e-bill, if it is a scanned bill.
For bills you have redirected, this is your billing address. Some merchants ask for a billing address to confirm credit card purchases made by telephone or over the Internet. In addition, your payees may reference this address when verifying your account or identity with them.
For bills retrieved from your payee's website and bills you receive at home, your billing address will not change.

Bills Sent to Processing Center
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. Then the BillPay service can retrieve your information from the biller.
When will my bill appear?
Electronic bills are posted to your account immediately. A bill that we retrieve from your biller's website will appear within 24 hours. In the case of a bill that is scanned in the BillPay processing center, the scanned bill will be posted to your account within 24-48 hours of receipt. Setting up scanned bills may take one to two months, depending on the payee.
What happens to hard copies of my bills that have been scanned?
Paper bills received from your payees are converted to electronic form within 24-48 hours from when they are received at the BillPay 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. Your original paper bill is stored for three months from the day of receipt, after which it is shredded.
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.
What if my payee sends something other than a bill to the BillPay Processing Center?
Solicitations (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 in BillPay. Account-related items, such as a calling card, are immediately forwarded to your home mailing address. All other items received, such as merchandise ordered online, will be returned to the sender. Please be sure to indicate your home as the shipping address when ordering items online, through catalogs, etc.
What happens if a bill gets lost?
The BillPay service logs and tracks 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 stop having bills scanned and resume receiving my paper bill at home?
To stop online delivery of a bill, click on the Payee, then click the "Cancel e-bill" link. Contact your payee and request that they update your billing address.
If you have just made the request for an e-bill, you must wait until the request is set up before you can stop it. Setting up scanned bills may take one to two months, depending on the payee.
I'm receiving a bill at home. How do I begin receiving it online?
If you have already set up the payee, to begin online delivery click the "Sign up e-bill link" in the payees area. Notify the payee to redirect your bill to the processing center. You should begin receiving your bill online within two billing cycles.
If you have not yet set up this payee, click "Pay someone new". During the setup process, you will be asked if you want to receive an e-bill.
Why does the "Action needed" link appear on the My Payees and Payee Details page?
This link appears when we need additional information from you regarding your bill.
My payee won't allow scanned bills.
In some cases a payee will not allow your bill to be sent to the BillPay Processing Center. For example, some insurance companies require that the bill goes to the same address as the address on the policy. These payees will continue to mail their statements to you.
Why does my address say ### Metavante Way, Sioux Falls, SD 57186?
The Metavante Way address is the Processing Center for scanned bills, and the number associated with the address is unique to you. That address will be used if you choose to set up an e-bill for a payee, and the e-bill type for that payee is a scanned bill. Bills from that payee will go to the Metavante Way address after you notify the payee.
What address is used for my scanned bills?
Click "Set up e-bill" below a payee (this should be a payee that does not have electronic billing, such as a smaller payee, or a personal payee). On the next screen you will see an address beginning with your name, and then a numbered address at Metavante Way. This is the unique address where your payees can send bills to be scanned.

Non-bill Notices
What is a non-bill notice?
Occasionally, we will receive items from your payees such as rate changes or announcements about special offers. We scan these items and post them to your Bill Inbox as non-bill notices.
In most cases, non-bill notices are filed under their corresponding payees. If we are unable to determine which payee a customer message belongs to, it will be filed as a miscellaneous message. You have the option to reassign a miscellaneous message to any of your payees.
How do I view a non-bill notice?
Click "View e-bill".
How do I assign a non-bill notice?
Click the Assign link. The Assign Non-bill Notice page appears. Using this page you can assign this notice to the appropriate payee. If the appropriate payee does not exist for your account, you will have the opportunity to create a new payee file.
Can I delete a non-bill notice?
You can move a non-bill notice by assigning it to a payee, however, you cannot delete the notice entirely.

Credit Cards
What happens if a credit card is sent to the processing center?
All account-related items sent to the processing center (such as a calling card or a credit card) are immediately forwarded to your home address. You will receive an e-mail if we forward an item to your home.

E-mail Notifications
When do you contact me regarding my account?
We use e-mail notifications to keep in touch with you about your account. You may choose to receive e-mails in the following situations:
- When a bill is received.
- When a bill has not been received X days before the billing date.
- When no payment has been scheduled X days before the payment is due.
- When a payment is made.
These are some of the general e-mail notifications you will receive which you may opt to turn on or off. From time to time, you may also receive other notifications about your account such as e-mails about a specific payment, a change to a payee, or future payment reminders.
Can I change how and when I am notified about my account?
You can tailor the e-mail notifications to meet your unique bill management style. To change which e-mail notifications you receive, click on the payee, then choose "Change notifications".
In addition to these e-mail notifications, we may contact you from time to time with important information about one of your payees, changes to the service, or service enhancements. The purpose of these emails is to help you get the most out of BillPay. In accordance with our privacy policy, we will never sell any of your personal or financial information to third parties. You will never receive a third-party e-mail as a result of using BillPay.
When will I be notified that I have a new bill?
An e-mail notification is automatically sent to your attention as soon as a bill posts to your account. Electronic bills are posted to your account immediately; paper bills are posted within 24-48 hours from when they arrive at the processing center.
When will I be notified that a bill has been paid?
For a paper check, you can receive a payment confirmation e-mail when your check is cut and mailed. For an electronic payment, you can receive a payment confirmation e-mail when the electronic payment is initiated. Whether you will receive these emails depends on the email settings you have chosen for each Payee.
When will you notify me if a bill is overdue for payment?
One of our goals is to help you eliminate past due bills and expensive late fees. We can send you an e-mail if a bill is due in X days and we have not received any payment instructions from you. If you do not want to make a payment on this bill, simply click the File link and your bill will be stored for future reference.
When will you notify me if an e-bill is missing?
One of the unique features of BillPay is the ability to detect possible missing bills (which helps you avoid overdue bills and late fees). This can happen if a bill is lost in the mail, or if it has been sent to an incorrect mailing address. Once you have received your first online bill from a payee, we determine that payee's general billing dates. (You should verify the billing cycle for that payee.) If a future bill fails to arrive within the general timeframe you have selected, we will send you an e-mail so that you may contact your payee.

Customer Messages
What is a customer message?
Occasionally, we will receive items from your payees such as a rate change or announcements about special offers. We scan these items and post them, associated with the appropriate payee, as customer messages.
In most cases, customer messages are filed under their corresponding payees. If we are unable to determine which payee a customer message belongs to, it will be filed as a miscellaneous message. You have the option to reassign a miscellaneous message to any of your payees.
How do I reassign a customer message?
Click the Assign link associated with the message. The Assign Customer Message page appears. Using this page you can assign this notice to the appropriate payee. If the appropriate payee does not exist for your account, you will have the opportunity to create a new payee file.

Personal Notes
What are personal notes?
Personal notes are reminders you can add to any payment or filed item. Common uses for a personal note include reminders about why a payment was made, why the entire amount was not paid, or if there is a dispute with the payee. Personal notes are private, and can only be seen by you, not the payee.
Do I have to attach a personal note when filing a bill?
Personal notes are a convenient method of recording payment reminders, but you do not have to attach a personal note to every bill you pay or file.
Can my payees see my personal notes?
No. Unlike the memo field on a check, personal notes are private, and can only be seen by you. In contrast, the memo field on a check is printed right on the check for the purpose of making an additional note to the payee.
