IMPORTANT NEWS FOR BILL PAY USERS

Our bill pay service will be changing with new and improved features. To perform this upgrade, service will be unavailable from 7:00 pm Thursday, February 28th to Tuesday March 5th. Any payments that are already scheduled will process as normal, including payments scheduled to be paid during this period.

Please see actions below you will need to consider to make this transition as smooth as possible for you:

Continue to make changes to payees, payments, profile information, etc. until 7:00 pm Thursday, February 28th.
All your payees and all scheduled bill payments will be automatically transferred to the new online bill pay service.
All payments scheduled between Thursday, February 28 and Tuesday, March 5th WILL be processed as scheduled. There is no need to reschedule any of your payments.
Please note that the separate payee history will not be transferred. Your account statements contain all payment history information but if you wish to retain a history by payee separately from your other account activity, you will need to print it or download it before 7:00 pm Thursday, February 28.
Remember, our online bill pay service will be unavailable from 7:00 pm Thursday February 28 to March 5th.

Recommended Actions to Prevent Missed Payments

We recommend that you print a list of your payees and a list of your scheduled payments before 7:00 pm Thursday, February 28 so you have it to compare against the information in the new bill pay service.
Be sure to review your payee information and scheduled payments the first time you log in after March 5.
