What else can I add to my Profile?

What bank account information is required in order to store my bank account as a payment method on my profile?

When paying with a bank account, all payments must be in US funds and drawn on a US bank. Personal Checking, Personal Savings, Commercial Checking and Commercial Savings accounts are all available Account Type choices. Please note that additional fees may apply for bank account payments returned due to insufficient funds.

When adding a bank account as a payment method, you will need to complete the following fields:

· Name on Bank Account

· Account Type (Personal Checking or Savings, Commercial Checking or Savings)

· Routing Number

· Account Number (You will need to re-type Account Number to ensure accuracy)

You may also choose to save a nickname for your bank account, but the nickname is not required.

What is an Automatic Payment?

You may choose to automatically pay your total monthly invoice. You can select Automatic Payment for your account and the monthly amount due will be charged to the payment method you choose automatically. You will receive an email (usually 3 days prior to the date you’ve selected) reminding you that the payment will be made.

Important:To prevent duplicate payments, if you have set up a scheduled payment or one-time payment, please wait 1 week before signing up for Auto Pay. The Auto Pay module has a lookback feature and will process your payment if your due date was within the last six days.

What is a Scheduled Payment?

You may choose to schedule a payment for a future date. For example, say you receive your bill on the 3rd of the month and the payment is due on the 20th of the month. You can schedule the payment to be processed on any date you choose prior to the due date. The payment method you select (bank account) will be charged on that date. You will receive an email (usually 3 days prior to the date you’ve selected) reminding you that the payment will be made.
