This FREE service allows you to pay bills online, any time. Most bills are eligible and can be added to your account with every little hassle. It’s just another perk of your Secured Advantage Membership.
Using Electronic Bill Pay
This feature of Virtual Branch lets you pay many of your household bills online — no more writing checks or spending money on stamps! Mortgage, utilities, credit cards, doctors and other bills are eligible. Here’s how it works:
Getting Started
First, collect all your bills. Then, click the Virtual Branch icon on the SAFCU homepage. Once you've logged in, then select the BILL PAY tab.
Entering a Merchant
Locate and click on Merchant Accounts. This will take you to a screen where you will enter your merchant information. Next, pull out one of your bills, click on “Add Merchant” and start entering the information into appropriate fields. Click “OK” then, click “OK” to confirm, click on “Merchant Accounts” and repeat as necessary.
Paying a Bill
Once you have entered the merchant information, paying bills is simple. Click on “Set Up/Change Payments” link. Click “Set Up/Change Payments” after clicking next to the merchant you want to pay. Enter the information into the appropriate fields. Click “OK.” Click “OK” to confirm. Click “Back to Setup/Change Payments.” Repeat as necessary.
Scheduling a Payment
Once you have selected either a pay once or recurring payment, just enter the amount of your payment and the payment due date. The Quick Pay option means the payment is paid once and requires you to come back each time to pay that bill again (but you never need to enter the merchant’s information again). The Recurring option lets you set it up once and forget about it. Secured Advantage FCU will make sure the bills get paid each month on the day you specify. Use this option when your monthly payment amount does not change and you have multiple payments to make.
