The required information includes: 

  • Payment Amount: By default, we will display the amount of the bill, but you have the flexibility to pay a different amount. For a credit card bill, you will have the minimum amount, total amount due, and a choice to pay any amount between those two amounts.
  • Account to use: Any account that is enabled for Quick Pay Payments. 
  • Date: Select the date you want the payment to process. The amount of time a payment can be scheduled out is determined by the biller. To avoid any late fees, scheduling the payment two or three days prior to the due date is recommended.
