What is Bill Pay and how does it work?

This is Bill Pay:
Bill Pay is a method of paying your bills - electronically or by draft - over the Internet. You must first be signed up for Columbia OnLine, which is free and gives you secure access to to your Columbia Bank accounts via the Internet.

By adding Bill Pay to your Columbia OnLine^® service, you are now able to pay your bills (to ANY merchant, institution or individual in the United States) electronically. You decide when to pay and how much, and the money is transferred from your account automatically - and you have a record of the transaction. It's easy.

We'll go into further detail about how it works, but first here's an example of what you can do with Bill Pay:

• Make online payments to almost any entity or individual in the United States.
• Set up repeating payment of regular monthly bills, like your car payment, mortgage or cable bill, that do not change in amount due or due date.
• Schedule one-time payments in advance - up to a year.
• Keep track of your payments by viewing past and scheduled payments - up to 90 days from the current date.

Now, here's how it all works:
The Columbia OnLine^® bill payment service includes a list of payees that can accept payments electronically. When you request a payment to be made to a payee from our payee list, we will withdraw the funds from your account on the payment date. The following business day our payment processor, iPay, will submit the payment to the payee.

The electronic payment payee list is updated on a regular basis with new payees, as this is the preferred method of payment.

For electronic payments, we recommend that you make the payment at least three full business days prior to the date you want the payment to arrive at your payee.

If a payee is not on the electronic payee list, you may enter the address of the payee and we will mail a check to them for you. We will withdraw the funds from your account and issue a paper bank draft with your name, address, and the account number your payee uses to credit your account with them (if one is needed).

For paper draft payments, we recommend that you request the payment at least five to eight full business days prior to the date you want the payment to arrive at your payee.

We will update the list of payees based on customer needs and usage. Our goal is to pay your bills electronically whenever possible.
