It's Me 247 Bill Pay Logo

We will be launching a new, enhanced, online bill pay soon! The new system will include features that we expect will make this valuable tool even better, including:

  • Full integration within online banking
  • Full mobile functionality for your phone or tablet
  • Ability to configure email alerts
  • Real-time access to checking account balance
  • Reminders if balance isn’t sufficient to pay bills
  • A more intuitive, user-friendly experience

In order to roll out the enhanced version, we’ll need to tempo­rarily turn off our current It’s Me 247 Bill pay for a short period prior to our upgrade. Beginning July 19th  you will not have access to It’s Me 247 Bill pay.

On July 21st the new system will be available and of course we encourage you to log in and check out at that time!

WILL MY PAYMENTS STILL PROCESS DURING THE UPGRADE?

Yes. While you will not have access to bill pay for a short period of time, your scheduled payments will processes during our upgrade window.  If you have already completed the Payee Collection Form you can use that data to ensure you can verify your scheduled payments post-upgrade. If you have not yet completed that form, please take a moment to fill it out now.

If your payment is scheduled to be delivered on or before July 19th, your payment will be scheduled to process.

If your payment is scheduled after July 19th you will need to log in and reschedule the payment using the new system.

WILL REPEATING OR AUTOMATED PAYMENTS CONVERT?

No. If reoccurring payments are scheduled after July 19th you will need to reschedule the payments using the new system.

WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE MY PAYMENT HISTORY?

No.  Your payment history will not be able to be carried forward into our upgraded system. If you want your payment history you must download or print out this information prior to July 19th, or plan to refer to your general transaction history for this information. After this date your prior payment history will no longer be available within the bill pay system.

To download your bill pay data now, please follow these steps:

  • Login to your bill pay account
  • Select the ‘ACTIVITY’ tab
  • You can download your completed payment history to a comma-separated values (CSV) file
WILL PAYMENTS PROCESS DIFFERENTLY THAN THE CURRENT SYSTEM?

In a few ways. First, with the current bill pay system, your payment could be sent as a member draft check, corporate check, or an electronic payment. The new system will no longer send a corporate check from your account.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHANGE! – You will no longer select the ‘deliver by’ date when scheduling payments. The new system will ask you what day you want to ‘send’ your payment. Here is an example of the difference:

Current Method: You would schedule a payment to be delivered by 8/12/16. The bill pay system will then send your payment prior to the payment date so that your payment would arrive by said date.

New Method: You will pick the day that you want your payment to be processed. You will notice that we will display the estimated delivery date for your convenience. If your payment is due by 08/12/16, you would need to login before your due date and schedule your payment.

Electronic Payment – You would need to send on or before 8/11/16.

Check Payment – You would need to send on or before 8/3/16.

WILL I STILL HAVE MY STATEMENTS DELIVERED TO BILL PAY?

Your electronic bills will not carry over to the new system. If your payee is currently sending your bill to bill pay, you will be automatically un-enrolled when we turn off bill pay.

To switch to paper bills prior to the system enhancement, you would need to login to your current bill pay account and un-enroll from the electronic copy. This should be done at your earliest convenience so you can work with your biller to determine your new billing preference. If you do not request an un-enrollment prior to the enhancement, we will be notifying your biller to no longer send your bill electronically to bill pay. You should contact your biller to confirm how your bills will be delivered moving forward.

When the new bill pay service is available on July 21st, we encourage that you enroll in the eBill service to re-establish electronic statements.

WILL I STILL USE THE PAYMENT INQUIRY TOOL TO SUBMIT QUESTIONS ABOUT MY BILL?

The payment inquiry tool will no longer be available within bill pay. If you have a question about your bill, you can contact our member service department by giving us a call or stopping by your local branch.

HOW WILL I RECEIVE BILL PAY NOTIFICATIONS?

We have two ways of communication with our enhanced system.

EMAIL NOTIFICATION:

You will receive an email notification from our bill pay system. The communication will be sent by noreply@payveris.com. We encourage that you add this email address to your address book to ensure that it is correctly delivered to your inbox.

ONLINE BANKING NOTIFICATION:

It’sMe247 will display the same communication within the bill pay message center.

I HAVE ADDED EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS TO MY BILL PAY. WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFER MONEY BETWEEN THESE ACCOUNTS?

The Account-to-Account (A2A) feature will no longer be available with the enhancement. If you have added an external account for these transfers, the information will not be carried over to our new system.

We are excited to announce that we will be offering a Person-to-Person (P2P) program. You will have the convenience of sending money to anyone located in the United States by sending a secure text message or email.

WHAT IS PERSON-TO-PERSON?

The Person-to-Person program allows you to electronically send money to any individual located in the United States. You will not be asked to enter their account number and routing number. Instead – you will be asked to specify how you wish to send the payment. You will be able to send either a secure text message or email communication. With your transfer, you will enter a password that should be provided to the recipient. They will be sent a secure website that walks them through the steps of collecting the money you sent.

WHAT IF I AM NOT AN ACTIVE BILL PAY USER?

If you currently do not use It’s Me 247 Bill pay you will not be affected by this upgrade.

If you have been thinking about enrolling in It’s Me 247 Bill pay we recommend waiting until after July 21st to enroll so you can enjoy our upgraded system.
