eBills

Get your bills delivered right to Bill Pay.

Major companies in the Bill Pay payee database have the potential to be set up as an eBill, allowing you to receive your bills within Bill Pay.

• Once you've entered the payee into Bill Pay you will see them within the eBill Connect section of the Bill Pay homepage if they provide eBills
• Just click their name in the list and enter your user information from the payee's website to have that bill delivered to Bill Pay
• If you wish to stop receiving paper bills after setting up eBills, you must contact your billing company

How do I set up Bill Pay alerts?

You can set up a variety of alerts to keep you informed about your Bill Pay account activity. All alerts are available by email, and some can be sent via text, too.

• Account Activity Alerts – get notified when certain types of activity occur, such as when a payment processes, when you have a new secure message, when a transaction is scheduled, or when a new eBill is received.
• Transaction List Alerts – monthly email alerts containing a list of transactions for the month, such as those scheduled to process or those that were paid.
• Bill Pay Account Security Alerts – Elements takes account security very seriously, and there are a few alerts you will automatically receive to protect your account, such as a notification when a payee is added to your Bill Pay account or when a payee’s information is changed.
• Reminders – Set one-time or recurring reminders for yourself to remember to make a payment or that a payment is coming out of your account.
