How long can I access my eBills online?

Once you request to receive eBills from a business, you will no longer receive a paper bill. However you can print a paper copy of any eBill, if you prefer. 

This is an invitation for you to explore the convenience and benefits of receiving your bill at the same place where you currently pay your bill. During this introduction you will be provided with an electronic bill while continuing to receive a paper bill. If you like the convenience of electronic billing you can decide to stop receiving paper bills.

Most businesses use the same billing cycle as mailed bills, so you can expect to receive your bill at approximately the same time of the month that you currently receive your paper bill – without the postal delay.

You can pay an eBill just like any other online bill payment. Or you can choose to have your eBills paid automatically with Auto-Pay (under a certain dollar amount). 

Bill Pay can only be used with a checking account. You must also enroll in Online Banking or the Mobile App to access Bill Pay.
