What Can I Do? View bill detail Send a payment inquiry File an electronic bill Update a filed bill's details

You can view details about your bills, including the payment status, for the past 18 months. If you receive an electronic version of the bill, you can view the complete bill for up to six months. If the payment has already been processed and you have a problem with it, contact the biller or send us a payment inquiry.

Bill and Payment Statuses

The following statuses may appear on this page.

Notes and Memos

If you added a note, a memo, or both when you paid the bill, the information appears on this page.

A note contains descriptive information that you want to keep on file with the payment. The maximum length of a note is 256 characters. Business Bill Pay does not send the note to the biller with the payment.

A memo contains information that is printed on the memo line of a check that Business Bill Pay sends to the biller. The maximum length of a memo is 34 characters. You can only add a memo to payments that Business Bill Pay sends by check.

Sending a Payment Inquiry

3. Select the type of biller that you made the payment to.

Filing an Electronic Bill

You can file any electronic bill with a status of Unpaid or with a payment status of Canceled. You can specify that the bill either has been paid outside of Business Bill Pay (for example, by writing a check) or has not been paid (for example, the bill may have a zero or credit balance).

After you file the bill, you can make a payment to the biller using Business Bill Pay, but the payment won't be associated with the filed bill.

To file a bill:

1. Click File Bill.
   The File a Bill page opens.
2. In Payment Method, select the payment method for the bill.
   Tip: If you don't find the method you used to pay the bill in this list, select Other and provide a brief description of the payment method in the Bill Note box.
3. In Bill Note, type an optional note about the bill and its resolution. You can type a maximum of 80 characters.
4. Click File Bill.
   The bill is filed, and the Bill Detail page opens.
