Add a Bill

What Can I Do? Add a company Add a person to pay

To pay bills online, simply add the companies and people you want to pay. You can pay anyone in the United States that you would normally pay by check or automatic debit.

Even if you don't receive bills from the company or person you want to pay, you can still add the information we use to make payments.

After you add the company or person to pay, the information appears in the Pay Bills section of the Payment Center. The company or person remains in the list of bills until you delete the biller. When you pay bills, you simply find the bill you want to pay and enter the amount and date for the payment.

Tip: If you have a recent bill or invoice from the biller, have it on hand when you add the bill. Use it to find the account number, the biller's phone number, and other information you may need.

Note: Remember to keep the biller information updated. If the name, address, phone number, or account number changes, go to Manage My Bills and make the appropriate updates to ensure that the bill information is accurate.

To go to Add a Bill:

• Click Add a Bill on any page.
  The Quick Add a Company or Person to Pay page opens.

Adding a Company

To add a company to your list of bills, you can enter:

• The company's name, and we search our records to find the rest of the information we need to make payments.
• All the information we need to make payments: the company's name, address, phone number, and your account number.

If you have an account number, please be sure to enter it. Your account number is the most reliable means to ensure that the company can credit your payments properly. If you don't have an account with the company you want to pay, you can still add the information that we use to make payments. The biller receives a payment with the business name and address information.

If your account information is not correct, it may cause the payment to be credited to your account late or not at all. This can result in late fees, finance charges, or service disconnections. The Service Guarantee only applies to payments if all the biller information provided is accurate.

When you add a company, you may be able to add an electronic version of the bill, which is also called an e-bill. An electronic bill typically contains the same information as the printed bill that is mailed to you, but you receive electronic bills through AmericanBank Business Bill Pay. Some billers can also send you an electronic bill through email.
