Creating a payee within Bill Pay
A payee is the person or business you are sending money to, such as a utility company, credit card provider, or service vendor.
If you make regular payments to the same company, setting them up as a payee can save time and make future payments faster and easier.
How to Add a Payee

On mobile, tap the menu icon, then select Add Payee
Step 2: Find Your Payee
A list of commonly used payees will appear. You can:
