View Payments and Bills



What Can I Do?

 

You can view all payments and bills for the past 18 months on this page, including electronic bills and the bills that you pay automatically.

If a payment hasn't started processing, you can change or cancel it.

You can view the payment information by predefined date ranges. You can also enter your own range of dates and search for payments and bills by:

Bill and Payment Statuses

Bill History provides the status of the bill or payment.

Status Description
Pending The payment has not been processed yet.
Unapproved The payment requires approval before it can be processed.
Paid The payment has been processed. Normally, the biller receives the payment on the pay date and credits the account. Sometimes, however, the biller may take a few days to credit the account.
Canceled You canceled the payment for this bill.
Unpaid The electronic bill has not been paid using Business Bill Pay.
Filed You filed the electronic bill.

Searching for a Bill

You can view the bill payment history for the past 18 months (540 days).

Note: You may not have 18 months of bill payment history available in Business Bill Pay yet. The ability to store 18 months of bill history is a recent feature of Business Bill Pay, so it may take about a year to accumulate 18 months of bill history.
