Save time and money
Whether you're sending retirement or Deferred Compensation Program payments, ePay is free, flexible and secure. Once you're signed up, all your automatic payment submissions are easy. And best of all, you can stop processing checks and spending money on envelopes and postage.
Take control
- Decide when to use ePay. Even after sign up, you may still mail us a check for any reason, any month you wish.
- Tell us when you want payments deducted and from which account.
- Set up an automatic pay date for up to six months in the future. If you're ever out of the office when a payment is due, ePay's got you covered.
- Reduce the chance for mailing errors. No lost checks!
