With Bill Pay, you can:
Make Person-to-Person payments through PayPal.
Send money instantly from your bank account to almost anyone with an e-mail address or mobile number. The sender does not need to have a PayPal account in order to send funds. The person to whom you've sent the money will be notified by e-mail, text message, or phone to log in to PayPal to withdraw the money or spend it online. If that person doesn't have a PayPal account, he or she can sign up for one. It's quick and easy!
The recipient can request the funds to stay in a PayPal account, be credited to a bank account, or request that a check be sent.
Send money to a bank account.
Funds are sent by an electronic transfer and are credited to the bank account of your choice. The bank account may belong to a friend, relative, or belong to you at a different financial institution. As long as you know the account number and routing number of the bank account, you can send money with an electronic transfer. Electronic transfer payments usually post in 1-2 business days.
Request Expedited Payments.
You may expedite a payment by overnight mail. Fee applies.
Retain up to two years (24 months) of Bill Payment history.

Fact Sheet
Payment Processing
The cut-off time for next business day electronic payment processing is 2:00 p.m. MT.
In some instances, payments to certain payees may take slightly longer to process. Longer payment processing may occur when a payment is processed as a paper check. Check payments normally take four (4) business days to reach the payee. A check payment will clear your account after the payee's financial institution has processed the check.
To determine how long a payment will take to reach the payee, click on the payee name and review the number of business days stated for the payment to arrive. Electronic payments generally process the next business day, if scheduled before 2:00 p.m. MT.
Many payees are electronic and next business day payments can be made if the payment is scheduled before 2:00 p.m. MT. However, if you need to quickly pay an individual or business that is not paid electronically, schedule an Expedited Payment. This check payment will be sent by overnight mail to reach the payee quickly. A fee applies for an Expedited Payment.
An electronic payment will clear your checking account on the day you choose the bill to be paid. That can be as quick as the next business day if the payee accepts electronic payments and the payment request is submitted before 2:00 p.m. MT. A check payment will clear your account after the payee's financial institution has processed this check.
Bill Pay check payments start with the number series 9000.
Recurring Payments
If you have an automatic payment set up with a final amount that differs from the regular payment amount, please review your FINAL automatic payment amount before sending.
Bill Pay allows only one recurring payment per payee with the same payee account number. For instance, two recurring payments are set up to make a payment to a credit card, account number xxx123. One recurring payment is scheduled for payment to be received on the 1st of every month. The second recurring payment is scheduled for payment to be received on the 15th of every month. Bill Pay will not allow this because there are two scheduled recurring payments and both payments are going to the same account number.
E-Bills
An E-Bill is an electronic version of your bill that you can view inside Bill Pay and pay immediately.
To set up E-Bills in Bill Pay, click on Set up E-Bills, then follow the instructions.
Bill Pay History
Bill Pay will accrue payment history up to two years (24 months).
Send Money Instantly to Anyone (Person-to-Person)
Send money from your banking account to almost anyone with an e-mail address or mobile number (powered by PayPal). Or send funds electronically to yourself or others at a different financial institution, as long as you know the financial institution's routing number and the receiver's account number.
