Bill Pay Upgrade

A new and improved Bill Pay experience is here!

At Jovia, our goal is to provide a brighter banking experience for our members, like you! That’s why we upgraded Bill Pay.

On this page, you will find information regarding what changed and how to navigate the new system.

What is Bill Pay?

Bill Pay, located in Online and Mobile Banking, makes it easy and convenient to pay a bill and send funds to businesses and people.

Bill Pay is a free service that gives you control over who you pay and when you pay. Use it to pay rent, a phone bill, or even a gift to a friend! With Bill Pay, you can set up one-time or scheduled payments, so you can stay up-to-date on your bills!

You can also access eBills through Bill Pay. eBills allow you to log in to an online account for a third-party website from within the Bill Pay system so Bill Pay can retrieve your billing information. For example, you can use your account login information for your satellite TV provider so Bill Pay can automatically retrieve your monthly bill amount and due date within Jovia's Bill Pay platform and pay the bill for you.

What changed with the upgrade

Easy-to-use interface

Enjoy a consistent experience across online and mobile banking. All Bill Pay options are now available in both online banking and our mobile app, with a consistent look and feel in both places.

Enhanced Management

Create groups for your billers/payees to simplify payments.

Adjustments to when funds are taken out of your account

With the new system, funds for electronic payments will be deducted on the day the payment is sent. You will need to ensure you have enough funds available before scheduling payments.

4 PM cutoff time (Monday-Friday, except holidays)

Electronic payments set up before this 4 PM cutoff time can be scheduled for delivery the next business day.

Automatic Payment Adjustments

Payments may shift from paper checks to electronic where possible to speed up processing.

External Transfer on Mobile Banking

What you will need to do after the upgrade

1. Accept new terms and conditions.

After the Bill Pay upgrade is complete and you access digital banking, you will be prompted to agree to new terms and conditions.

2. Re-set up your eBills in the new Bill Pay system beginning on 1/27/25.
3. Review your scheduled Bill Payments.
  • The upgraded Bill Pay system will attempt to determine if a biller/payee can receive payments electronically instead of by paper check to speed up processing.
    • Some payments that were previously sent electronically may change to paper check. As a result, this could extend processing times. Please be sure to double check your payments after the new Bill Payment system is available to ensure your payments are scheduled to go out in a timely fashion.
    • If the system finds the biller's/payee's electronic payment information, it will automatically switch the biller/payee to receive electronic payments. This results in a courtesy email letting you know that the payment type has changed for the biller/payee. No action is required on your part.
  • With the new Bill Pay system, electronic payment funds are taken out of the funding account on the day the payment is sent, so be sure to have sufficient funds in your account before scheduling a payment to be sent.
    • Previously, funds for electronic Bill Pay payments were not taken out of the funding account until one to two days after the payment was sent.
    • Funds for check payments will be taken out of the sending account when the recipient deposits the check.
