Automate your monthly obligations so nothing slips through the cracks.
How SCU Bill Pay Streamlines Your Month
Log into online banking, navigate to Bill Pay, and add the companies or individuals you need to pay. Each payee is stored securely, so after the initial setup, paying a bill takes about thirty seconds flat.
You control the timing. Schedule a payment for today, pick a future date, or set it to repeat automatically. The system tells you the estimated delivery date before you confirm — no guessing whether a payment will arrive on time.
Recurring Payments Eliminate Late Fees
Fixed-amount bills like rent, insurance premiums, and car payments are ideal candidates for recurring payment schedules. Set the frequency — weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly — and the amount, and SCU bill pay handles the rest.
You will receive an email or push notification before each recurring payment processes, giving you a chance to review and cancel if your circumstances have changed. Adjustments to the amount, frequency, or end date can be made anytime from the dashboard.
Track Every Payment in One Place
Avoid logging into a dozen different websites to confirm your payments went through. The bill pay dashboard shows the status of every transaction: pending, in process, completed, or failed. Payment history is retained for 18 months and is searchable by payee name or date range.
E-Bills Cut Down on Paper Clutter
When you add a payee that supports electronic billing, you can enroll in e-bills directly through SCU bill pay. Instead of receiving a paper statement in the mail, the bill appears inside your dashboard with the exact amount and due date filled in — all you do is review and approve.
Many major utilities, telecom providers, and credit card issuers support e-bill delivery. Enrollment typically takes one billing cycle to activate. Once live, your dashboard displays upcoming e-bill due dates and amounts at a glance.

E-bill availability depends on the payee. Not all companies support electronic bill delivery. Standard bill pay features are available for all verified payees.
