Digital Banking Tools
Sascu bill pay replaces the stack of paper statements, the roll of stamps, and the calendar reminders with a single online interface that handles every outgoing payment. After signing into Sascu online banking, the bill pay module presents a list of your payees — utility providers, credit card issuers, insurance companies, service professionals — alongside the next scheduled payment for each. You can pay every bill individually, set up recurring payments that fire on a fixed schedule, or configure rules that automatically pay the minimum due or the full statement balance whenever an eBill arrives.
There is no monthly fee for Sascu bill pay on personal checking accounts. Business accounts include the same bill pay features as part of their standard business checking package. The service sends payments electronically whenever the payee accepts electronic transfers, and prints and mails a physical check for payees that do not — all handled on Sascu's side without any action from you.

Adding and Managing Payees
To add a payee, you need the payee's name, mailing address, and your account number with that payee — the same information printed on the payment stub of a paper bill. For larger companies and utilities, Sascu bill pay can often locate the payee in its database by name and ZIP code alone, auto-filling the mailing address and electronic payment routing information. Once a payee is saved, it remains in your payee list indefinitely and can be selected from a dropdown for any future payment. Editing a payee's address or account number takes effect immediately and applies to all pending and future payments assigned to that payee.
eBill Enrollment
eBills bring your actual statement — the amount due, the minimum payment, the breakdown of charges — directly into the Sascu bill pay interface. Instead of logging into a dozen separate utility, telecom, and credit card websites, you see every bill in one place. When an eBill arrives, the bill pay dashboard displays the due date, the statement balance, and the minimum payment, and you can choose to pay any amount up to the full balance with two clicks. eBill availability depends on whether the payee supports the service; most national utility providers, major credit card issuers, and large insurers participate. Enrollment is per payee and typically activates by the next billing cycle.
Payment Processing and Timing
Electronic payments are the default method and process within two to five business days. Sascu debits your account on the scheduled payment date, not before, so you retain use of your funds until the payment is actually sent. For payees that do not accept electronic transfers, Sascu prints and mails a physical check drawn on a Sascu operations account — your personal account number never appears on the mailed check — and the funds are debited when the check clears. You can set payment reminders that arrive by email or push notification a few days before each scheduled date, giving you time to adjust the amount or cancel if needed.
