Online Bill Payment is a service from Edward Jones that enables you to pay virtually anyone using funds from your Edward Jones account.* Just tell us whom you want to pay, how much you want to pay them and when you want the funds to be sent.
To use online Bill Payment, you must have a single, joint, living trust, testamentary trust or sole proprietorship Edward Jones account with the Edward Jones Money Market Fund or the Insured Bank Deposit Program.**
To use online Bill Payment, you must first be enrolled in Online Access for 30 days. If you need faster-access bill payment services, please contact your branch office to initiate the enrollment process for you which will reduce the waiting period to 10 days. After completing the waiting period, you may log in to Online Access and access online Bill Payment from the "Pay Bills" button on the Banking page. There you will find a link for enrolling in online bill payment. You will select the account you want to pay bills from, read the Online Bill Payment Service Agreement and complete the online enrollment form.
Once your bill pay enrollment form has been approved, you can begin paying bills immediately.
Online Bill Payment is not the same type of service that other institutions often refer to as "automatic debit." With Bill Payment, you are in control of when your payments are made, rather than allowing billers to take the funds from your account automatically.
You can pay virtually anyone with a United States address using online Bill Payment. Whether it's your next-door neighbor or mortgage company, Edward Jones can pay your biller using funds from your account. Bill Payment cannot be used to make tax payments or court-ordered payments.***
Electronic bills are a way to receive your bills electronically, rather than by traditional mail. Some major billers, such as utility companies and credit cards, offer the ability to send your bills directly to online Bill Payment rather than sending a paper copy to your house. Most billers will send you an email notifying you a new bill has been sent to online Bill Payment. You can then log on to online Bill Payment, review your bill online and schedule your payment. You can opt to receive electronic bills from participating billers in the "Manage My Bills" section of Bill Payment. You can also sign up for the email notifications within Bill Payment.
Payments are made using an electronic funds transfer (EFT) at the biller's discretion. Other billers are paid using a paper check that will include your name and account number (if you have an account number with the biller).
The time it takes for a biller to receive your payment will vary based on the type of payment method used (electronic funds transfer or paper check). You should schedule your online bill payments at least five (5) business days prior to the due date on the bill. We are not responsible for mail delays.
Funds are generally withdrawn from your account one business day after the scheduled process date.
If your process date falls on a weekend or holiday, the process to send your payment will begin on the last business day prior to the scheduled process date.
If the month does not have 31 days, or if the 31st falls on a weekend, the process to send your payment will begin on the last business day prior to the scheduled process date.
Your online bill paymenst can be viewed in several locations. The "Recent Payments" or "Bill History" sections of Bill Payment show scheduled and completed payments from the past six months. They also show if the biller was paid using an electronic funds transfer or a paper check. Online bill payments will also appear in the "Activity" section of Online Access and on your monthly/quarterly statement from Edward Jones.
There is a $1 minimum and a $100,000 maximum dollar amount that can be paid using online Bill Payment.
