I-Payables lets you quickly and conveniently pay anyone online that you pay today by check.

• Pay any person or company in the United States, from your leasing company to your office suppliers.
• Schedule repeating payments, such as lease payments.
• Schedule single payments up to one year in advance. The only payments you cannot make through your bill payment service are court-ordered payments and state and federal tax payments.

There are two basic steps involved in using I-Payables to make online payments:

1. Set up your payees.
2. Schedule payments.

When you first begin using the service, set up your payee list by adding the payees to whom you want to make payments. Some payees can also send electronic bills (e-bills). You only need to add each payee once. When you make a payment, you specify the date that you want the payee to receive the payment. The earliest available payment date is four business days from today. I-Payables determines whether a payment is sent electronically or by check, based on whether the payee accepts electronic payments and other guidelines. If you are a Level 3 User, you can initiate a payment, which must then be approved by a user of higher authority before the payment can be scheduled and issued. After a payment is scheduled, it appears as Scheduled in Payment Activity. After the payment is processed, the status changes to Processed. The payee receives your payment on the payment date you specified and credits your account.

Note that there can be a delay between when the payee receives the payment and when the payee credits the payment to your account.

I-Payables uses several methods to ensure that your information is secure.

• Business User ID and Password: Your business user ID and password are unique identifiers that only you know. As long as you don't share your business user ID and password with anyone, no one can sign in to I-Payables as you.
• SSL: I-Payables uses SSL (secure sockets layer), which ensures that your connection and information are secure from outside inspection.
• Encryption: I-Payables uses 40-bit or 128-bit encryption (whichever your browser supports) to make your information unreadable as it passes over the Internet.
• Automatic Sign Out: In addition, I-Payables automatically signs you out of a session if you are inactive for a predefined number of minutes (usually 10 minutes). It is best if you sign out immediately after you are finished.

The Level 1 User is the only user who can cancel the service. On the Profile - Service Setup page, click Cancel Your Service at the bottom of the page. Before you cancel your service, keep in mind the following:

• Scheduled payments, including repeating payments, are not paid.
• Processing payments are paid.
• You no longer have access to your payment activity and you can no longer send payment inquiries. You should wait until all of your scheduled payments are processed before you cancel your service. If you let your scheduled payments process, then you won't have any outstanding payments that you can't view or inquire about after you cancel your service.
• Your payees are notified to stop sending e-bills. However, it can sometimes take a few days for the payee to process the request. Therefore, until you begin receiving paper bills again you should contact the payee directly about your payment amount and payment due date. Because you can't send your payment using I-Payables after you cancel your service, you should make your payment to the payee by some other means, such as a check.
• If you decide to use I-Payables again, you will have to re-enroll and set up your payee list.
