EasyPay uses an address validation software to verify deliverable addresses against the USPS address database. If the address cannot be validated, you will be unable to add the biller. If the payment is to an individual, please use the Pay a Person tab to send your payment. If the payment is to a business, please contact us so we can request a review of the address. The validation software is updated every 30 days.
-
Your biller may not be available for electronic payments, but it is possible that EasyPay simply does not recognize the name. When adding a new biller, you may find them by typing their full name like “Knoxville Utility Board” instead of “KUB”. If you do not add the name as it exists in the EasyPay system, it will not be recognized for electronic payment.
-
You do not need to reschedule the payments. All billers transferred with a single record for the initial payment. The recurring series will show up with the second payment. You can identify a recurring scheduled payment on the Activity Tab by the recurring symbol.
-
If your payee is paid electronically, the mailing address of the payee will not be displayed.

If any of the payee’s information changed between the time you originally set up the payment and our enhancement to the system, it may have caused the payment to be sent as a check rather than electronically. To resolve this, you can re-enter the payee information using a recent statement to ensure that it is current and accurate. Be sure to use the remittance address.

Since the check is written just like you had written it from your checkbook, there is no way to verify when the payment will be taken from your account.
