Automatic Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Automatic Bill Pay (ABP) is designed to help make paying your bill more convenient and efficient. With ABP, you won’t have to worry about late payments due to your busy schedule or while you’re away from home. Your bill will be paid automatically by a direct debit (charge) to your bank account.

Questions Commonly Asked About Bill Pay
Q. How soon does my participation begin?
A. Confirmation usually takes only one billing cycle (approx. 4 weeks,) so continue to pay your bill as you normally would until you see your next bill confirming your participation. Please note on your next bill: ‘AFT – DO NOT PAY.’
Q. When does the money have to be in my bank account?
A. Approximately 10 days after the billing date. The amount your bank account will be charged is stated on each monthly bill. Your monthly bank statement will show the amount charged, the date of the transaction and the transaction amount. If there are insufficient funds in your bank account on the payment date, your bank will return the automatic payment. Just as if you had a check returned for insufficient funds, you may be penalized by both your bank and BSU.
Q. When do I deduct the billing amount from my check book?
A. To maximize efficiency, we recommend deducting the amount due immediately upon receiving your bill.
Q. What if I have questions about my bill amount?
A. Just call the number shown on your BSU bill and we will review the bill with you.
