Streamline Bill Payments with SECU’s Convenient Online System
As our lives get busier, keeping up with bills can feel like a tedious chore. Writing checks, buying stamps, remembering due dates – it takes time many of us don’t have. That’s why online bill pay through SECU offers a convenient solution for members. Their user-friendly system allows you to view, manage and pay bills right from your laptop or mobile device.
In this article I’ll walk through how SECU’s online bill pay works and key benefits that save you time and headaches. As an SECU member myself, I’ve found their online system invaluable for simplifying bill management.
Getting Started with SECU Bill Pay
To utilize SECU’s online bill pay system, you first need to be registered for online banking. This gives you access to all digital services, including bill pay. With online banking set up, log into your account and select “Bill Pay” from the menu.
You can add billers by searching their name or entering details manually. SECU has thousands of national and local companies in their database for easy lookup. After adding payees, schedule one-time or recurring payments using your SECU checking account.
Key Features of SECU Online Bill Pay
SECU packs their online bill pay with useful features that make managing bills a breeze:
- Schedule recurring payments so bills get paid automatically each month
- Receive eBills directly from companies like utilities and wireless carriers
- Pay by phone and text alerts to keep tabs on payments
- Make same day payments for urgent bills (for a small fee)
- Pay individuals like babysitters, friends and service providers
- Access payment history to track bills paid
Convenience of Paying from Anywhere
With SECU online bill pay, I can manage bills from my phone just as easily as my laptop. Their mobile app offers full bill pay functionality, allowing me to approve payments on-the-go. Whether I’m riding the bus to work or in line getting groceries, I can stay on top of bills through my phone.
Avoid Late Fees & Save on Postage
By scheduling recurring payments, I no longer miss bill due dates or accrue late fees. The system does the remembering for me by paying bills automatically each month. And not having to buy stamps and envelopes to mail payments helps me save money over time.
Peace of Mind with Payment Alerts
For added convenience, SECU lets you set up bill pay alerts by text or email. I have mine set to notify me when a payment is sent and when it clears my account. This confirmation gives me peace of mind that critical bills like my mortgage, utilities and insurance are paid on time.
Pay Individuals Securely
I occasionally hire local high school students for babysitting and yardwork. In the past, I paid them by check or awkwardly in cash. With SECU bill pay, I can securely pay individuals by entering their name, address and account details. No more fumbling for my checkbook or running to the ATM.
Control When & How Much is Paid
Unlike autopay through merchant sites, SECU gives me control over payment details. I decide which bills to pay through the system, when they are scheduled and amounts. I’ve had merchant autopay go wonky in the past and overdraft my account, so I feel safer managing everything through my credit union.
Easily Track Payment History
Within the online system, I can view past payments made to each biller. This helps me monitor when bills are paid and ensure funds are going out as expected. For taxes and budgeting, I can export the payment history into a spreadsheet.
Top-Notch Security Standards
SECU ensures all online transactions meet rigorous security protocols. Their systems are encrypted end-to-end and protected by dual-factor authentication. I never worry about the safety of paying bills through SECU like I do on some merchant sites.
Stellar Customer Support
Any time I’ve needed help with SECU’s online bill pay system, their customer service team assisted promptly and knowledgeably. They have extended hours plus live online chat for support when I need it.

If you want one place to conveniently manage all your payments, SECU offers the capabilities you need. Sign up today and say goodbye to piles of bills cluttering your home office!
