Bill Pay Frequently Asked Questions

As of August 1, 2022, C1CU will be going LIVE with several changes to our systems. These changes were made to provide our members with modern and simple online services. The credit union is also streamlining operations between C1CU and GCU so we will all be working on the same systems in early 2023.

When will bill pay go offline?

Bill pay will be going offline on 7/25/22. Any previously scheduled payments will still process during this time. However, new transactions will be unavailable until 8/1/22.

Do I need to do anything on my bill pay for these changes to take place?

No, these changes will take place automatically. We recommend saving a copy of your transaction history and payees as a backup for your records.

Will all my payees still be set up in the new bill pay?

Yes, all payees will be transferring to Allied Payments (new system). The only exception to this is the P2P (Person to Person) and Pop Money payees. We will contact these members to let them know that these payment types will not be transferred over. here.

Can I still send person-to-person payments?

Yes, Person-to-Person payments will still be supported, and we will not charge any fees to send money to a person.

How do I send a person-to-person payment?

When sending a person money, you only need to know their email address or cell phone number. Once they accept your payment they can enter in the routing and account information (2-3 days to deposit) or debit card information (almost immediate credit). P2P = Only can send funds via Debit rails, no Credit Card.

Will my payments still be sent electronically?

Yes, most payments that are currently being sent electronically will continue as normal. The one change to these payments is that the payment will be debited from the member’s account on the “send on date”. They will be delivered to the payee on the “estimated delivery date”, usually 2 business days later.

Is it possible that any of my payments will be made by check?

Yes, you can expect that if you have payments sent by check today that they will continue as anticipated. Keep in mind that paper checks will not clear the member’s account until they are presented for payment.

Can I change my Check Payment Delivery date?

No, dates are set by USPS and provides Allied Payment delivery dates based on zip code.

How do I meet my due dates in this new system?

o For check payments, schedule payments at least 5 days in advance (this does not mean you pay your bill ahead of its due date, only that you schedule it to arrive by the due date), in order to give us enough time to process and mail the check.
o For electronic payments, schedule payments at least 2 days in advance.
o For rush payments, refer to the “Earliest Send On” and “Earliest Deliver By” dates.

Do I need to have funds in my account when I set up bill pay?

Yes, you need to have the funds in your account - you can set for a future date when you will have funds BUT the system cutoff time is 3pm. Which means if you try to set up a payment for the next day after 3pm and do not have the funds in your account it will not allow you to do so. The reason for this – after 3PM Allied Payments system operates as if it is the next day. (You will not be able to set up payments on Saturday, Sunday, and National Holidays)

How much history will carry over form our previous Bill Pay vendor?

We will carry over 12 months of payment history.

What is the Vault?

The Vault is like an electronic Safe Deposit Box. Members can save any document types and eBills are automatically saved. Note: Staff will not be able to see what is in the members Vault.
