Personal CheckFree® Bill Payment

Your Bank of Alameda Online Banking service offers CheckFree® Bill Pay with eBill presentment and person-to-person payments.  With CheckFree®, you'll have access to these features:

• Fast, secure person-to-person payments. Our personal payment service enables you to send and receive money to those you know, or owe, in as little as one business day -- securely and electronically -- right from Online Bill Pay. All you need is their email address or mobile phone number!
• Search for vendors. Add new vendors simply by typing in the company name. If a match is found in CheckFree's database, the vendor's information will be added automatically. No more hunting down mailing addresses. Simply enter your account number and add the bills to be paid.
• Set up reminders. Never make a late payment again. When you set up reminders, you'll receive a message telling you when your payment is due.
• Pay from multiple checking accounts and choose which checking account to pay your bills from.
• Make recurring payments. Eliminate the hassle of paying your monthly bills by setting up recurring payments with the payee. This is a great option for payments that don't change from month to month - such as your car payment or mortgage.
• See it all at a glance! The Payment Center lets you make payments and view pending payments, recent payments and bill reminders all on the same screen.

To enroll, log into Online Banking, click on the account you want to be your primary "pay from" checking account, and click on the Bill Payment tab.  For more information, please visit our CheckFree® FAQs or watch our Personal CheckFree® Tutorial.

Text and eMail Alerts

Our Online Banking product includes Online Messenger – a simple, straightforward way to set up email or text alerts based on transaction activity.  There is no bank fee for this service, however your cell phone provider may impose a fee for incoming text messages or data usage. 

To receive text alerts instead of email alerts, select Text Alerts when you enroll in Mobile Banking and all the alerts you set up in Online Messenger wil be sent to the mobile phone you enroll.  If you have already enrolled in Mobile Banking without alerts and would like to turn the alert feature on, go to Options in Online Banking do the following:

1. Scroll down to the Mobile Banking section and click on Manage Devices
2. In the My Phones tab, click the drop-down next to your enrolled phone number, select "Change my Mobile Banking services", and click the Go button.
3. Check the Alerts box, click the Continue button, and then close the Mobile Banking window to return to Online Banking.
