Accessing Your Amegy Bank Account to Pay Bills Online

Opening your monthly bills and writing checks to pay them can feel tedious. Fortunately Amegy Bank offers a convenient online bill pay feature that streamlines the process. In this article we’ll walk through how to log in to your Amegy Bank account and use online bill pay.

Getting Started with Online Banking

To use Amegy Bank’s online bill pay system, you first need to have access to online banking. Here’s how to get set up:

• Visit the Amegy Bank website and click on “Sign In” at the top right. This will bring you to the login page.

• If you don’t already have online banking credentials you’ll need to enroll first. Click on “Enroll Now” and follow the steps to establish your username and password.

• Once enrolled, return to the login page and enter your username and password. Then click “Sign In.”

• The first time you log in, you may need to set up multifactor authentication by providing your phone number or email address. This adds an extra layer of security to your account access.

• After logging in, you’ll arrive at the online banking dashboard. This central hub allows you to view account balances, transaction history, transfer funds, and more.

Locating the Bill Pay Feature

Now that you’re logged into your Amegy Bank account, here’s how to find the bill pay option:

• On the left-side menu, click on “Payments.” This will open the payments hub.

• Under the “Bill Pay” section, click on “Pay Bills.” This launches the full bill pay experience.

If you don’t see bill pay as an option under payments, you may need to enroll first. Click on “Enroll in Bill Pay” and follow the prompts to activate the feature.

Setting Up Payees

With bill pay access, you can now set up the companies and individuals you want to pay. Here are the steps:

• From within the bill pay interface, click on “Manage Payees” in the top menu.

• Click on “Add Payee” to set up your first payment destination.

• Enter the payee name and payment details, like account number, phone number, or mailing address.

• Select whether the payee is a company/organization or an individual person.

• Choose the account you want payments to be deducted from.

• Click “Add Payee” when finished to save the information.

• Repeat these steps to add more payees to your list.

Once your payee list is established, paying bills is a breeze.

Scheduling One-Time or Recurring Payments

With your payees set up, you can now schedule payments as one-time or recurring:

• From the bill pay dashboard, click on “Make a Payment.”

• Select the payee from the drop-down menu that you want to pay.

• Enter the payment amount and date.

• Choose whether this will be a one-time payment, or set up a recurring schedule (e.g. monthly, weekly, etc).

• For recurring payments, you can pick the start date, end date, and frequency.

• Click “Schedule Payment” when done.

The payment will then be scheduled and processed on the date(s) specified. You can log in at any time to view, edit or cancel upcoming payments.
