It’s much better than writing a check!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

    Set Up an Account and Add E-Bills

  1. Step 1

    Go to www.mycheckfree.com.

  2. Step 2

    Click on the red arrow that says “Go, Scout! Enroll” to set up an account. You will be asked to enter some information like your name, e-mail address, phone number, bank account number and the bank’s routing number.

  3. Step 3

    Click “Add e-Bills” on the left side of the screen to set up your bills once you have created your account and logged in.

  4. Step 4

    Choose the bills that you want to set up on the “Select Your e-Bills” page. The site will automatically bring up some bills that you might have, or you can use the local and national bills list to add your bills.

  5. Step 5

    Click on the bill that you want and click "Add." Repeat this step until you’ve added all of your bills to the list. If you’re lucky, all of the bills that you have each month will be listed. If not, this site is still a good place to go to pay three or more bills all at once.

  6. Step 6

    Make sure that you have all of your account numbers for the bills handy. You will have to enter this information to set up the bill.

  7. Step 7

    Click "Continue" when you’ve added all of your e-bills. You will be asked to enter your account numbers and some other information, depending on the bill. Click "Add" once you have set up all of your e-bills.

  8. Pay Your Bills

  9. Step 1

    Check your email regularly. MyCheckFree.com will email you as soon as you have an e-bill ready to pay.

  10. Step 2

    Log in to your account. The bills that you have added will be listed on the main page. Under each bill, it will say if it is available to be paid, if it has been paid or if the site is waiting for information on the bill.

  11. Step 3

    Click "Pay" to pay the bill. It will tell you the bill’s due date and amount due, but you can enter any date on which you wish to pay the bill and a different amount to pay. Click "Continue."

  12. Step 4

    Confirm your payment information and click the red button that says “CheckFree” to send the payment. The payment will be deducted from your bank account on the date that you selected.
