Bill pay allows users to send payments or electronic checks to personal or business recipients called "payees." If bill pay is enabled at your financial institution, the bill pay option is available in the web or mobile Transfers screen.

iPay is an optional third-party vendor and the default bill pay provider for Narmi Banking; however, we also support Fiserv CheckFree and Paymentus. Other bill pay provider integrations should be discussed with your Narmi Relationship Manager to ensure all necessary functions and features can be incorporated into the Narmi Banking platform.

By default, every user will only have one funding account registered on iPay. This is the checking account submitted when enrolling the user in iPay and is also the user’s default funding account. Please contact your Narmi Relationship Manager for information on approving accounts in iPay.
