Bill Payment

Bill payments are implemented with invoice types, bill configuration, and bills. The invoice issuer (biller) configures the invoice type. A bill configuration is specific to both the consumer and the invoice type, which creates a personalized reference to the invoice type. The actual bills include the amount due and a reference number, which the biller provides.

• Bill Configuration
  The Bill Configuration option lists your current bill configurations, which are linked to invoice types that store default configuration data for the bills. A bill configuration includes at least one reference number, which the biller provides. The reference number identifies a consumer's account, for example, your account number at the electric company.
• Open Bills
  The Open Bills option displays a consumer's active bills, and money that other consumers are requesting. You can pay open bills with any of the payment instruments in your wallet. To pay an open bill, choose the payment instrument you want to use. After paying an open bill, it no longer appears in the list. You can also cancel an open bill at any time. Paid bills appear under Bill History.
• Pay Bill
  The Pay Bill option displays the bills that are set up under Bill Configuration. You can pay bills immediately, but you cannot set up future payments or edit a payment. To pay a bill, enter the reference number that is defined on the invoice, the amount to pay, and select the payment instrument. The payment is immediately removed from your payment instrument.
• Bill History
  Bill History displays bill payments, airtime topup transactions, and money requests. Each bill you have paid appears in Bill History. You can search for bills by month, date range, type, or status; all search parameters are optional.
