Online Bill Payment Service
Pay for your FundScrip orders from your online banking website. Just add “FundScrip” as a payee, and then pay for your FundScrip orders as you would pay any other bill. Amazingly, there are no fees or deductions to donations for using this payment method.
How does Online Bill Payment Service work?
- Place your order on the FundScrip ordering site, selecting “Online Bill Payment Service” as the payment method
- Login to your financial institution’s online banking website*
- (First time only) Add “FundScrip” as a Payee using the 16-digit account ID provided by FundScrip during the ordering process
- Make a payment to FundScrip in the exact amount of your balance owing
* Be sure to make your payment at least three (3) business days before the Group’s order deadline or your order will not be processed on time to be shipped with your Group’s batch.
Please note that FundScrip automatically applies your payment once received, and then automatically begins processing. See the FAQ below for what happens when the amount received doesn’t correspond exactly to the amount owing.
