Bulk bill payments are a way to pay many bills in one go instead of processing each one individually. You upload or create a single “bulk” file/list containing multiple bill payments (e.g. to different billers, for different amounts and due dates), and the system processes them together as a batch. This saves time, reduces manual entry, and helps ensure all scheduled bills are paid in a single workflow.

Before you process bulk bill payments, ensure you have:
