A Quick and Easy Guide to
GECU’s Bill Pay
If only allyour chores
were this easy!
Bill Pay from GECU… It’s Fast! It’s Easy! It’s Free! Bill Pay Is Safe!
Bill Pay is a free, secure
service from GECU that allows
you to conveniently pay your
bills online from any computer
in a matter of minutes. Pay
anyone, anytime, anywhere in
the U.S. – from mortgage
lenders to gardeners. You
have complete control of your
bills because you decide who
you’re going to pay, when to
pay, and how much to pay.
How safe is it? - Let’s put it this way: You’re more likely to win the lottery than to have the security of a Bill Pay transaction compromised. That’s because Bill Pay uses the highest standards of
encryption available.
It’s guaranteed - Your Bill Pay transactions are protected by the same laws that protect you from credit card fraud, limiting your liability to a maximum of $50 for unauthorized use of your account. You’re also protected from late charges if a bill is not paid properly due to our error.
