What to Do When You Can’t Pay Your Sovereign Bill
Sovereign is a bank offering services for personal, business, corporate and government accounts. In addition to traditional banking like checking and savings accounts, customers can receive e-bills and pay bill through Sovereign bill pay.
How to Pay the Bill
Sovereign bill pay offers two options for customers wishing to make payments online. First, the customer can request an e-bill from participating companies. When the e-bill arrives, customers can click the bill details and choose to pay the bill from funds in a checking or savings account. The second option is to add a biller name and address to send bills.
- Pay online: You can pay your Sovereign bill online at http://www.sovereignbank.com/personal/forms/regional_prefs.asp?section=personal&refer=/utils/net_banking_logon.asp. You must have an account with Sovereign bank to pay bills online.
- Pay via e-bill: From your online account, click the bill pay tab and search for the biller you wish to receive e-bills from in the future. It can take up to two months for electronic bills to be delivered to your Sovereign bank online account. Once the e-bill arrives, you’ll receive email notification. From there, you can choose to pay the e-bill in full or send a portion of the payment. Sovereign bank is not responsible for late charges if the full bill amount is not sent by the due date.
- Pay via payment address: If your biller does not participate in the e-bill service, you can add the biller with the name, address and your account number. You will then send payments to the biller via check unless the company accepts electronic payments. E-bills and electronic payments are two different services.
