Bill Pay Certification Page 4 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance Separate Bill Pay Application? In April 2009, Intuit Financial Services released Internet Banking v4.10.2, which removed the need for consumers to fill out a separate bill pay application in order to have access to bill pay. However: Some consumers are still prompted to fill out a separate bill pay application if: the financial institution was live with bill pay prior to the IB release in April 2009: Consumers that had IB but did not have bill pay at the time of the release are still prompted to fill out a separate bill pay application when they decide that they would like to start using bill pay. This is because Intuit Financial Services did not create a bill pay eReg record for these consumers when the consumer originally submitted the IB Combined Enrollment registration form (for ARS clients, this is because Intuit Financial Services had not yet implemented the PIC screen for your consumers). the financial institution is converting to Intuit Financial Services: Consumers that were using the financial institution’s old (non-Intuit) IB but did not have bill pay are prompted to fill out a separate bill pay application. This only happens if, during conversion, Intuit Financial Services did not receive enough information to proactively create bill pay eReg records for these consumers.
Bill Pay Certification Page 5 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance Bill Pay Setup/Activation Overview Step 1: Consumers opt-in to bill pay one of the two following ways: a)If the financial institution has Standard, Standard-Hybrid, FIAT, FIAT-Hybrid, HAT, or HAT-Hybrid Internet Banking Registration - The consumer fills out the IB Combined Enrollment registration form with an option to opt-in to bill pay at the bottom of the form. b)If the financial institution has ARS Internet Banking Registration or the consumer opted-out of bill pay in Step 1a – The consumer can opt-in to bill pay by: 1.Accepting the Bill Pay Prompt that is presented to them upon logging in to Internet Banking (refer to the Resource page to learn how the financial institution can enable this prompt). 2.Clicking the “Bill Pay” button in the main navigation of Internet Banking. 3.Clicking a “Pay your bills” link next to any of their checking accounts in Internet Banking. Step 2: In order to send the bill pay eReg record to the bill payment processor, the system verifies that the consumer has a valid checking account to use for bill pay. Step 3: (Manual Approval Only): The financial institution reviews and approves the bill pay eReg record in the Management Console > Bill Pay Application Management. Step 4: The eReg record is sent to the bill payment processor for approval. If approved, the consumer is presented with the landing screen and receives an approval . If denied, the consumer is presented with either a “In Process” screen (FIS) or a “Bill Payment Declined” screen (Fiserv).
Bill Pay Certification Page 6 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance If the financial institution has Standard, Standard-Hybrid, FIAT, FIAT- Hybrid, HAT, or HAT-Hybrid Internet Banking Registration - The consumer fills out the IB Combined Enrollment registration form and opts in to bill pay. An Internet Banking (IB) record as well as a Bill Pay (BP) eReg record are created for the consumer in Management Console. Both records are processed and maintained separately. Tip: Please refer to your Internet Banking Registration materials for how the Internet Banking Registration process works for the financial institution. The bottom of the application allows the consumer to opt in or out of bill pay. Text is customizable by the financial institution. Step 1a: Opting In to Bill Pay
Bill Pay Certification Page 7 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance Step 1a: Create eReg Record If the financial institution has ARS Internet Banking Registration – this is the first screen seen by new consumers upon their first login to Internet Banking. The consumer selects a funding account (if necessary), accepts the bill pay disclosure, and clicks Continue. This creates an eReg record behind the scenes for the consumer so that when he/she chooses to enroll in bill pay (see next page), there is no need to fill out a bill pay application. Note: The form is pre-filled with as much information as the host can provide. If any required information is missing or needs changing, the consumer can edit/add information and then submit the form.

Section 2: Activation and Maintenance Step 1b: Opting In to Bill Pay If the financial institution has ARS Internet Banking Registration or the consumer opted-out of bill pay in Step 1a – The consumer can opt-in to bill pay by: Accepting the Bill Pay Prompt that is presented to them upon logging in to Internet Banking (refer to the Resource page to learn how the financial institution can enable this prompt). Clicking the “Bill Pay” button in the main navigation of Internet Banking.

Bill Pay Certification Page 9 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance Step 2: Funding Account Verification After the consumer opts in to bill pay, the system verifies that the consumer has a valid checking account to use for bill pay. It then sends the BP eReg record to the bill payment processor. The verification screens differ depending on the number of funding accounts the consumer has. The screens display to the consumer either upon their first login to IB (if they opted in to bill pay via the IB Combined Enrollment registration form) or immediately after accepting the Bill Pay Prompt or clicking the “Bill Pay” button or “Pay your bills” link inside of IB. If the consumer only has one checking account, the consumer is prompted to confirm the checking account. Note: This screen is skipped if the consumer had previously accepted the Terms & Conditions on the IB Combined Enrollment form.
Bill Pay Certification Page 10 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance If the consumer has more than one checking account: The consumer selects their funding account(s) on this Account Selection screen. The BP eReg record is sent to the bill payment processor for approval. Notes: The “Additional Accounts” fields display on screen upon the consumer checking the “I want to pay bills from more than one account” checkbox. The “Account Nickname” fields display and are required for FIS financial institutions. However, it is up to Fiserv financial institutions whether or not they would like to display and/or require the nickname fields. The Bill Payment Terms and Conditions checkbox and hyperlink appear if the consumer has not previously accepted the Terms and Conditions. The “I’ll do this later” button allows the consumer to skip the “Select Funding Account” screen and continue on to their Account Access screen. The consumer is re-presented with the “Select Funding Account” screen upon clicking the Bill Payment button in the navigation and the “I’ll do this later” button is replaced with a “Cancel” button. The financial institution’s navigation does not appear on these screens if this is the consumer’s initial login to IB. Step 2: Funding Account Verification (cont’d)
Bill Pay Certification Page 11 © 2012 Intuit Financial Services All rights reserved. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. Section 2: Activation and Maintenance Step 2: Funding Account Verification (cont’d) Note: If your host does not return an account list, the financial institution’s consumers are presented a screen that allows the consumer to manually input a primary account (and additional accounts if applicable). Check with your Project Manager to see if your host does not return account lists to Intuit Financial Services. If the consumer does not have any checking accounts, the consumer sees a screen stating they do not have a valid funding account. Note: Because the financial institution’s navigation does not display on this screen upon initial login, a “Continue” button allows the consumer to access their Internet Banking session.

Do NOT close any accounts using FIS' CST or Fiserv’s PartnerCare system. If you close an account using FIS' CST or Fiserv‘s PartnerCare system, you must disassociate the old Bill Pay ID from their user ID (see section on Maintain BP ID). If you do not, that consumer is not able to reapply for bill pay in the future at the financial institution. What to tell the consumer when you close their account: 1.The consumer should delete all pending payments before you close their account. ( Note: You can view pending payments through FIS' CST or Fiserv’s PartnerCare system to make sure they are all deleted. When an account is closed, pending payments are automatically deleted – this step helps remind consumers what they have pending.) 2.If the financial institution is charging for bill pay, tell the consumer that they are still billed for the entire month.
