Evolve Money – Online billpay service

Pay bills from Evolve’s list of payees, including mortgage, utilities, insurance and “store” credit card, e.g., Macy’s, Gap, Walmart (but NOT regular credit cards or store co-branded CC, like a Walmart Discover or BR Visa).

If a particular biller is not listed, you can try emailing Evolve to add it. They seem to respond quite quickly to inquiries, and they will ask you to send a copy of your bill. Some people have had success in seeing their billers added. The billers need to agree to be a part of some kind of Mastercard processing consortium, which may or may not work for you billers.

Daily dollar limits include:

$2,999.00 in payments, of which up to $999.00 may be funded by cash load packs
Individual bill pay dollar limits include:

$2,999.00 for a single bill funded by a debit card and/or credit card
$999.00 for a single bill funded by a cash load pack
Note: You cannot make more than $10,000 worth of payments per month for credit, debit, and cash load packs.

Monthly payment limits include:

4 payments per month per biller account number using a credit or debit card within the dollar limits listed above.
Unlimited number of payments per month per biller account number using a cash load pack within the dollar limits listed above.

Check with your bank whether they accept partial payments and payments made over a couple of days. (Paying over weekend might arrive on same day.) You will also want to be in touch with your bank the first month you do this to make sure that the payments don't automatically apply to principal, or that your automatic payment (if you have one) doesn't ALSO get taken out. Don't assume that your bank will handle everything perfectly without your involvement, and - especially the first month - make sure you have all payments in with a few days to spare at least so that they can sort it out without also having to worry that the payment will be late.

You can pay bills for no fee with REloadIt packs that can be purchased, Evolve Money credits and with a debit card from "major banks". There are reports that US Bank issued MGCs work fee free as well. Each card counts as one payment toward the four payment limit.

For a 3% fee you can pay with a Visa, MC and Discover CCs.

In the past there was a glitch and certain CCs did work. But after this was publicized, the glitch was closed. 

How
Sign up.
Add new bill.
Then pay with a ReLoadit packs, debit, prepaid(?) or Gift Card(?).

if you have to make 10 payments to the same payee right away i did not have a problem losing the 10 cents..
In NYC you can leave money in increments of .25  and use it for the munimeter.


Add on: I do the same pay amount to the same biller 10 or more minutes apart without any problem.

You can't store money in Evolve. You have to set up a bill (choose the payee, account number, etc...) and then choose the amount to pay toward the bill. It's only after that that you get to select your method of payment.

Pay $200, and then either pay the remaining $130 with another GC or pay that with traditional bill payment methods

No. Otherwise, none of us would have time to visit these forums.

Yes.

I dont like this answer

As all ppl lucky enough to get approved for visa version go scrambling to figure out how to pay when its not an option

So you paid a banana republic store card, not to be confused with the CC version.

A BR card is the store version.
A BR Visa is another story.

But as there is no way to select ether or lots of DDF'rs don't know of the difference (and for sure main site posts)

are you sure you want to advertise that you held info back from your legions of loyal DDFers? I understand that somethings need to be kept quiet so as not to kill it but why mention that you knew all along?

Once you post something online it's everywhere and then it's dead, just like the US/BA YQ glitch.
If you're not figuring basic things out on your own then it's your own fault.  I guarantee you that the major posters here all knew this.
