Mobile Banking users can either set up a biometric password upon their initial login, or skip through the prompt and set one up later. Whether or not biometrics are used, Mobile Banking also uses traditional passwords (combining letters/numbers/special characters) as an alternative login option.

Bill Pay FAQs
No, your current reoccurring bill payments will be converted to the upgraded bill pay service. However, any reoccurring account transfers or person to person transfers will need to be reestablished.
PLEASE NOTE: Converted recurring payments will be adjusted to “pay before,” which means any payment scheduled with a “send date” that falls on a weekend or holiday will be sent early on the prior business day.
Yes, you still be able to set up reoccurring payments and transfers.
PLEASE NOTE: Any reoccurring payments will be set to “pay before,” which means any payment scheduled with a “send date” that falls on a weekend or holiday will be sent early on the prior business day.
Payment methods could change. Some payees could move from electronic to check or vice versa. It is recommended that all bill pay users review their current bill payees and payment methods before scheduling any new payments and to ensure the bills are paid on time.
In the upgraded bill pay, payments are scheduled based on the send date (the day the payment is sent out). Payments are processed at 4:00pm EST each day. Payments must be scheduled prior to 4pm EST to be processed and sent for the current day.
Electronic payments are debited on the send date (the day the payment is sent out). If funds are not available when the payment attempts to process, the payment will not be sent and the status will be updated accordingly. You must reschedule the payment for it to be sent again.
Check payments are drawn off your account and do not debit until the check is cashed by the payee. If funds are not available when the check is cashed, it may be returned.
Inspire recommends that you take the following actions BEFORE the upgrade:
- Review your current bill payment payees. Delete any payees you are no longer making payments to or do not plan to use in the future.
- Make a list of any P2P (person-to-person) payees you may have. You will need to re-establish these payees after the upgrade.
- Make a list of any external A2A (account-to-account) transfers you may have. You will need to re-establish these payees after the upgrade.
- Schedule and pay any bills prior to 1/13/23 through 1/17/23. You will be unable to access the bill pay system during this time.
- If you will need more than 6 months of bill pay history, be sure to print or download the history from the current bill pay system prior to 2pm on 1/13/2023.
Inspire also recommends that you take the following actions AFTER the bill pay upgrade:
- It is very important to review all your bill pay information to ensure everything is accurate and complete.
- Review your list of payees for ON-HOLD or UNVERIFIED payees. These payees will need their address or payee information updated before you will be able to submit a payment to them.
- Review payees for updated payment methods. Payment methods could change. Some payees could move from electronic to check or vice versa.
No, if you currently do not use our bill pay service, no action is required by you and your accounts will not be affected.
