How do I pay a bill with my credit card?

Bluevine’s Payments gives you the option to pay vendors using your credit card funds to send them an ACH transfer, a wire payment, or a physical check. This feature means you can use your credit card to pay vendors that don't typically accept credit card payments¹. 

How to set up Bill Pay with your Credit Card

Adding Your Credit Card to External Accounts

Before you can use your credit card as a Pay from option within the Payments feature, you’ll need to add your credit card to your external accounts.

1. Log into your Bluevine Dashboard.²
2. Click External Accounts and then Cards located on the left-hand toolbar.  
3. Click Add Card, and a small pop-up window will appear.
4. Input the requested credit card information.³
5. Use the drop-down menu to select the billing address or manually add the billing address. 
6. Double-check to ensure you’ve input the correct information and then select Add Card, located on the bottom-right of the pop-up window.

Verifying your Credit Card

To verify the credit card, you’ll be required to locate two micro-charges to the credit card from Bluevine. Bluevine will reverse the micro-charges from BV*Temp within 48 hours.

1. Review the transaction activity history for the credit card you are verifying.⁴
2. Locate the two micro-charges from BV*Temp within your credit card transaction history
3. Document the amounts of the two micro-charges.
4. Navigate back to your Bluevine Dashboard. 
5. Input the micro-charge amounts into the two open fields.
6. Before selecting Verify Card, double-check that the amounts you inputted reflect the micro-charges within your credit card transaction history. If you have several attempts of inputting the incorrect amounts, you will receive an error message and will be required to restart the verification process.
7. Click Verify Card.
8. If the credit card verification was successful, you will receive a message confirming that the credit card has been added to your external accounts. Additionally, you’ll receive an email notification.
9. Navigate to External Accounts then to Cards to view the newly added credit card.
1. Once you’ve added the credit card to your external accounts, you can only edit the billing address. If you need to edit additional credit card information, first delete the card with the incorrect information and then follow this process again with the new information.

Using Your Credit Card for Bill Pay

Once your credit card has been added to your external accounts, you can use it as a Pay from option within the Payments feature.⁵ Create a new payment, select the credit card as the Pay from option, or edit an existing payment by selecting the credit card as the option.
