How do I forward bills to my Bluevine dashboard?

As a Bluevine Business Checking customer, you can set up a dedicated Bluevine bills inbox email address to easily forward bills in order to keep track, schedule, and pay your bills on time. 

Note: We will only accept emails forwarded from the Bluevine account administrator/owner and any authorized users/accountants listed on the account. At this time, we will not accept bills forwarded from a third party.  This feature is not available on the Bluevine mobile app.

This article outlines the steps you need to take to get started with email forwarding.
