Step 2: Navigate to the Bill Payment Section
Once you're logged into your TD EasyWeb account, you'll need to find the bill payment section. TD's interface is generally user-friendly, but here's how to locate it:
Tip: Review key points when done.
From the main EasyWeb dashboard, look for a menu option related to "Payments" or "Bill Payments."
Typically, it's found under a main navigation tab or within a quick links section.
Click on "Pay Bills" or a similar option to proceed.
Step 3: Add a Payee
This is where you'll initiate the process of adding American Express as a new payee.
Within the Bill Payments section, you should see an option like "Add a Payee," "Manage Payees," or "Add new bill."
Click on this option. A new screen or pop-up window will appear, prompting you to search for the payee.
Step 4: Search for "American Express"
Now it's time to find American Express in TD's payee database.
In the search bar provided, type "American Express."
It's crucial to spell it correctly to ensure the best search results.
You might also see options for "Amex" or "American Express Canada." Select the option that clearly identifies American Express as the biller.
Important Note: Ensure you select the correct American Express option. There might be different options for various types of Amex products (e.g., credit cards, corporate cards). For personal credit cards, choose the general "American Express" option.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
Step 5: Enter Your American Express Account Number
This is a critical step where you link your specific American Express account to the payee you're adding.
Once you've selected "American Express" from the search results, you'll be prompted to enter your American Express account number.
This is typically a 15-digit number found on the front of your American Express credit card.
Double-check the account number carefully. Even a single incorrect digit can lead to your payment being misdirected.
You may also be asked to provide a "Payee Nickname." This is an optional field but highly recommended for easy identification in your list of payees (e.g., "Amex Gold Card" or "My Amex").
Step 6: Confirm and Review
Before finalizing the addition, TD EasyWeb will present you with a summary of the payee information you've entered.
Carefully review all the details: the payee name (American Express), and especially your American Express account number.
If everything looks correct, click "Confirm" or "Add Payee."
TD may require you to confirm the addition using a security measure, such as a one-time password sent to your phone or an answer to a security question.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Step 7: Make Your First Payment (Optional, but Recommended)
Now that American Express is added as a payee, you can make a payment immediately or at a later date.
To make a payment, navigate back to the "Pay Bills" section.
Select American Express from your list of payees.
Enter the amount you wish to pay.
Choose the TD account you want to pay from (e.g., Chequing, Savings).
Select the payment date. You can schedule a one-time payment or set up recurring payments if you wish.
Review the payment details and confirm.
Congratulations! You have successfully added American Express as a payee in your TD EasyWeb account. You can now conveniently manage and pay your American Express bills directly from your TD online banking.
