| How To See Scheduled Payments On Bank Of America App |
Step 1: Embark on Your Digital Banking Journey – Log In to the Mobile App
First things first! To access your scheduled payments, you'll need to open the Bank of America Mobile Banking app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Open the App: Locate the blue Bank of America icon on your device's home screen or app drawer and tap it to launch the application.
- Log In Securely: You'll be prompted to enter your User ID and Passcode. For enhanced security and convenience, consider enabling Touch ID or Face ID if your device supports it and you haven't already. This allows for quick and secure access to your accounts.
- Pro Tip: If you've forgotten your User ID or Passcode, don't worry! There are "Forgot User ID" and "Forgot Passcode" links available on the login screen to help you recover your credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to the Heart of Your Payments – The "Pay & Transfer" Section
Once you're successfully logged in, you'll land on your account summary screen. This is your financial dashboard. From here, you need to find the "Pay & Transfer" section, which is your gateway to managing all types of transactions.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
- Locate "Pay & Transfer": Look for a menu option, typically at the bottom of the screen or accessible via a hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the corner. It's usually clearly labeled "Pay & Transfer" or similar. Tap on it.
Step 3: Unveiling Your Upcoming Bills – Accessing "Pay Bills"
Within the "Pay & Transfer" section, you'll find various payment options like Zelle®, Transfers, and Bill Pay. To see your scheduled payments, you'll want to focus on "Pay Bills."
- Select "Pay Bills": Tap on the "Pay Bills" option. This will take you to your Bill Pay dashboard, where you can manage your payees and scheduled payments.
Step 4: Reviewing Your Financial Roadmap – Exploring the Activity Tab
The Bill Pay section typically has a few tabs, such as "Payees," "Activity," or "History." Your scheduled payments reside under the "Activity" or "History" tab.
- Tap on "Activity" or "History": Look for a tab or section clearly labeled "Activity" or "History." This is where Bank of America displays all your past and upcoming payment activity.
- Identify Scheduled Payments: Within this tab, you should see a list of your bill payments. Scheduled payments will usually have a "Scheduled" status, or a future date associated with them. You'll be able to see details such as:
- Payee Name: Who you're paying.
- Amount: How much you're paying.
- Deliver By Date: The date the payment is scheduled to be delivered.
- Frequency: If it's a recurring payment (e.g., monthly, weekly).
Step 5: Diving Deeper (Optional) – Modifying or Canceling Payments
Seeing your scheduled payments is just the first step! The Bank of America app often allows you to manage these payments directly from this screen.
- Select a Payment: Tap on a specific scheduled payment to view more details.
- Modify or Cancel: Depending on the payment's status and type, you may see options to edit the amount, date, or frequency, or to cancel the payment entirely.
- Important Note: Always double-check the cutoff times for modifications or cancellations. Payments that are too close to their scheduled delivery date might not be editable or cancellable.
Step 6: Utilizing Your Virtual Assistant (Optional) – Asking Erica®
Bank of America's virtual financial assistant, Erica®, can also be a helpful tool for finding information about your scheduled payments.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
- Tap the Erica® Icon: Look for the Erica® icon (often a red flag or a circle with a waveform) typically found in the top right corner of the app.
- Ask Erica: You can type or speak commands like:
- "Show me my scheduled payments."
- "What bills are scheduled?"
- "Show me recurring payments."
- Erica® will then display relevant information or guide you to the correct section of the app.
