Yes. You must be a BB&T OnLine client and have Quicken or QuickBooks software installed on your computer. You can then use the software to download your account information, transfer funds, and pay bills. Please note that there may be a monthly access fee associated with using these additional products.
Click the Enroll link, located above the User ID box on the left hand side of the BB&T home page. You will need your ATM or Check Card along with your Social Security number or a valid BB&T account number (ex. Mortgage, Car Loan, Credit Card, MyLink, Ready Access, etc.). Follow the prompts for a quick enrollment that should take you less than five minutes. When your enrollment is complete and you have been approved, you will have immediate access to BB&T OnLine and free Online Bill Payment.
If you forget your password, you can reset it online by clicking the Forgot Password link in the Logon box on the BB&T home page. You will need to have the following information available: ATM or Check Card, PIN, ZIP code, and your BB&T OnLine user ID. If you prefer, you may call Customer Service at 888-BBT-ONLINE (888-228-6654).
If you forget your user ID, please contact Customer Service at 888-BBT-ONLINE (888-228-6654).
If you wish to change your password or user ID, please log on to BB&T OnLine and select the Change User ID/Password option on the Customer Service tab.
Yes. Ensuring the security of your personal information online is a top priority for BB&T. The instant you log on to BB&T OnLine, before your user ID and password leave your computer, we encrypt them both using 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This security ensures that only BB&T has access to your account information.
To further protect your privacy while you are using the service, we will automatically log you out of Online Banking after several minutes of inactivity
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. This technology allows users to establish sessions with Internet sites that are secure, meaning they have minimal risk of external violation. Once inside the BB&T OnLine, you are secure through our use of SSL technology.
Encryption is the scrambling of information for transmission back and forth between two points. A key is required to decode the information. When you request information about your accounts, the request is encrypted and sent to BB&T. We then decode your request for information and send it back to you in an encrypted format. When you receive it, your information is decoded so you can read it. Because your account information is being transmitted between you and BB&T, encryption protects your account information so it cannot be intercepted and read by a third party.
It is very important that you properly and securely end each Online Banking session by clicking the Logoff button at the top right of the screen. Logging off is the only way BB&T OnLine knows you have ended your session. If you leave without properly logging off - by going directly to another website, for example - and then leave your computer unattended, someone else could access your computer and return to your banking session. At that point, they would have access to your personal account information and could initiate transactions as if they were you.
If you forget your BB&T OnLine password, you can reset it from the BB&T logon page by clicking Locked Out/Forgot Password.
If you forget your user ID, please call Customer Service at 888-BBT-ONLINE (888-228-6654).

Pending transactions reflect transaction activity and holds affecting your available balance. Transactions in this section include both debits and credits. Some pending deposit amounts may include funds that are being held. Some pending debits may reflect a merchant hold on your account, which may or may not be the final amount posted to your account.
Some merchants request an authorization for a "general" amount or an amount they estimate you will spend (for example, including a gratuity on a restaurant authorization different from the amount of the tip you leave). The amount authorized can be higher or lower than the actual amount of the transaction. A merchant authorization shows as a "pending transaction" and places a "hold" on funds in your account, affecting your available balance. When the transaction posts, your account is charged the actual amount of the transaction and the authorization/hold goes away. Examples include:
- Restaurant or Salon - An authorization is requested prior to a tip being added. Some merchants will estimate a tip amount in the authorization causing your pending amount to differ from the actual amount you spent. The final purchase amount posted to your account will include the actual tip you included.
- Pay-at-the-Pump - An authorization is requested prior to dispensing fuel. Most pay-at-the-pump gas purchases are initially authorized for $1. Only the actual amount of the purchase will post to your account.
- Hotel/Cruise/Car Rental - An authorization in the amount equal to the entire stay plus an estimated amount for incidentals may be made. This can also be true for car rentals and cruise lines, which may include deposits and/or other fees.
Certain transactions, such as ATM or Check Card PIN-based transactions, will roll up into a single, summary item. For example, you made the following purchases using your Check Card and entering your PIN:
- Grocery store $43.00
- Car wash $15.00
- Pharmacy $25.00
In your pending transaction data, you would see: ATM/PIN/Electronic - Debits: $83.00
Your available balance is the amount you have to draw upon less any holds. This includes any pending deposits, purchases, and withdrawals less holds on your account, i.e., pending ATM deposits only have $100 of the deposit immediately available. Most pending transactions will post to your account within 24 to 48 hours.
At this time, pending transactions are provided for checking and savings accounts.

If you transfer the exact amount due for the current payment, your principal and interest account will be credited in the same amounts as if you had mailed in a check.
If the transfer amount is less than a regular payment amount, and the payment is due for the next month, the funds will post as a reduction of the principal amount.
If you transfer more than the current payment due, the funds will be credited in one of two ways.
If the transfer is for more than the regular payment amount but less than two payments, it will post as a regular payment. Any fees that are due will be paid, and the remaining amount will be credited toward reducing the principal amount.
If the transfer is double or more than the regular payment amount, it may post as two payments. Any amount over the sum of two regular payments will first go to pay off any fees that are due and up to $5,000 will be counted towards reducing the principal amount. Any amount over $5,000 will be held in a suspense account.
Online Bill Payment is free to all BB&T clients. Depending on your account, you may incur a service fee if you choose to access your accounts online through Quicken or Quickbooks. Monthly fees are outlined in the chart below:

Online Bill Payment is a free service that is automatically included with BB&T OnLine. You may use the bill payment service through BB&T OnLine, Quicken, QuickBooks, or Microsoft Money.
Your bill payments will be sent to payees you designate in the form of either a paper check or an electronic funds transfer. All payments made through Online Bill Payment are covered by our Online Bill Payment Guarantee.
To use Online Bill Payment, you must first create a list of payees - the individuals and organizations to which you plan to send payments. You will then schedule payments to them by choosing the date you want your payment to be sent, also known as the processing date. Your payment will be delivered within five business days of your processing date, if it is sent by check; within two business days if the payee accepts electronic payments; and on the next business day if the payment is made to BB&T.
For electronic payments, funded by a BB&T deposit account, funds from your account are "held" two days before the delivery date to allow for processing. The hold reduces your available balance by the amount of the payment. The funds for your payment must be available on the processing date. However, the funds are not actually withdrawn from your account until two days later, after 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the payment delivery date.
For check payments, funded by a BB&T deposit account, no funds are held, and your available balance is not reduced on the payment processing date. It is not until the check actually posts to your account that funds are withdrawn. The funds withdrawal date will vary depending on when your payee deposits the check payment. Although funds are not held when your paper-check payment is processed, sufficient funds must be available in your account on the processing date for your payment to process.
For payments funded by a MyLink Card or Ready Access card, either electronically or in the form of paper drafts, funds will be withdrawn from your account on the processing date.
After BB&T processes your payment, your Payment History section in Bill Payment is updated. Your payment history provides all the details about your payment, including the payment status. The status of a processed payment will display as "processed." If you deleted a payment prior to processing, or a payment could not be processed due to nonsufficient funds, the status will display as "cancelled." Information about the payment method (electronic transfer or paper check) is available in the Details section.
To review your payment details after a payment has been processed, see your Payment History section in Bill Payment. Your payment history automatically shows the past 30 days of activity. You may also search for payments to a specific payee, from a specific account, or during a specific time period. Your history displays the date sent, account debited, payee name, amount, status, and details. Payment details include the payment method: electronic or paper-check.
The Payment History section within BB&T OnLine Bill Payment allows you to view any bill payment that has been processed in the last 24 months. For access to bill payment information older than 24 months, please call
888-BBT-ONLINE (888-228-6654).
BB&T utilizes the fastest means possible to deliver your payments. If your payee accepts electronic payments, we send your payment by electronic transfer. Electronic payments take 2 days to process and deliver. If your payee does not accept electronic payments, we generate a paper check on your behalf and mail it. Processing and delivery of paper checks takes 5 days.
Yes. Because BB&T wants to deliver your payment as quickly as possible, we continue to establish new electronic connections to payees. Periodically, you may notice that a paper-check payee converts to an electronic payee. Occasionally, an electronic payee may convert to a paper-check payee.
Yes. There will be no change to the account features you currently enjoy, if you access your account information through BB&T OnLine.
BB&T will make the first $100 of a pending deposit available immediately for online bill payments, provided that the deposit is made at a BB&T branch location prior to 2:00 p.m. or before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time at a BB&T ATM. The amount available could be less than $100 if ATM or BB&T Check Card withdrawals were made during the day of the deposit. The full amount of your deposit will not be available for online bill payments until the deposit transaction has been posted to your account and is reflected in your current balance.
A payee can be any company, agency, organization or individual with an address that includes a valid U.S. Postal Service ZIP code, including APO/FPO (military) addresses.
Payments can be scheduled up to one year in advance.
Payments can be in any amount up to $100,000.
You may have as many payees as you like. There is no limit to the number of individuals or organizations you may add to your payee list.
You may begin making payments immediately.
There is no limit to the number of payments you may schedule per month.
Payee information can be easily updated. We recommend that you verify your payee information regularly. Paper-check bill payments that are delivered to an incorrect mailing address will be returned to the account holder's mailing address. If this happens, please update the payee's address and schedule a new payment.
You may add, remove or edit payees on your list anytime and as often as you wish.
For BB&T deposit accounts, bill payments processed as paper checks are available as check images in your online account history, which you can review through Online Banking.
Check images will not be available for bill payments funded by a MyLink card or Ready Access card through OnLine Banking. If you require a copy of a bill payment check, please call 888-BBT-ONLINE (888-228-6654). Fees for check copies may be applied to your account.
Our paper-check bill payments are printed by a third party. These checks appear different from your normal checks to help distinguish them from checks you write yourself. All bill payment check numbers are six digits, starting with the two-digit prefix "98". Bill payment check numbers are not sequential.
For payments funded by a BB&T deposit account, the name and address of the account holder is printed on each paper–check bill payment as the payor. The payee name and address printed on a paper check matches the payee name and address information you entered in BB&T OnLine Bill Payment.
For payments funded by a MyLink card or Ready Access card, BB&T will be printed on each paper–check bill payment as the payor. If the payment is returned to BB&T, BB&T will contact the client to determine how to resolve the situation. The address printed on the paper–check is as follows:
5075 BB&T Operations
PO Box 619
Wilson, NC 27893

As long as the conditions are met for the
Online Bill Payment Guarantee, BB&T will reimburse you for any late fees or interest penalties. For payments not received, BB&T will stop the payment and refund your account until posting information has been received and verified. You will also receive provisional credit until posting information has been received and verified.
