SinglePoint Business Bill Pay: 12,000+ American Billers

SinglePoint business bill pay is the single workflow for every recurring payable on the American invoice stack — the Internal Revenue Service, all 50 state departments of revenue, utilities, telecom, insurance carriers, payroll taxes and commercial landlords. One SinglePoint sign-in covers 12,000+ billers electronically and every remaining biller by paper cheque.

Payments process through ACH for electronic billers or by printed cheque for the rest. Batch upload handles hundreds of payees in a single file. Per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, bill-pay volume continues to shift electronic — SinglePoint rides that shift directly.

Tax Authorities

Internal Revenue Service via the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) — Form 941 quarterly payroll tax, Form 940 FUTA, Form 1040ES estimated tax. All 50 state departments of revenue covering corporate income, sales-and-use and state payroll withholding. Local municipal tax where supported. SinglePoint captures tax period and PIN per IRS rules.

Utilities

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), Consolidated Edison (ConEd), Commonwealth Edison (ComEd), Duke Energy, Dominion Energy, Southern Company, Xcel Energy, Puget Sound Energy and hundreds of regional electric, gas, water and sewer providers. Multi-location clients consolidate all site bills into one SinglePoint biller record per utility.

Telecommunications

AT&T, Verizon, Lumen (formerly CenturyLink), T-Mobile Business, Spectrum Enterprise, Comcast Business, Cox Communications, Frontier Communications and regional CLECs. SinglePoint matches account-number format for each carrier so payments post cleanly against the correct subscriber line.

Insurance, Leases & Other

Property, casualty and workers' compensation carriers; commercial landlords and REITs; equipment lessors; franchise fee administrators; benefits providers. Billers outside the directory receive a printed cheque by U.S. Postal Service — addressed, stamped and mailed by U.S. Bank on the originator's behalf.

Scheduled vs One-Time

One-time payments post once against a named biller. Scheduled payments run weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly or annually — SinglePoint auto-releases each occurrence on the set date, provided the funding account has cleared balance. Dual-control approval can be set once for the schedule template rather than per occurrence, reducing approval overhead for recurring payables.

Schedule edits (amount, date, method) carry forward to every future occurrence. Cancelled occurrences return to the approval queue with an audit-tagged cancellation event. SinglePoint email alerts notify initiators of upcoming releases, failed funding and biller rejections.

Batch Upload for High Volume

SinglePoint accepts CSV and NACHA-format batch uploads for originators with many payables per cycle. Common batch use cases include monthly rent rolls across multi-location operators, quarterly franchise fee disbursement, multi-site utility consolidation and annual tax-season tranche settlement. Each row is validated against the biller directory — rows destined for cheque workflow are tagged for the cheque print queue.

Batch approval applies to the entire file with one dual-control event. Detail rows remain visible to reconciliation downstream in transaction reporting.

Electronic vs Paper Cheque

Most directory billers accept electronic payments over ACH. The posting bank timestamps receipt and returns a confirmation to SinglePoint. For billers without an electronic receive path, SinglePoint prints a paper cheque, addresses it to the biller-specified mailing address and sends it via U.S. Postal Service. The originator's account debits on the day the cheque clears the receiving bank — not at issuance — preserving float the way a manual cheque run would.

Both methods appear in a single queue inside SinglePoint with clear method, posting estimate and confirmation fields. Clients typically see more than 80% electronic adoption by volume within 90 days of activation.
