**Tip:** If you have frequent repeating payments such as payroll or wires, you can set up a template, so each transaction is fast and simple. These templates automate your routine transactions by making a payment model with detailed directions established by an authorized user. Using templates reduces mistakes and saves you time on a regular basis.

You can sort your templates by name, transaction type, recipient, last paid date, and last paid amount by clicking the arrows next to the specific column.

Click the three dots to make a payment, edit, copy, or delete a template.
