Just make him a payee as you would any other bill you pay online through your bank.
I'm looking at that in Billpay but the info that's being asked is unclear.
Seems like they want his first name and last name, city/state/zip, home address?? And then there's a field for account number with instructions as if it's a bill payee rather than an individual-- wouldn't you think they'd want the bank name and the routing number?
Unfortunately no BoA customer service until Monday.
No, if it's like most banks, they just need his name and address. The account number they're asking for is yours if you have a account with that payee. You don't (I'm assuming), so you can either ignore it or put n/a in that field. They don't need his bank info because they're just going to send him a paper check probably. But since it will originate from the bank it seems to carry a little more weight with the recipient. At least that's been my experience on the one or two occasions I have to pay someone that way.
Thanks.
