Abstract
An automatic billing enrollment (ABE) computing device and methods for automatically enrolling a merchant in a bill paying application are provided. The ABE computing device receives a payment transaction associated with a cardholder account, identifies a merchant associated with the payment transaction, and determines whether the merchant is enrolled with a bill pay application associated with the cardholder account by performing a database lookup of enrolled merchants. The ABE computing device then transmits a message to a user device associated with the cardholder account indicating that the identified merchant is not enrolled by the cardholder with the bill pay application and includes an option for the cardholder to enroll the merchant. To enroll the merchant, the ABE computing device determines merchant-associated data elements required by the bill pay application to enroll the merchant, retrieves the data elements, and inputs the data elements into the bill pay application.
