To pay a bill (credit card bill, mortgage payment, car payment, whatever), log into your Serve account and click Pay Bills under the Pay & Transfer tab.
If you have never paid a bill in Serve, you will need to add a payee. To do so, click Pay a Bill.
If you are paying a credit card company, select business, type the name of the company, and click search. Make sure you select the right payee, look for the credit card company’s name and the word credit card in the name.
Enter a nickname for the payee and your account number. If you are paying a credit card bill, your account number is the 15-16 digit credit card number on the front of your card. Then click Save and Pay.
Enter the amount you want to pay and click Review.
Verify that the information looks correct, enter your Serve PIN, and click Submit.
Congratulations, you just paid a bill with Serve!

You can load either card at the Money Center (Customer Returns Center), at a cashier, or at a Money Center ATM (I haven’t tested this yet, but it should work. If not, see previous two suggestions).To summarize everything, here are all the facts you need to know as of today, April 22, 2014:
