Identity authentication
PayFlex is concerned about keeping transactions and information secure. We take steps to authenticate your identity. These steps help prevent fraud and help protect transactions. These steps may include asking you to answer questions in an interactive session. This helps us verify your information and identity.
Paperless document delivery, electronic notices, records and signatures
By registering for and using PayFlex Online, you agree to "paperless document delivery." This will help decrease the paper you get by mail. You will simply get your PayFlex documents online. You can find them under Documents & Forms. This includes but is not limited to account notices and financial information. We may provide you with electronic notification for these documents. This Agreement confirms you agree to access and review them promptly. When you have a new document to view online, we’ll send an email to the address you provided. Your agreement to paperless document delivery will be in place unless you revoke it within your Account Settings online. You will find the paperless option in Account notifications.

You will receive general account information by first class U.S. mail to the mailing address you provided. Once you revoke your agreement to paperless document delivery you may still receive some standard account information by email. This standard information won’t require your prompt access and review. When we send an email to your email address, it constitutes delivery to you of the information or documents referred to in the email. This is true even if you do not actually access the information or documents online.
You agree to inform us if your email address changes and to provide us with your new email address.
To the extent allowed by law, you also agree that any notice or communication from us to you, including any disclosures or other information required to be delivered in writing under applicable law, may be delivered to you in electronic form at your email address as reflected in our then current records, and that such electronic communication shall be in lieu of written communication. This includes delivery of change-in-terms notices affecting your use of PayFlex Online. Delivery may be by electronic message or by posting online. We encourage you to print or save all communications and notices, whether you receive them by electronic message or on this website. A message posted to your account online will alert you when a new notice is available. Notices or disclosures required by federal law will remain available online for at least 90 calendar days. You may request a paper copy of electronic notices required by federal regulations within 60 calendar days of the date the notice(s) was made available to you. There is no fee for copies of notices that are required by federal law. If you request paper copies of other records that we are able to provide you, we may charge you a fee. You also agree that by submitting information online or by communicating with us online, the information or other communication is delivered to us as if it were in writing and with your signature.
