    Paying for an eFiling: Accessing the US Bank ePayment site

    Filers can access the US Bank ePayment site directly after submitting a filing to the court. US Bank ePayment is a third party site used by the Wisconsin Court System to enable electronic payments for eFilings. Use of this site does not require a US Bank account, however you may register for an ePayment account, use a previously registered account, or pay without registering. By registering for an account, your billing and contact information is stored to save time on future filings. Have the necessary payment information (e.g., credit/debit card numbers, bank routing numbers) handy before beginning the eFiling process to ensure your ePayment session does not time out.

    1. After you submit your filing to the court, select [Make payment with US Bank] on the Filings submitted screen to launch the US Bank ePayment site.

    2. The ePayment site uses an account separate from your eFiling account. You may either:
    3. log in using existing US Bank login information, register for an account, or select the Pay Without Registering link to complete the payment without an account. The example below uses the Pay Without Registering payment option.
