Please note: a Security Administrator must now grant you access to the Web Payment Program before you can finalize your registration. You will receive an email notification within 24 hours, at that point you may continue on to next steps. 

Setting up your bank payment information 

1. Go to https://nexen.bnymellon.com and log in with your User ID and Password you created.

Select: Transactions -> Payments and Transfers -> Master File Payment System (MPS) -> Location Maintenance -> Create

2. Select Company Number 2701 TeamCare / Central States Health & Welfare Fund or 2702 for Central States Pension Fund.

If you wish to make payments to both Funds, you must complete the Location Maintenance registration process twice (once under company number 2701, and once under company number 2702). You can use the same User ID and Password for both Funds.

Click Submit.

3. Enter your information in all the boxes within the Location Information, Posting Information, and Create PIN Information sections and click SUBMIT. (See below for detailed box descriptions)

• Location Number – Enter your 7-digit Central States Employer Account Number + your 4-digit Terminal Number in this box (no dashes)
• Location Name – Enter your company’s name in this box
• Posting TR # – Enter your transit routing number at your bank
• Posting Acct #– Enter your account number at your bank
• Acct Type – Only corporate accounts can be used for the Web Payment Program.  Personal checking and savings accounts cannot be accepted
• Output Type – Select ACH Debit
• PIN #– You may either create your own six-digit PIN number or leave this field blank and click Generate to have BNY Mellon automatically generate a random PIN. (Note: it may take several weeks for the bank to generate a random PIN and a PIN is required to make payments, therefore we recommend creating your own PIN number)

4. Review your information and click CONFIRM.

5. If the Status reads Successful, you have completed your registration to the Web Payment Program.

Please note: once you receive email confirmation, you may begin submitting web payments to TeamCare / Central States Funds. Please allow 2-3 business days for this process to be completed.
