A handler associated with a payor is determined and money is transferred from that handler to the stored value fund. In one step, the payor is informed that a payee accepts payment from the online system. Subscription type information is received, which includes at least two of a per-request payment cap, a fixed payment amount, a limit on payment per time period, a limit on the number of payments in the time period, and a time period. Pay-out instructions are also received and include at least two of a payor identifier, a payee identifier, a transfer amount, a payment description. The transfer amount is automatically sent from the stored value fund to the payee.
