What is a merchant account number exactly? I’m trying to enter a new payee in my online billing with my local bank. Is the merchant account number my credit card number?

A merchant account number is assigned to you when you open up a merchant account. A merchant account allows a business to accept credit cards for payments.
Based on your question I think it is safe to assume that you are looking in the wrong place to do your online billing.
