How online bill payments are processed

10/25/21

Online bill payment remit methods include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, a draft check remitted on your behalf, or Bill Pay Corporate Check.

Electronic Payment: Funds remitted to Biller on the scheduled payment date. Funds for the payment clear your account on the scheduled payment date.

Draft Check: Check mailed to the biller three business days prior to the scheduled payment date to ensure it arrives by the scheduled payment date. Funds clear your account when the biller cashes the check.

Bill Pay Corporate check: Bill Pay corporate check mailed to the biller three business day prior to the scheduled payment date to ensure it arrives by the scheduled payment date. Funds are electronically debited from your account on the scheduled payment date.

Funds need to be available to cover the payment on the scheduled payment date.

The payment method for each payment is determined automatically by our bill pay system. One of the main determining factors is the method by which entities prefer to receive payment. If a payment can be issued electronically, we do so whenever possible because it is the most efficient method. If a payment cannot be issued electronically, our system remits a check on your behalf.

A payment may switch from one payment method to another for a number of reasons. The merchant may have temporarily switched the payment method to paper while they update processing information. Recent changes or re-issuance of your payee account number could alter the payment method. The amount of the payment and your payment history are also considered. There are many factors that we evaluate when making this decision. Regardless of the payment method, our goal is to deliver the payment to the merchant on the due date according to your payment instructions.

Note: Intuit Direct Connect Bill Pay processing is not available at this time for Business Bill Pay.
