Q: When and how are bill payments processed?
A: Scheduled payments are processed Monday through Friday at 12:00 a.m. (EST). Payments will be processed the evening before they are scheduled and sent the morning of the requested processing day.
If payment is by check, the check is mailed for the following morning. Please note, it can takes 5-7 days for the check to be mailed and processed. Please consider adjusting the payment date to account for this.
Electronic payments also go out the morning after a payment is processed. Since electronic payments are processed through the Federal Reserve, we can’t guarantee when the payment will be deducted from your account. However, this process generally takes two days.
