THE BILL PAY PROCESS
Single Payments – a single payment will be processed on the business day (generally
Monday through Friday, except certain holidays) that you designate as the payment’s
process date, provided the payment is submitted prior to the daily cut-off time on that date.
The daily cut-off time, which is controlled by the Financial Institution, is currently 2:00 PM
CST.
A single payment submitted after the cut-off time on the designated process date will be
processed on the next business day. If you designate a non-business date (generally
weekends and certain holidays) as the payment’s process date, the payment will be
processed on the first business day following the designated process date.
Recurring Payments - When a recurring payment is processed, it is automatically
rescheduled by the system. Based upon your selected frequency settings for the payment,
a process date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment. If the calculated
process date is a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays), it is
adjusted based upon the following rules:
• If the recurring payment‘s “Pay Before” option is selected, the process date for
the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date prior to
the calculated process date.
• If the recurring payment’s “Pay After” option is selected, the process date for the
new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date after the
calculated process date.
Note: If your frequency settings for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th, or 31st as
a particular day of the month for processing and that day does not exist in the month of the
calculated process date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated
process date.
SINGLE AND RECURRING PAYMENTS
The system will calculate the Estimated Arrival Date of your payment. This is only an
estimate; please allow ample time for you payments to reach your “Payees”.
CANCELLING A PAYMENT
A bill payment can be changed or cancelled anytime prior to the cut-off time on the
scheduled process date.
