How quickly do bills get paid?
How quickly your bills get paid will be different for each payee — some can be paid the next day and some can take up to 4 days (when a paper check has to be sent). To make it easier for you, the Bill Pay calendar builds in the number of days for each payee automatically. The first available date, excluding weekends and federal holidays, will be the fastest a payment can be delivered to a payee. You’ll pick a Scheduled Delivery Date for each bill, based on the date you wish to pay the bill. This date will also be the day your account will be debited. Ally Bill Pay Tip: Paying bills a few days in advance of a bill’s due date — especially the first time you send a payment — can help you avoid a late fee. Keep in mind that we make every effort to deliver your payment by the Scheduled Delivery Date, but payments to some payees may take longer. For payments that are critical to you, we suggest you select a Scheduled Delivery Date at least 4 business days prior to your bill due date.
