Should the payment date I give on an RCU ePay bill payment be the date the payment is actually due?
No. You need to allow a minimum of seven (7) mailing lead days for the payment to reach your payee, so enter a date which is at least seven (7) mailing days before the actual due date. Be sure to take into account that, although you can schedule a payment at any time, payments are actually initiated (sent to the payee) only on week days, excluding RCU observed holidays. Payments scheduled to occur on weekends or holidays will be processed on the week day (excluding RCU observed holidays) prior to the pay date, except when processing for that day has already occurred. In this case, the payment will be processed on the following week day (excluding RCU observed holidays). The ePay cutoff time to enter payments for the current date is 12:15 am.
