Why does it take up to seven business days for payments to reach the Payee?
Although a number of your payees accept payments electronically, many do not. For those that do not accept electronic payments, we must send a check to that payee through the U.S. Mail. Once it is received by the payee, it may also take a day or so for that payee to process the check and post it to your account. Even for electronic payments, it may take two or three business days for your account to be updated. By allowing seven business days for processing and delivery, we can better assure your bills are paid on time.
