Tips: Get the most out of scheduling payments

  • Pay all your bills at once on a set date, or pay each bill on its due date.

  • Select a payment method, deduction date and delivery method for each bill separately.

NOTE for errors: 

You can’t schedule the payment if there is missing information for any vendor. To learn more about batch payment errors read this article.
