How do I send a bill pay check payment?

When using bill pay, you can send a physical check¹ as the payment method for a small fee of $1.50. We will issue, endorse, and securely mail the bill pay check to the payee’s address on file. Once the payment is initiated, you can track the status of the bill pay check by selecting the three dots and then View next to the payment.

Bill pay check processing times will depend on the funding source of your payment. See the table below for more information.

Note: If you entered the payee’s bank and routing numbers when creating your payee, or if you selected the payee from the directory list, you won’t have the option to send them a bill pay check; instead, the payment will be sent electronically.
