How are my payments sent to my Payees and when are the funds deducted from my account?
Bill Pay payments will be made two ways:
- Electronic: if a payment is being sent electronically it will be displayed as “ELEC” on your “Manage Payees” screen within Bill Pay. Funds will be debited from your account on the "Send Date," one business day BEFORE the “Delivery Date” you select. If making a payment before 5pm on a business day, your funds will be debited that same day.
- Paper Check: if your payee does not accept electronic payments a paper check will be issued and mailed to the address you provide. “CHECK” will display next to your payee name on the “Manage Payees” screen within Bill Pay. Funds will be debited from your account when your payee submits it to Liberty Bank for payment – exactly as if you mailed the check yourself. Checks can take up to 10 days to be received and posted by your Payee.
