You may pay almost any payee you wish with the exception of the restrictions listed in the limitations section. Bill Payments can be made in two ways, one-time and recurring. One-time payments are single payments which occur on an infrequent or irregular basis, or which can vary in amount.

We reserve the right to change the cut-off time by giving you notice of the change. For recurring payment requests, if you designate a processing date of the 28th through the 31st of a month and this date falls in a short month, processing will be initiated on the first business calendar day of the month following that date. Otherwise, recurring payment requests will be processed on the dates you have designated, unless such date falls on a non-business resulting in your payment being processed on the next business day.
