If a non-sufficient fund (NSF) condition exists, the debit will be returned via normal banking channels.

When may bill payments be scheduled for processing?
Bill Payment and Presentment is available for payment scheduling 24/7. Our Bill Payment service provider processes payments on all days excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Federal Reserve Board recognized holidays. If payments are scheduled past the time of the day when new payments can be processed or the recurring payment date is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the payment will be scheduled on the next business day.
If I select an erroneous electronic payee and this causes a posting delay and late charge, what is the process and who bears the burden of the late charge?
If you select an electronic payee that matches your payment coupon exactly and the Bill Payment processor routes the payment to a different payment center, the Bill Payment processor is responsible for the late charge and will reimburse any payee-imposed late fees up to $50.00. If you select an electronic payee with an address that is different from that indicated on the payment coupon, you are responsible for the late charge. You always have the option to manually set up a payee with the correct address information found on the payment coupon.
