Step 6

You will see a confirmation that your payment was successfully scheduled. You can print a copy of the payment information before you Log Out. Click Return to Payment Center to view, edit or cancel your payment.

Helpful tip! Money will not come out of your account before the scheduled Payment Date. However, if your payment requires a paper check, be sure you have the necessary funds in your account as funds could be withdrawn before your stated due date. On the confirmation page, you can find how the payment is being made to the merchant just above the Deliver By date on the right side of the screen.
