Payment Batch Cut-Off Times Overview

Payments are sent for processing every hour on the hour. A payment has the For Submission status until the payment is sent to the payment processor.

Note:

If a timeout error occurs during payment submission to payment processor, the transaction is removed from the current batch and processed in the next batch.

The table in this section provides an overview of the payment batch cut-off times in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) for each mode of payment.

This cut-off time refers to the latest time you can submit and, if applicable, authorize a payment on the Payment Automation dashboard for processing on that same day.

ACH and check payments submitted and authorized after the cut-off time will be processed at 5 am the following business day. A business day is any day except Saturday, Sunday or a US federal holiday observed by the Federal Reserve Banks. A list of Federal Reserve holidays can be accessed on Federal Reserve Board - Holidays Observed - K.8. Payments are deducted from the daily ACH limit for the day in which they are processed.
