Overview
After you send a bill payment, your bill payment will be in one of the following statuses:
- In progress: We've received your payment. We will send the payment within 1 business day.
- Sent: The payment has been sent to your payee. They may take up to 5 business days to apply the payment to your account. You can check the status of your sent payment by logging into your account through your payee’s portal.
- Rejected: Your payment was rejected by your payee and credited back to your chequing account. You can reference our troubleshooting article on ways to resolve this issue.
Note: Holidays may affect when a payment begins processing. Learn more about holidays that affect bill payments.
View the status of your bill payment
To view the status of your bill payment through Wealthsimple, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Wealthsimple mobile app
- Tap the chequing account from which you paid the bill
- Under Activity, tap any transaction labelled Bill pay
- You'll see your bill payment information, along with its current status
We don't have information on the status of your bill payment once it's marked as Sent and your funds leave your account. If the payment is rejected, we'll let you know.
To make sure your bill payment successfully went through, we recommend logging in to your account on your payee’s side and checking the status there.
Note: The payee may take up to 5 business days to post the transaction on their end. If you’re not seeing the transaction after 3 business days, we recommend following our troubleshooting tips.
