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.
