It does not take long to add new payees to your list of bill payment payees. You will be able to instantly add payees and immediately schedule payments to them. You can even search for companies by name from a list of payees already on file with the Bank. The address information will even be automatically filled in. Learn how to add an online bill payee here.

There are different ways merchants (payees) receive payments. You should make sure that enough time has elapsed to be sure that the payment isn't already being processed by the merchant (payee).

If you know they had enough time to process the payment (we would suggest a minimum of 7-10 business days), you can call or email People's United Bank with the date your payment was made using our bill payment service, and we will immediately start researching as to the cause of the delay.

We will resolve all bill payment problems within 10 business days of your report to us. In the majority of cases, the merchant has received the People's United Bank payment and has simply not credited your account as of the time of your initial inquiry or last statement.

Completed: We have confirmed that the merchant received this payment electronically from us

Sent: We have confirmed that we have mailed a physical check to the merchant on your behalf

Cleared On: The check has been presented and cleared

At the end of the business day, our banking system reconciles all the transactions on your account and processes all the various types of transactions (Deposits, Withdrawals, Payments, etc.). On rare occasions where there are many transactions for our customers, this process may not complete until the early morning on the following day.

As a result, the bill payment debit may actually occur on your account very early the next day. As long as your account is in good standing and contains enough money to cover your payments, we will not hold back payment to your merchant based on this kind of processing delay.

If you scheduled a bill payment and did not have funds to cover it in the account you specified, your account may become overdrawn as our system attempts to make the payment for you.

Our representatives will review the bill payment transactions on the following day and may return the payment and credit your account. However, certain electronic payments cannot be returned as the funds have already been sent to your merchant. Overdraft fees may apply.

Your payment may have been sent a day later than when it was scheduled due to verification that is completed by People's United Bank.

Before sending payments to your payee, People's United Bank verifies that your available balance contains enough money to cover the bill payment. During our end of day reconciliation of your accounts and transactions, our system checks your current and available balances to ensure you have the adequate funds to cover the payment. If funds are not sufficient, our bank representatives will review the payment on the following business day to determine if funds have become available and make the final decision to continue to process or cancel the bill payment.

Please remember to have sufficient available funds in your account to ensure that your payment can be sent on time. As always, please allow adequate time for your payment to be received and credited by your merchant. 

E-Bill is an electronic version of your bill that you receive directly through our Online Banking system. This electronic bill can be viewed immediately. An e-bill looks exactly like your paper bill. The only difference is that it is conveniently delivered to online banking.

E-Bills are free and they can accelerate and simplify the bill paying process. You simply click it, view it, and pay it.

Since your e-bill is available online you can print a copy if you need one.

To receive e-bills, click the ‘Set up e-bill’ link, below the company name, and follow the online instructions. You should begin receiving your e-bill online within 1-2 billing cycles.

If you are experiencing a problem setting up an e-Bill, please contact the Call Center at (800) 525-9248. 

The Expedited Payments service allows you to make overnight payments to anyone, anywhere in the continental United States (the contiguous 48 states and the District of Columbia) from one location.

Our Expedited Payment feature provides you two options to make your payments. The first payment option allows overnight checks to almost any payee the next business day. To ensure overnight delivery, overnight checks can only be sent to a valid street address in the continental United States.

The second payment option is an expedited electronic payment. This option is available for any payee that we currently send electronic payments to and will save you the cost of postage. When you setup your payment, the system will display the payment options that are available to you for the specific payee. 

Expedited electronic payments are only available for payees that we currently send electronic payments to or "managed payees". The cutoff time for expedited electronic payments is based on the payee and their ability to accept payments that day.

Overnight Checks can be sent to any payee that you establish. Once you create the payment request a check will be generated and delivered to the address that you provided. The cutoff time for overnight check payments to be delivered the next business day is 7:45 pm ET.

Important: All expedited payments will arrive at their destination the following business day. 

• Enjoy piece of mind – take comfort in knowing that you can make a payment quickly
•  Avoid late fees – pay a bill as soon as the next business day versus a normal payment that can take up to 5-7 business days
• Safeguard your credit rating – protect your financial wellbeing by avoiding late payments

Yes, all Expedited Payments are wrapped into our secure and confidential online banking service. 

Yes, there is a nominal convenience fee of $5.95 for expedited electronic payments and $17.95 for overnight checks. 

The convenience fee is deducted from the funding account the payment was made from as a separate transaction. 

Sometimes payees indicate a special address to use for payments delivered via an overnight service. If the address is a P.O. Box, you will need to contact the payee to identify an address to use. 

Yes. Expedited Payments cannot be sent to an address in Hawaii, Alaska or to a P.O. Box. 

Yes, Internal Transfers made to your eligible People's United deposit or loan account before 11:00 pm Eastern Time on a Business Day will begin processing the same Business Day. If the internal transfer is made on a weekend, bank holiday or after the close of a Business Day then it will be posted on the next Business Day.

People's United Bank pays your bills one of two ways. If a merchant is set up to receive payments electronically, we send credit to them "computer to computer" and your account with the merchant can be credited very quickly. While you should contact your merchant for how much time to allow, we would recommend as a guide a minimum of 5-6 business days. 

However, many merchants (including some very large national ones) are not set up to receive payments electronically. In those cases, People's United Bank cuts, a physical check for the amount of your payment, and sends it via 1st class mail to the address you gave us when you asked us to set up the merchant. Your payment is credited to your account only after it physically travels to the merchant and is processed by their internal processes. While you should contact your merchant for how much time to allow, we would recommend as a guide a minimum of 5-6 business days. 

Any bills you have authorized for payment today or for future dating will appear in Payment Outbox section of the My Bills and Scheduled Payments screen. Payments you make today or Future Dated payments scheduled for today will only appear until the end of the bank's processing day, after which point they can no longer be cancelled or changed. 

To make payments or transfer funds to any of your eligible People’s United deposit accounts or People’s United loan accounts, watch this short Transfer Funds demo. You can choose to use the Transfer Option from the Transfer icon or Bill Payment option from the Bill Pay Icon.

Note: If Bill Payment is selected and your requested payment is submitted after to the 9:00 PM ET cutoff, it may not process on the same business day.
