How do I specify which payment method to use for each vendor?
Under each vendor's detail page accessed via the Bill Pay > Vendors page:
Here's a detailed explanation of how to select a vendor's default payment method.
How long does it take Corpay One to deliver the payment to the vendor?
Corpay One’s system allows you to initiate payments immediately or to schedule payments for later dates using the Auto Schedule feature, which can be enabled by navigating to Settings > Advanced > Payments (you may also initiate payment manually by hitting the Pay Now ****button on an unpaid bill).
If Auto-Schedule is enabled, Corpay One will initiate your bill payment up to 10 business days in advance of the due date, depending on the payment method set for that vendor. You may also initiate payment manually by hitting the Pay Now ****button on an unpaid bill. Important details to note about processing times:
If this is one of your FIRST payments in Corpay One, please note that processing times may take an additional few days. This is due to banks' security measures around new connections being established.
Official bank holidays (e.g. Thanksgiving Day, Labor Day, etc.) are excluded from the processing time estimates below.
