Bill Pay FAQs

What new features are offered in the updated Bill Pay service?

The following features are now available directly through TDECU Digital Banking, without ever leaving the application:

    • Ability to enroll in the Bill Pay service.
    • Manage eBills.
    • Add and manage your individual and company payees.

The following services are now available through the Bill Pay Advanced Site:

    • Enhanced Member support via phone, secure messaging and online chat.
    • Demo videos, how-to guides and FAQs to guide you through the changes.
    • Person-to-person payments with pass-phrase security.

I have noticed that the time frame of when my payments are deducted from my account has changed. What should I be aware of when scheduling payments?

When launching the new Bill Pay service, we implemented the Good Funds Payment Model. This helps to ensure that funds are available before sending out payments.

So how does the Good Funds Payment Model work?

    • Payments are pulled two business days before the selected due date for electronic payments and four business days for check-based payments. You will need to keep the number of business days in mind when scheduling your payments.
    • TDECU has built-in a “second review” so that you can check funds availability the day after the pulled payment. The second look provides you with extra time to ensure funds are available for your payments.
    • If funds are not available on the process date, the payment will not send, and a fee will NOT be charged. This reduces the potential for you to incur fees after a payment is sent and then returned for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF).
    • With electronic payments, the information is processed immediately, so you can see your balance on your account in real-time.

  • Payments sent via text or email will require the payee to set up a profile with a pass-phrase in order to receive their funds.

Why am I receiving a notification that I can't add a payee for 30 days?

To protect the security of your Bill Pay account, we do not allow the addition of new payees for a period of time after changing your contact information. This includes your phone number and email address.

You may contact Member Care at (800) 839-1154 and ask to have your Bill Pay account reviewed for a lift of the block.

When are payments processed?

Payments are processed 2 – 4 days prior to your selected due date.

    • Electronic payments are debited from your account 2 days prior to the selected due date.
    • Check payments are typically cut and mailed 4 days prior to the due date. Please note: Funds will only be debited from your account once the check is cashed by the payee.

When is the payment cutoff time?

Payment cut off times are Monday – Friday at 3 pm CT. Any payments scheduled after 3 pm CT will process on the next business day.
