Bill Pay Basic is included as part of your standard QuickBooks plan.
Premium or Elite plans include features like unlimited 1099 e-filing at no additional cost.
Elite plans, or any plan with QuickBooks Online Advanced, offer custom user roles and multi-step bill approval workflows.

Subscription fees are charged at the start of your billing cycle, while processing fees are charged at the end of the last month's payments.
Standard ACH transfers take 3-5 business days, and paper checks take 8-10 business days.
Eligible customers can use Faster ACH Payments for 1-business-day delivery, subject to an additional fee and a maximum $25,000 limit. This payment doesn't count toward your monthly bank transfer (ACH) payments in your Bill Pay subscription tier.

Notes:

Faster ACH Payments need to be scheduled by 5 PM PT on business days to be delivered by the next business day.
Bill Pay processing fees are based on the date you choose to withdraw the money.
1-business-day delivery excludes weekends and federal holidays.
Delivery times can vary due to third-party delays or risk reviews.
