I understand that getting paid quickly is a priority for you, Beth.  I want to share some information with you.

When you schedule a bill payment, you and the payee will receive an email confirmation. After the bill payment is completed, you'll receive another email confirmation. You can see the status of all your Bill payments on the bill payments page.

The processing time for QuickBooks Bill Pay can vary depending on the chosen payment method.

Standard ACH Payments Delivery Time is 3-5 business days. This is the typical processing time for ACH payments, which can be affected by third-party delays or risk reviews.

Eligible QuickBooks Bill Pay users can choose Faster ACH Payments to schedule bill payments to be paid in 1 business day (excluding weekends and federal holidays). An additional $10 processing fee applies for each payment.
