• Monitor activity: Check your payment history regularly to spot any unexpected transactions and report anomalies promptly.

Common Questions

Can I schedule payments to be delivered on weekends or holidays? You can schedule any date, but if the processing date falls on a non-business day the payment will typically be posted on the next business day. Advanced scheduling options allow you to avoid these days if preferred.

Are there limits on payment amounts or number of payees? Limits may apply depending on account type and user profile. You can view your specific limits in the Bill Pay settings or contact BankUnited support for details.

How long does it take for payments to reach the payee? Delivery time varies by payee and payment method. Electronic payments can post within one to three business days, while mailed checks may take longer. When scheduling, the system provides an estimated delivery date.
