1. When are payment cycles run and how are checks disbursed?

Check and ACH payment cycles are run on a daily basis. Checks are sent out in the U.S. mail the day they are written and ACH payment files are submitted to Bank One daily also. ACH payments may take an additional day to appear in an account, however.
