How does it work?
The online payments will get sent one of two ways, electronically or by paper check. The majority of payment are delivered electronically. Your payment information, such as your account number is sent via secure transmission. All other payments are made by paper checks that are mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.
The payment is usually received to the merchant within 2 to 7 days, depending on whether or not it is sent electronically or via paper check.
