Confirming where a payment was applied
Learn how to confirm if an ACH, wire, credit card or check payment was applied and how to proceed if a correction is needed.
Use Your Account to locate your ACH or check payment and confirm it was applied correctly. If the payment does not appear online, create a case so we can investigate.
Before you begin
Before investigating a payment, confirm the following:
- Verify the payment was debited
- Confirm that the payment has been withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card.
- Allow time for processing as payments may take time to appear on your account.
- Standard mailed check: up to 10 business days
- Express mailed check: up to 3 business days
- ACH or wire transfer: up to 3 business days
Important: If the payment has not been debited or sufficient processing time has not passed, Pitney Bowes may not have received the payment yet.
