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:

  1. Verify the payment was debited
    • Confirm that the payment has been withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card.
  2. 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.
