Payments will be deducted from the account you indicate either through a direct electronic funds payment (ACH) or through an intermediate check that is mailed to the payee by CheckFree. The choice of payment method depends on the relationship of the payee with the CheckFree Company and sometimes changes depending on the amount. Note: A direct electronic funds payment will be deducted from your account on the date you choose. However, a check issued on your behalf by CheckFree will be dated by your choice but deducted from your account when cashed by the payee.
