I like online bill pay but if I do it from the bank it takes too long and the money is in the pending que too long and I don't like that. I found this annoying but I didn't know that was what was happening so your post bruce explains that. Thanks
I always go straight to the service providers website I feel better knowing they know the payment is coming and it does seem to take less time.
The paying by card at the gas station is the worst. It always is a good several days to a week before the transaction is shown as paid.

Sometimes,I like to go straight to the bank and ask them to cut a me cashiers check. The larger the check the better.
Sometimes it is nice to make a major down payment or rents and deposits that way. It gets the money out of your account quickly and efficiently and you don't have to wait days for the payment to be processed.
....and they better not even pretend to have my best interests at heart by reminding me I have bill pay either.
It's very empowering. Everyone should try it at least once.
