Like, can you pay your bills on the due date now instead of a couple of business days earlier

For at least ten years now.

You should visit America. It's nice.

I have. It is indeed nice. I haven't interacted with American bill payment infrastructure though during my visits. I read Bank of America website though, and it recommends sending bill payments 5 business days before the due date. Are they incorrect?

> How long does it take for an online payment to reach a biller?

> We recommend scheduling your payments to be made at least 5 business days prior to the actual payment due date on the bill. Scheduling your payments sufficiently in advance of the due date allows enough time for the biller to receive the payment and credit it to your account.
