Schedule a Bill Payment.
• This endpoint allows the scheduling of a one-time or recurring future bill payment to the selected payee, using their payeeIdentifier.
• Recurring future bill payments: The payee needs to be added using POST /billpayPayees to obtain a payeeIdentifier.The frequencyType is required. If the recurring billPay schedule has an ending date, then the paymentEndDate should be the same date.If the recurring billPay schedule is unknown, the paymentEndDate can be set to null.
• The send date set at the time when the original recurring bill payment was scheduled will be revised automatically when the deliver by date lands on either a weekend or federal holiday to ensure there is enough time (5 business days) for the check to arrive by the original expected date.Once the payee is added, the paymentIdentifier will be assigned for the recurring future bill payment.
• The confirmation number will also be returned to the user for schedule confirmation. The scheduled bill payment will be debited from the user’s account on the payment date.After the first scheduled bill payment is processed, future recurring bill payments will be automatically scheduled for the next payment due date, based on frequencyType. Note: If there are issues with debiting a payment, it can be retried up to two times the same morning.
• If the payment still fails, the paymentStatus will show as failed and it will not be tried again. Terms and Conditions Enforcement Depending on the terms and conditions included in the daa that is accepted during account registration, some features may need to be explicitly accepted via the PUT /accounts endpoint.Initially, all programs will be configured to not enforce terms acceptance.Once the system is configured to enforce terms acceptance for a feature, any customer that does not accept the terms for that feature will not be allowed to use the feature.
• For any programs, where customers are already using features that may require explicit terms acceptance, a data backfill will be required for those customers prior to enforcement being enabled.Please work with your Green Dot Account Manager and/or Product Manager to understand the impact and transition plan for your program and features. Bill Pay Transaction Limits Programs configured for Bill Pay will have a $7,500 limit per Bill Pay transaction. Note: Some programs may have custom limits configured for Bill Pay transactions.
