What is the cutoff time to process a payment?

Overview

PayCargo allows users to approve invoice payments 24/7, giving Payers the flexibility to manage transactions at any time. While approvals can occur at any hour, there is a daily 6:00 PM EST cutoff to ensure payments are processed efficiently and cargo is released without delay.

How it Works

  • Approval availability: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • Processing schedule: By 6:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday.

  • Exclusions: Payments are not processed on Bank Holidays.

  • After hours: Payments approved after 6:00 PM EST or on non-processing days will be processed on the next business day.

Yes. Payments can be approved at any time, but if the approval happens after the 6:00 PM EST cutoff, it will be processed on the next business day.

If a payment is approved before 6:00 PM EST on a business day, it will be processed the same day, allowing for timely cargo release. Approvals after the cutoff will be processed the next business day, which may delay release, depending also on vendor set-up.
