Yes it does depend upon the FI (or specifically the Bill Payment service,
since you or the FI might be using CheckFree or MSN Bill Pay).
Typically they require a 1-5 day lead time depending upon the payee (some
can be paid via electronic funds transfer, others require a physical check
mailed to them). The first payment to any payee should be given at least a
weeks lead time though so that the Bill Payment service can process this new
payee.

You answered your own question. Depends on the FI.

Hi all:

The answer to this question probably varies depending upon one's banking
institution but I'll ask the question anyway... :-)

Typically how far ahead of the actual due date of bill should we schedule
payment of that bill in Money when paying online using a bill pay service?

Thanks
