Pay your vendors faster when using checks. Fast checks are sent in 3 days via FedEx instead of USPS’s regular delivery time of 5-7 days.
Fast check payments work whether you’re paying with your bank account (ACH), Capital One Business card, or debit card (at a 2.9% fee).
You’ll have the option to make a fast check delivery when scheduling your payment deduction date, heres how:
- Sign in to Accounts Payable.
- Click Create a new payment. OR select an unpaid bill (skip to no.5).
3. Add a bill manually, upload a file or import from your QuickBooks account.
4. Fill in the bill details and click Continue.
Uploaded a bill file or synced with QuickBooks? Some or all of the details will be updated automatically.
5. Choose how you wish to pay - via Capital One Business card, debit card, or ACH. Click Continue.
6. Select Paper check when asked how your vendor would like to receive the payment.
7. Fill in the vendor’s name and mail address. This will appear on the check. Click Continue.
NOTE: Correct ZIP code format
Input a 5-digit, unhyphenated ZIP code.
8. When selecting a date for your payment to be deducted, make sure to check the option to schedule a fast check delivery ($20 fee).
9. Leave a note to your vendor. Click Continue.
NOTE: What to put in the note?
The invoice number is set as the default and the memo is printed on the check. Read this article to learn what the check looks like.
10. The last step is to confirm and schedule the payment after carefully reviewing the details in the Review & confirm page. Click Confirm and schedule to complete the process.
That’s it! You’ll get an email summarizing the details of this payment. You can notify your vendor that their payment is on the way.
Can I track the status of my fast check payment?

NOTE: Support’s response time
Response time may be up to 48 hours based on when we receive information from FedEx's system.
Why can’t I see the fast check option?
There can be a number of reasons why the fast check option is not available for your payment:
- Payor’s business is based in Texas.
- Your legal details are missing.
- The check address is a PO Box.
