6 - When selecting a date for your payment to be debited, make sure to select the fast check option. Select Continue.

What should you put in the memo?

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:
- Your legal details are missing.
- It’s a recurring payment.
- The check address is a PO Box.
- Fast check delivery is unavailable for a specific payment.
