Once I have logged into my small local bank's web site, all I have to do to satisfy MY online banking to pay bills is to uncheck:


[_] Prevent cross site tracking


and CheckFree loads its generic payment window in the banking browser window and all works as expected.


My habit is to leave the Safari Preferences window open, so that I remember to change that setting back before wandering off.


My BIG National bank has figured out how to do this without ANY action on my part -- but they may have written their own special bank-specific "front end" software to display their own special bill pay in their own window, instead of linking to the CheckFree software.


All the checks from all the bill pay sources look the same, and come from Check-Free.

The only time when electronic payments were unexpectedly delayed was when the payment was too big, but no one warned me. (In this case, the payment was slightly over US$10,000) They auto-converted that "too big" payment into a physical check and mailed it. That was annoying, because I had not had trouble or delays before that, and had gotten used to cutting things close, paying only a few days ahead of the due date. Now I try to leave a little more slack.


When I pressed and pressed and pressed, they blurted out just make two smaller payments, even on the same day, and they would remain as electronic payments and go right through.
