Requiring "good funds" is like selling a Corvette with a 55-mph governor on it. Dumb. So I'm wondering, which of CKFR's partners are doing this -- and which are really serious about offering billpay convenience to their customers? Does anybody know for sure? Combined with the long lead times inherent in electronic billpay (it can take a week if there's a long holiday involved) requiring "good funds" seems to me to be a major impediment for consumer adoption. The Quicken/CKFR/Citibank system I have used does not require "good funds" and I routinely schedule payments days and weeks ahead to arrive the day AFTER paychecks get deposited. I think of it as "just time time" money management. It is one of the big reasons for using billpay, IMO.
