Why did my payment process on a different date than I expected?

A few possibilities, depending on how you pay and when you scheduled.

First, which kind of payment is yours?

  • Direct payments — you scheduled the payment yourself in Split Pay, and Split Pay sends it to your landlord. Our scheduling and processing cutoffs decide when it runs.

  • Portal payments — you pay through a resident portal, lender, or servicer using your Split Pay account and routing numbers. That system decides when to pull the payment, not Split Pay.

For direct payments — the two most common reasons:

  1. Next-business-day processing. Payments scheduled after 6:30 AM ET, or on a weekend or holiday, process the next business day. So a payment you set up on Saturday likely ran Monday.

  2. The 4pm ET daily cutoff. ACH payments process at 4pm ET each business day. If you submitted at 5pm ET on a Wednesday, it processes Thursday — not Wednesday evening.

For portal payments:

  • Your portal, lender, or servicer controls when payment is requested from us — not the other way around.

  • Sometimes they pull payment days before the actual due date, sometimes the same day.

  • If your payment came out earlier than you expected, that's a decision on their side.

For second Split Pay payments (whichever way you pay):

  • The second payment date is set about 14 days after your first payment settles — not 14 days after you paid.

  • So if your first payment took 3 days to settle, your second payment lands about 17 days after you actually paid.

Quick way to check:

  • Open the Split Pay app

  • Look at your transaction history — every payment shows the exact date and amount

  • Compare what you see in the app to your bank statement
