When are payments posted to my policy?
When are payments posted to my policy?
Payment posting depends on the system associated with your policy.
Policies with a suffixed policy number
For policies with a suffix, such as 12345-001, payments are posted on the same day, including weekends and holidays.
Payment information is refreshed every 15 minutes. If you recently submitted a payment, allow time for the next refresh before checking your account again.
Legacy policies without a suffix
For legacy policies without a suffix, such as 12345:
- Payments received before 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time are posted the same day.
- Payments received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time are processed on the next business day.
- Payments entered on weekends or holidays are processed on the next business day.
How to check whether a payment posted
- Sign in to the secure Beacon Mutual online portal at beaconmutual.com.
- Select Billing.
- Open the applicable billing account.
- Review your payment history and invoices.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I not see the payment I just made?
For a suffixed policy, the payment display refreshes every 15 minutes. For a legacy policy, the payment may not post until the next business day if it was received after the cutoff, on a weekend, or on a holiday.
What if the payment still does not appear?
Contact the Beacon Support Center at 401-825-2995 if the appropriate posting window has passed and the payment is still not visible.
Does a bank bill-pay payment post immediately?
A bank may send bill-pay funds as a physical check. The payment cannot be posted until Beacon Mutual receives and processes that check.
