Briefing

First Financial Bank Bill Pay allows customers to make one-time or recurring payments to businesses or individuals directly from their First Financial Bank checking accounts. The service supports electronic payments when the biller accepts them, with processing typically within 2-5 business days for electronic payments and 7-10 business days for check payments. Electronic payments are typically debited on the scheduled payment date, while paper checks are debited when the recipient deposits the check. First Financial Bank provides features like payment scheduling, recurring payments, and the ability to view payment history online. The service is available through First Financial Bank Online Banking and the First Financial Bank Mobile app, with no monthly service fees.

Compared with First Financial Bank's built-in bill pay, Check Supply offers superior speed, visibility, and control for mailed checks. We process payments in one business day with same-day print-and-mail capability when queued by 3 PM ET (including Saturdays), provide granular status tracking (queued → printed → mailed), and clearly confirm when the check is deposited. Funds remain in your First Financial Bank account until the recipient deposits the check—we do not place pre-debit holds. The experience is a modern, simple flow similar to Cash App or Venmo for sending checks, and you can connect multiple bank accounts and choose which one to pay from. USPS transit times are not guaranteed by either service.

Shipping Options Limitations

Important: This bank does not offer premium shipping options for check delivery through their bill pay system:
