Hello Al,

Maybe not where you bank. If I click the "view payment" button of something
I've already paid on my bank's website, it shows me the exact check that was
sent to the billing party. *shrug*

When you setup a "bill pay" account of a billing party, if they're not
recognized by the bank or in their list of institutions, they will be mailed a
check by the due date. If the party is recognized by the bank, it will be
digitally/electronically transferred as you say. I guess that list would
probably vary at each bank.

Regards,
Nick
