Before you pay anything
- Does it match the receive
- The check that costs a minute now and is close to unrecoverable once the payment has left.
- Is there a credit outstanding
- Applying it first reduces what you send.
- Are the terms being met
- Early is money you did not need to spend yet; late is a relationship cost.
