A "push" payment is where you are signing in to an online banking system and scheduling a payment to a payee, in the amount you choose, to be paid when you choose. It requires thought and action on your part.

A "pull" payment is where you are authorizing a payee to go into your bank account and take what they think you owe, when they think you owe it. You give control to the payee.
