Like a prompt payment (6)

I believe the answer is:

timely

(Other definitions for timely that I've seen before include "At an opportune occasion" , "At an appropriate hour" , "Opportune and convenient" , "Seasonable" , "Occurring at just the right moment or occasion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
