You may make payments through Bill Payment Service (“SERVICE”) to any business, person or professional (“PAYEE”) that has an address which can verified. Bill Payments (“BILL PAYMENTS”) may be made only to Payees with a United States
payment address. SERVICE reserves the right to refuse to accept any bill payment transaction. BILL PAYMENTS for alimony, child support, taxes, government fees, or court ordered payments are not always accepted. You can make these payments, but SERVICE do not guarantee that it will be accepted or posted in a timely fashion. You must do so at your own risk.
a. BILL PAYMENTS will be sent to the PAYEE either electronically or by paper check mailed to the PAYEE via the U.S. Postal Service. The choice of electronic or paper check is solely at the discretion of SERVICE. Checks, electronic payments, and withdrawal orders of any kind can be drawn on your Account in any order. You should be aware that other transactions (such as ATM, telephone banking, on-line transfers or in-branch withdrawals) may affect the amount of funds available to make your payment.
b. When you schedule a bill payment transaction, you authorize FI to reduce the Account balance accordingly. If the
available balance in the Account is not sufficient to make payments you have authorized, FI may either refuse to pay the item or make the payment and thereby overdraw the account. In either event, you are responsible for any insufficient funds and overdraft charges may be impose, as stated in the FI’s fee and disclosure statements. FI reserves the right to refuse to honor payment requests that may reasonably appear to be fraudulent or erroneous.
c. When a BILL PAYMENT is scheduled, an estimated delivery date is given, based on the method of delivery being used to make the payment. However, payments should be scheduled at least five (5) business days before the business day on which a bill payment is due to ensure that SERVICE has sufficient time to process and deliver the payment. SERVICE is not responsible for payment delivery delays caused by the U.S. Postal Service or for payment processing delays after the PAYEE has received the payment. Any charges imposed as a result of your failure to transmit bill payment transactions at least five (5) business days before a payment is due are your responsibility. SERVICE’s responsibility for any late payment
beyond this timeframe is strictly limited to the late charge only, up to a MAXIMUM of $50. The SERVICE is not responsible for
finance charges, interest, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages related to the late payment.
d. SERVICE may be used to authorize automatic recurring BILL PAYMENTS of repetitive bills. You may schedule
recurring payments to be automatically initiated for a fixed amount on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly or annual basis. The day on which the payment is to be sent is referred to as the “Date/Recurrence.” If the payment date/recurrence is scheduled for a non-business day, it will be processed on the prior business day.
