The Credit Union’s Bill Pay service is available to you under guidelines described in this agreement. You authorize the Credit Union to debit your designated Checking account(s) for any transactions processed through the use of our Bill Pay service, including all charges as shown in our Fees & Charges associated with Bill Pay service. Requirements and your responsibilities for use of this service are described below.
To use Bill Pay, you must have a computer, modem, internet service, browser, your account number and a PIN or Access Code.
Payee records are created by you and should include all the necessary data to make your payment, such as payee name, address, phone number and account number.
You may add and edit payees within the Bill Pay service. The Credit Union may update these records without any further notification to correct errors or update account information as provided by the payee in order to process your payment. Editing payees is limited to your personal information such as: the payee nickname, account number, phone, name on account and payment category. The Credit Union is not responsible if you provide invalid, incomplete or incorrect payee information which results in a bill payment that cannot be processed and/or is misrouted.
The payee details will indicate the number of days required for processing. Payments made by check require a minimum of five (5) business days for processing and electronic payments require a minimum of two (2) business days for processing.
Payments can be scheduled to any payee from your checking account on any date shown on the bill pay system calendar as an available “deliver by” date. The “deliver by” date is the date the Payee will receive payment. These dates are limited to Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays.
In order to ensure payments are received by the “deliver by” date, payments are processed (but not charged to your account) two (2) business days before the “deliver by” date after 1pm (PST) for electronic payments. Payments made by check are processed five (5) business days before the “deliver by” date after 1pm (PST) and are charged once the Payee negotiates the issued check which is drawn directly on the designated Checking account. Please make sure you have available funds in your account at least four (4) days prior to your selected due date as the funds can clear as soon as your payee receives the check. The maximum payment amount is $9,999.99 per transaction.
Scheduled electronic payments will be withdrawn from your account as early as 4am (PST) but no later than 9am (PST) on the “deliver by” date you have specified.
The funds for check payments will be debited from your account when the payee receives and negotiates the check. We send the check up to five (5) days before your due date.
To determine if a payment will be paid electronically or by check, locate the payment in the Scheduled Payments section of the main page and click the Edit icon. How a payment is scheduled to be made, electronic or check, will display in the pop-up box next to Type.
It is your responsibility to have sufficient funds for the payment to be processed. In the event you do not have sufficient funds, you may be assessed an overdraft, Courtesy Pay or NSF fee as a result of these transactions as disclosed in our Fees & Charges. The Credit Union may overdraft from your other share accounts (as applicable) according to the instructions you have given the Credit Union (if any) if there are not sufficient funds in the designated Checking account.
