|
|
10. Scheduling Payments Through Bill Pay
|
You may choose to use Bill Pay and use your PC to electronically schedule payments with CSB’s Online Bill Pay Service. Payments are posted against your balance available for withdrawal, as defined in the Bank’s Funds Availability Policy, plus the available credit on your Overdraft Protection, if any, or other Line of Credit.
|
|
11. Types of Payments Through Bill Pay
|
|
A single transfer is a transfer made on a one-time basis. A single transfer must be requested prior to 6:00 p.m. Central Time to be posted on the same business day.
- Recurring payments are those made for the same amount and are made on a weekly, bi-monthly, monthly basis, etc. Once started, recurring payments will be made automatically until you tell us to stop or cancel the service and we have a reasonable opportunity to react.
- Funds must be available in your account(s) on the requested initiation date. If there are insufficient funds in the account to make the payment, we may either refuse to pay the interim or make such payment thereby overdrawing your account(s). In either occurrence, you are responsible for any non-sufficient funds (NSF) or overdraft charges imposed, as stated in our Common Fees brochure.
- If you wish to cancel payments, you may do so by completing the cancellation process available on the Web Site. You must cancel payments prior to 6:00 p.m. on the date you initiated the payment. If you do not cancel your payment prior to 6:00 p.m., you will be responsible for the payment. Do not send payment requests or cancel payment requests via e-mail to the bank.
- You may view balances and transaction activity on checking, savings, money market, and certificate of deposits, IRA’s, and loan accounts.
|
|
12. Delivery of Your Payments and Transfers Through Bill Pay
|
|
You may schedule payments to be initiated on the current business day, on a future date, or on the same date of each month, subject to the restrictions in the Agreement. Although you can enter payment information through the Service twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, payments can be initiated only on business days. Funds will be deducted from your Account on the business day on which a payment is to be "initiated." This date is referred to in this Agreement as the "Transaction Date. If you direct the initiation of a payment to occur on a day other than a business day, it will be initiated on the preceding business day. (Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays). The Bill Payment will be processed on the following business day, once the transaction is initiated.
After funds are withdrawn from your Account, we may remit your payments by mailing your Payee a check, or by electronic funds transfer, including ACH (Automated Clearing House) or by other means. Because of the time it takes to send your payment, your Payees generally will not receive payment on the Transaction Date. This applies regardless of whether the payment is a next-day payment, a future payment, or a recurring payment, as described above. Therefore, in order to provide sufficient time for payments to be received by your Payees, the Transaction Date should be at least seven (7) days prior to the date your payment is due, excluding any applicable grace periods (the "Due Date"). This allows the Payee to adjust to the new form of payment. You may schedule a payment to be initiated on any business day or any future date. Payments must be scheduled by the normal cut-off time of 6 p.m. (Central Time) on any business day in order for the payment to be initiated for that business day. Transfers must be scheduled by the normal cut-off time of 6 p.m. (CT) on any business day in order for the transaction to be completed on that business day.
For each payment submitted, you will receive a Scheduled Payment Confirmation, which will include a confirmation number. We suggest that you keep the confirmation notice until the payment has been received.
|
|
13. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
|
|
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we might be liable for some of your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable for instance:
Through no fault of ours, your account does not contain enough money to make the transfer or complete the payment;
The transfer or payment would exceed the balance in the deposit account you use for overdraft protection, or the credit limit on your overdraft checking line of credit, or the line has been closed;
- Your computer, the software, phone lines, or the bank’s computer systems were not working properly or were temporarily unavailable, and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or the payment;
- Circumstances beyond our control prevented the transfer or the payment, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. Such circumstances include telecommunication outages, postal strikes, fires, floods and other natural disasters;
- We have placed a “hold” on funds in your account or remitted funds to another party with your knowledge, pursuant to reasonable business procedures, or in compliance with legal process such as a garnishment, tax levy, court order, etc.
|
|
14. Canceling Payment
|
You may use your PC to cancel a payment up to 6 p.m. (CT) on the date when your payment is initiated ("Transaction Date"). There is no fee for canceling a payment Online prior to 6 p.m. A payment that has been sent may be recalled for a Stop Payment fee; however CSB will not guarantee the ability to recall an item.
|
|
15. Statements
|
