Payments: You may add a new payment to a “Payee” by accessing the service and entering the appropriate information. Most other additions, deletions, or changed can be made in writing or by using the service.

The Bill Pay Process:

Single Payments: a single payment will be processed on the business day (generally Monday through Friday, except certain holidays) that you designate as the payments processing date. Provided the payment is submitted prior to the daily cut-off time on that date. The daily cut-off time, is currently 3 P.M.

A single payment submitted after the cut-off time on the designated process date will be processed on the next business day. If you designate a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays) as the payment’s processing date, the payment will be processed on the first business day following the designated processing date.

Recurring Payments: When a recurring payment is processed, it is automatically rescheduled by the system. Based upon your selected frequency settings for the payment, a processing date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment. If the calculated processing date is a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays’), it is adjusted based upon the following rules:

•If the recurring payment’s “Pay Before” option is selected, the processing date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date prior to the calculated processing date.
•If the recurring payment’s “Pay After” option is selected, the processing date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date after the calculated processing date.

Note: If your frequency settings for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th, or 31st as the particular day of the month for processing and that day does not exist in the month of the calculated processing date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated processing date.

Single and Recurring Payments:

The system will calculate the Estimated Arrival Date of your payment. This is only an estimate, so please allow ample time for your payments to reach your “Payee”.

Any payments made with the Bill Pay Service require sufficient time for your Payee to credit your account with them properly. To avoid incurring a finance charge or other charges, you must schedule a payment sufficiently in advance of the due date of your payment. If you fail to schedule your payment with adequate advance notice prior to the due date, the Credit Union will not be responsible for any late fees and/or finance charges assessed by the Payee against you. Sts. Margaret and Gregory F.C.U. will not be liable if any third party, through whom any payment is made, fails to properly transmit the payment to the intended Payee.

Available Funds:

You agree to have available and collected funds on deposit in the Account you designate in amounts sufficient to pay for all Bill Pay payments requested, as well as any other payment obligations you have to the Credit Union. The Credit Union reserves the right, without liability, to reject or reverse a Bill Pay payment if you fail to comply with the above requirement or any other terms of this Agreement. You further agree that the Credit Union, at our option, may charge any of your Accounts with us to cover such payment obligations. If you do not have sufficient funds in the Account and the Credit Union has not exercised its right to reverse or reject a bill payment, you agree to pay for such payment obligations on demand.
