Bill Payment Service The Bill Payment Service allows you to use your internet enabled device to direct payments from your designated online Bill Pay Account to third parties you wish to pay. If you choose to utilize the Bill Payment Service, you may begin initiating payments two weeks following the receipt of your online banking user code and password. Your Bill Pay Account is the account for which you are viewing transactions when initiating bill payment. Via the Bill Payment Service you may pay bills from your account to: Business Payees – any business, merchant, or professional that generates a bill or invoice for products or services provided to you on your behalf and that has an address we can verify Individual Payees – payments made to individuals, family, or friends for non-business purposes. Payment Initiation Date. Is the date you enter into the online banking system when setting up a bill payment. You may set up the following types of bill payments: Single Payments – a payment to be made to a payee one time Recurring Payments - payments of fixed amount to a single payee at recurring intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually). All payments you make will be deducted from the account you designate as your Bill Pay Account on the Payment Initiation Date. Any payments you wish to make through this service must be payable in U.S. Dollars to a payee located in the continental United States. We reserve the right to restrict types of payees to whom payment may be made using the service from time to time. You should not use Bill Payment ser vice to make payment to settle securities purchases, payments to interest bearing accounts, tax payments, or court ordered payments (e.g., alimony or child support payments). Payments for these payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly process or credited. Funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account, including overdraft lines of credit, on the scheduled Payment Initiation Date. If the Payment Initiation Date falls on a non-business day, funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account the following business day. After funds are withdrawn from your Bill Pay Account to make a payment, we may make the payments either by transferring funds electronically to the payee or by mailing the payee a check. If your Bill Pay Account does not have sufficient available funds to make a payment as of the payment Initiation Date, the pa yment will be canceled and no further attempt will be made by NorthSide Community Bank to make the transfer or payment. NorthSide Community Bank will attempt to notify you by e-mail or U.S. Postal Mail, but NorthSide Community Bank shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a transfer or payment because there are insufficient available funds in your account to process a transaction. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or reschedule the payment via Bill Payment Service. In the case of Recurring Payments, only the payment currently scheduled will be canceled. Recurring Payments scheduled for future dates will not be affected. You must schedule the Payment Initiation Date at least seven (7) business days before any Payment Due Date (that is the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the payee, not taking into account any applicable grace period). Otherwise, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other action taken by the payee. If the session during which you schedule a payment or transfer ends by 6:00PM Central Standard Time, NorthSide Community Bank will be considered to have received it on that day. Otherwise, it will be considered received the following business day. For all entries made using the service, the time recorded by the online banking service controls. The way to cancel or change a payment is to use the Bill Payment Service. Payments must be changed or canceled using the Bill Payment Service prior to 6:00PM CST on the business day the transaction is scheduled to be initiated. If you ask us to cancel a payment after it is issued and we agree to do so, we will charge you a stop payment fee to stop the bill payment. Stop Payment Orders, whether oral, written, or electronic, will be in effect for a period of six months. If request by NorthSide Community Bank, you will confirm any stop payment order in writing. After six months, any stop payment will terminate and must be renewed to continue in effect. NorthSide Community Bank may pay any item that is presented following the lapse of any stop payment order. NorthSide Community Bank is only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. NorthSide Community Bank will not be liable in any way for delays in mail delivery, for changes to the payee’s address or account number (unless you have advised us of the change sufficiently in advance), for the failure of any payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstances beyond the control of NorthSide Community Bank.
