Bill Pay is a convenient way to pay all of your bills over the Internet. You can set up future and repeat payments as well as check the status of your payments. Payments are made electronically (ACH) whenever possible. If the merchant you are paying doesn’t accept electronic payments, a paper check is automatically prepared and mailed to them.

Q How much does Bill Pay cost?
A

The cost for Bill Pay is $4.95 per month, which includes twenty (20) bill payments, plus $0.40 per transaction over the first 20 each month.

This will allow you to see what the check looks like and verify all of the information on the check such as your name, address and account number.

A

Scheduled payments that fall over a weekend or a holiday will be processed on the next business day.

  Top of Page
   
Q How are payments debited (subtracted) from my account when made through the ACH network?
A

Payments made through the ACH (Automated Clearing House) network are debited from your account on the payment date you established for the payment. In other words, the date that you request the payment be made will also be the date the funds are debited from your account. We recommend you select a payment date at least three (3) business days before the payee’s payment due date to ensure the payment is received on time.

  Top of Page
   
Q How are payments debited (subtracted) from my account when made by check?
A

Payments made by check are debited from your account like any other check that you may write on your account. For example, a check will be debited from your account after the payee has received and presented the check for payment and the check is then processed by our bank. We recommend you select a payment date at least seven (7) business days before the payee’s payment due date to ensure the payment is received on time.

  Top of Page
   
Q When should I set up my payments to make sure they are paid on time?
A

You should allow three (3) business days for payments being made electronically. For payments being made by check, you should allow seven (7) business days. The payment method for each of your payees will be clearly identified as either “electronic” or “check.”

  Top of Page
   
Q How will I know what payments have been made?
A

Through UNION Saving BANK’s NetTeller, you will be able to view it once a payment has been made. The payment will also be clearly itemized on your monthly bank statement.

  Top of Page
   
Q What if my payee says they have not received my payment?
A

If your payee notifies you that a payment has not posted, please call the NetTeller manager at 1-815-235-0800. We will investigate the payment in question and will work to resolve the issue on your behalf.

  Top of Page

  Top of Page
   
Q Do I need to contact my payees to tell them I am using Bill Pay?
A

No. Using the Bill Pay service will not change the way your payments are credited or how money is debited from your accounts.

  Top of Page
   
Q Can I place a stop payment on a bill payment that I have already set up?
A

Yes. You can cancel an electronic bill payment at any time up until 12:00P.M. Noon CST on the business day prior to the payment date you established. Once the bill payment has been debited from your account, you CANNOT cancel or stop payment on a bill payment which has been paid electronically (ACH). You will have to contact our NetTeller manager by telephone to determine if the check has cleared. If the check has not cleared, we will immediately process a stop payment request. We will notify you if the check has already cleared. To be effective, this type of stop payment request must precisely identify the name of the payee, the payee-assigned account number, the amount and scheduled date of the payment, and the payee ID number from the Bill Pay “Payment History” screen. You will incur stop payment charges as disclosed in the current Fee Schedule.

  Top of Page
   
Q When are payments for Bill Pay processed?
A

Bill Pay payments are processed each day at 12:00 noon CST. Any payments entered up to that time will be processed the same day. If done after 12:00 noon CST or on a non-business day, the transaction will be processed on the next business day.

  Top of Page
   
Q How do I know if a bill will be paid electronically or by check?
A

When setting up payees, the payee type field will tell you if the payee is electronic (ACH) or paid by check.

  Top of Page
   
Q Can I edit a payee’s address?
A

No, you must set up a new payee with the correct address and delete the old one. However, deleting the old payee will remove the history of that payee. You can leave the old payee listed and retain your history of that payee.

  Top of Page
   
Q How far in advance can I schedule payments?
A

You may schedule payments up to 90 days in advance of the first due date. Recurring payments can have an end date of any year in the future.

  Top of Page
   
Q Can I have multiple payments to the same payee on the same day?
A

You can make multiple payments to the same payee as long as the payment amounts are different. For your protection, the system will not pay duplicate amounts to the same payee in the same day.

  Top of Page
   
Q What are the maximum and minimum payment amounts?
