Section 3. Bill Pay Service
- 1. You may use the bill paying service, Bill Pay, to direct us to make payments from your designated checking account to Payees you choose in accordance with this agreement. You may use Bill Pay once you have enrolled in and signed into Kinecta Direct.
-
- 2. There is no monthly or other periodic charge for the Bill Pay service. There may be a charge for additional transactions and optional services, as disclosed in the Schedules of Fees and Charges. Fees for rush/ expedited bill payments are disclosed at the time you elect for a rush/ expedited payment. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to charge first your Bill Pay Checking Account, and in the event there are not sufficient funds in the checking account, then your Share and Money Market Share accounts, for these amounts and any additional charges that you may incur.
-
- 3. You must be 18 years of age (or age of majority depending on the state in which you reside) to set up or use Bill Pay.
-
- 4. Bill Pay payments can be for any amount between $1.00 and $25,000; the Credit Union may change this amount temporarily or limit individual transactions on a case by case basis to protect you or the Credit Union from potential fraud or unauthorized transactions, but has no obligation to review or block transactions on this basis.
-
- 5. When you schedule a Bill Pay payment using Online Banking, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your checking account as designated in the Bill Pay service. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your designated account or the funds are available through your checking account overdraft source(s).
-
- 6. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Payee. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to pay the person or entity you designate. In addition, we will not be able to execute any bill payment if the Payee cannot or will not accept such payment.
-
- 7. Single Payments. A single payment will be processed on the business day (generally Monday through Friday, except certain holidays) that you designate as the payment's processing date, provided the payment is submitted prior to the daily cut-off time on that date. The daily cut-off time is currently 12:00 pm.
-
- 8. 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.
-
- 9. 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 not a Business Day, 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.
-
- 10. If your frequency settings for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th, or 31st as a 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 that is also a business day is used as the calculated processing date.
-
- 11. For both 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 Payees.
-
- 12. Cancelling Payments. A bill payment can be changed or cancelled any time prior to the cutoff time on the scheduled processing date.
-
- 13. We are not responsible for a bill payment that is not made if you did not properly follow the instructions for making a bill payment.
-
- 14. The risk of incurring and responsibility for paying any and all late charges or penalties with Payees is your responsibility. You must accurately enter Payee address, account number, and other information accurately. While it is anticipated that most transactions will be processed five (5) business days before your scheduled payment date, due to circumstances beyond our control, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by slow responding companies or financial institutions, some transactions may take a day or even a few days longer to post to your account with the Payee. You should schedule bill payments at least seven (7) business days before the actual due date with your Payee (not the late date and/or the grace period). You will be responsible for any bill payment request you make that contains an error or is a duplicate of another bill payment.
-
- 15. We are not liable for any failure to make a bill payment if you fail to promptly notify the Credit Union after you learn that you have not received credit from a “Payee” for a bill payment.
-
- 16. We are not responsible for your acts or omissions or those of any other person, including, without limitation, any transmission or communications facility, and no such party shall be deemed to be our agent.
-
- 17. As provided in the Agreements and Disclosures Booklet, there are some exceptions to our liability for not properly completing an EFT to or from your account on time or in the correct amount.
-
- 18. Provided that no exceptions are applicable, if we cause an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your account, or cause funds from your account to be directed to a person or entity which does not comply with your transfer or payment instructions, we will be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your account and for directing to the proper recipient any previously misdirected bill payments or transfers.
-
- 19. THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY RELATED TO THE BILL PAY SERVICE.
Part IV. Security
- 1. As provided in the Agreements and Disclosures Booklet, your Online Banking services may be accessed by a PIN (User Name) and Access Code (Password).
-
- 2. At registration for Online Banking, you will be prompted to provide a Password that is in compliance with the requirements provided upon enrollment. Passwords are case sensitive. Additionally, we recommend that you provide an email address and phone number to use for authentication and access verification. You may change your Password thereafter whenever you wish using Online Banking.
-
- 3. The loss, theft, or unauthorized use of any card number, account number, User Name, PIN, access code, Password, or other means to access your account ("Account Information") could cause you to lose some or all of the money in your accounts, including draws on your credit card or courtesy pay amounts. Additionally, it could permit unauthorized persons to gain access to your sensitive personal and account information and to use such information for fraudulent purposes.
-
- 4. If, at any time, you believe that your Account Information has been lost or stolen or the Service has been used or accessed without your authorization, you agree to notify us immediately.
-
- 5. You understand that if you disclose your account information to any person(s), you have given them access to your account(s) via the Service including the ability to review all of your personal and financial information and to engage in account transactions. All transactions that person performs, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions. Transactions that you or that person initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions. In such instances, you assume all risks and losses associated with such disclosure and you agree to be responsible for any transaction and activities performed from your accounts and for use of any of your personal and account information by such person(s). We are entitled to act on all transaction instructions received using your User Name and Password, which will have the same effect as your signature for the purpose of authorizing transactions. If you authorize anyone to use your account information in any manner, that authority will be considered valid until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying us in writing, and immediately changing your User Name and Password. You will be responsible for any transactions made by such authorized persons up to the time you notify us of the revocation and the User Name and Password have been changed.
-
- 6. For your protection, you should sign off after every session and close your browser to ensure confidentiality. To maintain the security and privacy of your account, we recommend that you periodically change your Password. Further, we recommend that you memorize your Password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your User Name, Password, account numbers and other account information confidential.
-
- 7. In our sole discretion, we may change the parameters for User Names or Passwords used to access the Service without prior notice to you. If we do so, you will be required to change your User Name or Password the next time you access the Service.
-
- 8. Your User Name and Password are established for security purposes. You understand that you cannot use the Service without a User Name and password. YOU AGREE THAT USE OF THE USER NAME AND PASSWORD CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE SECURITY PROCEDURE FOR ANY TRANSACTION. Your password acts as your signature. All transactions affected by use of Online Banking contemplated hereunder that would otherwise require your actual signature, or other authorization, will be valid and effective as if actually signed by you when accomplished by use of your User Name and Password(s) or as otherwise authorized under this Agreement.
-
- 9. If you fail to maintain the security of your User Name and/or Password and the Credit Union suffers a loss as a result, we may terminate your access to the Service immediately, as determined in our sole discretion.
