Transaction Procedures
Bill Payments and Transfers may be processed in three different
transaction modes. They are as follows:
"Manual”. If you designate a payment or transfer as a "today" transaction, the scheduled payment date will be the next business day. However, sufficient funds must be available on the day and at the time you request the payment to be made. Bill Payments scheduled on “today’s” date may be canceled before 9 P.M. If “today’s” date falls on a weekend or holiday the transaction will be made the next business day.
"Scheduled”. If you designate a Bill Payment or Transfer as a "scheduled" transaction, you may request that the transaction be made on a future date that you designate up to 364 days in advance. The “send on” date entered will be the effective date, if the effective date falls on a weekend or holiday the effective date shall be the next business day. Sufficient funds must be available in your designated checking account at the time the withdrawal is attempted; typically your checking account will be debited for the transaction within two business days. "Scheduled" transactions may be canceled or changed until 9 P.M. of the night before the “send on” date.
"Automatic”. If you designate a Bill Payment or Transfer as an "automatic" transaction, you may request, and BankFive Bill Pay will use, a scheduled payment date that reoccurs on a specified regular basis (i.e. weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc). You will designate a "start on" date and "end on" date. In cases were a recurring payment falls on a weekend or Federal holiday it will be processed the preceding business day. If you are setting up a recurring payment for the first time to be processed on a Saturday it will be processed on the next business day.
Bill
Payments
Account
Designation and Payees. All Bill Payments you make through
BankFive Bill Pay will be deducted from your designated
checking account(s).
Any payee you wish to pay through BankFive Bill Pay must be payable in U.S. dollars and located within the United States or its territories. Each payee must appear on the payee list you create before you can schedule a payment. Tax payments, court ordered payments and payments made outside the U.S. and its territories are not supported, these are exception payments. If you attempt to make payments to any unsupported payees you must schedule them at your own risk, such payments are strongly discouraged. In no event shall BankFive Bill Pay be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling exception payments. The BankFive Bill Pay guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when exception payments are scheduled and or processed through BankFive Bill Pay. BankFive Bill Pay has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected exception payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of BankFive Bill Pay.
Processing
In
many cases, your Bill Payments are electronically delivered to
the payee within three business days of the Scheduled Payment
Date. However, some payees are not set up to accept electronic
payment. In these cases, a check will be sent, which may take
up to five business days to process and deliver to the payee.
BankFive Bill Pay provides an indication of how many days to
allow for each payee you designate. You must allow additional
time for the payee to process and record your payment prior to
the due date.
You must allow sufficient time 3 or 5 business days, as indicated online for BankFive Bill Pay to receive your request and process the bill payments so that the funds can be delivered to the payee before the payment due date or, for mortgage payments, on or before the due date (the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the payee, not taking into account any grace period provided by the payee). If you do not allow sufficient time, you will assume full responsibility for all late fees, finance charges, or other actions taken by the payee. If you schedule your payment with sufficient time, and the payment was not received by the payee, or was received late, BankFive Bill Pay will assume responsibility. BankFive Bill Pay will cover any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment arrive after the “deliver by” date as long as you scheduled the transaction in accordance with BankFive Bill Pay payment guarantee policy. The reimbursement for late payment related charges will be to you and not the merchant to whom the payment was issued.
BankFive Bill Pay is responsible only for exercising
ordinary care in making payments upon your authorization and
for mailing or sending a payment to the designated payee.
BankFive Bill Pay is not liable in any way for damages or fees
you incur if you do not have sufficient funds in your account
to make the payment on the processing date, if the estimate of
time to allow for delivery to the payee is inaccurate, or due
to delays in mail delivery, changes of merchant address or
account number, the failure of any merchant to account
correctly for, or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for
any other circumstances beyond the control of BankFive Bill
Pay.
In the event sufficient funds are not available in the
designated checking account when the payment withdrawal is
attempted, BankFive Bill Pay will attempt up to three times to
make the withdrawal for electronic payments. If the bill
payment was more than $500.00, was issued in the form of a
check and there were insufficient funds when the withdrawal was
attempted a stop payment will be issued and no further
withdrawal attempts will be made. If an insufficient funds
condition exists, your account will be charged an insufficient
funds fee for each withdrawal attempt as documented in the fee
schedule. As a result of the insufficient condition your
bill pay account will be blocked preventing you from making
more bill payments until the insufficient funds condition is
resolved with BankFive Bill Pay. Any future dated or automatic
recurring payments scheduled for release during the time the
account is blocked will not be sent. In all cases, you are
responsible for making alternate arrangements for the payment.
Once BankFive Bill Pay has recovered the funds owed the Bill
Pay service may remain blocked for an additional 5 to 10
calendar days. In the event your BankFive Bill Pay was blocked
any previously scheduled future dated transactions will have
been deleted from the system and you must reschedule them. If
you had any Automatic recurring payments set up for future
payment in BankFive Bill Pay these transactions will still be
set up in the system and will resume again once your BankFive
Bill Pay has been re-instated.
Right to Repayment
You
each agree that BankFive may (without prior notice and when
permitted by law) off set the funds in this account against any
due and payable debt owed to BankFive now or in the future, by
any of you having the right of withdrawal, to the extent of
such persons or legal entity’s right to withdraw. If the
debt arises from a note, “any due and payable debt”
included the total amount of which BankFive is entitled to
demand payment under the terms of the note at the time BankFive
processes the off set, including balance and due date for which
BankFive properly accelerate under the note. The right to off
set does not apply to this account if: (a) it is an Individual
Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account, or
(b) the debt is created by a consumer credit transaction under
a credit card plan or (c) the debtor’s right of
withdrawal arises only in a representative capacity. BankFive
will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the
dishonor occurs because BankFive off set a debt against this
account. You agree to hold BankFive harmless from any claim
arising as a result of the right of off set.
Transfers

savings, statement money market and certain lines of credit
accounts. These accounts must first be established in BankFive
Online Banking before transfers can be initiated. All the
accounts must be in your name.
Funds Availability. Although you receive immediate provisional credit upon completion of your BankFive Online Banking session for internal bank transfers funds may not be available for immediate withdrawal. Transfer made on a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday will be available the next business day. Transfers scheduled on “today’s” date cannot be canceled.

Available Funds Required.

canceled, or changed prior to 9 P.M. In order to request
a stop payment or change a transaction scheduled for a future

therein. You must cancel the payment using BankFive Bill Pay by
9 P.M. of the day before the scheduled payment date.
Authorization to Charge Accounts

account(s) for any transactions accomplished through the use of
BankFive Bill Pay, including the amount of any bill payment or
transfer that you make, and any charges for the service. You
authorize BankFive to process Bill Payments and to transfer
funds according to the instructions received from you through
BankFive online. You authorize BankFive Bill Pay to initiate
any reversing entry or reversing file, and to debit your
accounts at BankFive or elsewhere, in order to correct any
mistaken credit entry. You understand that if a bill payment or
transfer request describes the beneficiary inconsistently by
name and account number, execution of the request will occur on
the basis of the account number, even if it identifies a person
different from the named beneficiary. Further, BankFive and
other financial institutions to which a bill payment or
transfer request is forwarded may rely on any BankFive
identification number supplied by you as a means to identify
any other financial institution, even if the identification
number is different than the financial institution named by
you. Your obligation to pay the amount of the bill payment or
transfer to BankFive is not excused in such circumstances.
Security Procedures
A temporary BankFive Online Password will be assigned to you.
The temporary password will be used only the first time you

bill payment, transfer or other communication purporting to
have been issued by you is, in fact, yours. In reaching this
determination, you have considered the size, type and frequency
of bill payments, transfers or other communications that you
anticipate issuing to BankFive.
If the BankFive Online Banking security procedures are not, in
your judgment, commercially reasonable, you must inform
BankFive within 30 days. If the size, type and frequency on
your bill payments and transfers change, and the result is that
the BankFive Online security procedures cease to be
commercially reasonable, you must also inform BankFive of this
within 30 days as otherwise permitted in BankFive's Deposit
Agreement and Disclosures, by law, or as required by government
regulations.
