What is Online
Bill Pay?
Online Bill Pay is the bill payment feature of Eureka by Web that
lets you:
· Pay most
businesses and individuals anywhere in the United States.
· Schedule
single payments up to one year in advance.
· Set up
recurring payments (such as your mortgage, car payment, rent or
cable bill).
Has Electronic
Bill Payment been tested and in use for any length of time?
Yes, bill payment has been in use for years and uses the same
system relied upon for the processing of direct deposit and direct
payment.
How
much does Online Bill Pay through the Internet cost?
Bill
Pay is FREE for customers with a Eureka Bank personal checking
account. Any fees
associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to
apply. You are responsible for any telephone and Internet access
charges.*
Which of my
Eureka Bank accounts can I use to pay my bills?
You may use any eligible Eureka Bank checking account.
I initially
enrolled in Eureka by Web without Online Bill Pay, but would now
like to enroll in Online Bill Pay also. How do I enroll?
Log on to Eureka by Web and click on the "Bill Payment"
icon on any page. Complete the Bill Pay Enrollment Application
online and submit it electronically. You must click the check box
next to the terms and conditions to continue the application
process. You should review the terms and conditions by clicking on
the link provided. Upon approval, you will be notified how to
access this service by secure Bank Mail.
How do I set up
payments?
Once you log into the bill pay system you can search a database
for your payees or enter them manually. Entering payees manually
is simple and easy. You need only type in the payees' name,
mailing address, phone number, and your account number with them
(if you have one). You can make payments to anyone you wish within
the United States from the paperboy to your mortgage. You are
restricted from making Federal Tax payments, alimony, and child
support on the system.
I am attempting
to set up my payee and I get this message: The server was unable
to add the following account. Why?
The database has a format for account numbers with payees. The
number that you entered did not match the format on file for that
payee. You can either exit out of the database of payees and
create the payee manually or try again.
Format
Example: '431301'10N
This code tells you that your account number should start with
the numbers 431301 and then be followed by ten more digits
like this: 4313013012341234
How do I cancel
Online Bill Pay service?
You will need to ensure that all of your payments have been
processed. To cancel the service, you must notify us in writing by
mail or by our secure Bank Mail feature on Eureka by Web.
Who can I pay?
You can pay virtually anyone with a United States address using
the Online Bill Pay.
Can the bill
payment system make payments to payees that are not set up to
receive electronic payments?
Yes, the bill payment service provider will determine for you if
the payee accepts electronic payments or not and pay them
accordingly. Payments are either processed electronically or by
the issuance of a traditional check. You may even consider
contacting your payees to encourage them to accept electronic
payments.
How do I tell if
my payment was made electronically or by check?
The payee list has a column that
indicates the type of payment for each payee in your list.
Can I process
multiple payments to the same payee on the same day?
To protect you from double
payment errors the system will not allow duplicate items to be
processed on the same day. You may however, process multiple
payments to the same payees if they are for different dollar
amounts.
What types of
bills may NOT be paid through Online Bill Pay?
You cannot use Online Bill Pay to pay taxes or court-ordered
payments, or to settle securities purchases.
How are my bills
paid?
Payments are sent electronically or by check depending on the
merchant's arrangement with our processor. Sometimes a check may
be sent even if the payee accepts ACH payments.
Is my bill paid
when my account is debited?
Your payment is debited from your account the business day
following your designated payment date. This informs you that the
payment request has been processed, but the payee may not have
received it yet. To ensure payments are made in a timely fashion
please allow 5 business days for electronic payments to be
delivered and 7 to 10 business days for check payments. If you
follow these guidelines and a payment is processed late you may be
eligible for reimbursement of any late fees that you have been
charged up to $50.00.
What happens if I
issue a payment and my account does not have the funds to cover
it?
The bank will follow standard
procedures when a check is presented for payment against
insufficient or uncollected funds. Current policy requires that
the item be returned unpaid. The bill-payment service will
automatically be frozen until the situation is resolved. The item
will be submitted a second time. If the funds are still
insufficient at the time the check is resubmitted the collection
process will be initiated.
Can I schedule
recurring payments?
Yes. This feature allows you the convenience of scheduling
payments to be made on an ongoing basis. This feature is
especially convenient for setting up payments that are for the
same amount and made at regular frequencies like your mortgage
(every month), water bill (every other month) or car insurance
(twice a year).
You can schedule recurring payments to be made weekly, every other
week, twice a month, monthly, every four weeks, every other month,
quarterly, twice a year, and annually.
Can I place a
stop payment on a bill that has already been sent?
No. Once the payment has been processed, we cannot place a stop
payment. You can cancel a bill payment by deleting the payment
from the Pending Payment screen up until 3:00 p.m. on the Business
Day prior to the scheduled Transmit Date.
What are
"pending payments?"
Pending payments are payments you have scheduled through the
Online Bill Pay service, which have not yet been processed and
sent to the payee.
What is the
cut-off time to submit a bill payment?
The cut-off time for submitting payments is 3:00 p.m. on the
Business Day prior to the scheduled Transmit Date. Payments
submitted after 3:00 p.m. or on weekends or holidays will be
processed as if they were submitted on the next Business Day. A
Business Day is every calendar day except for Saturdays, Sundays
and bank holidays.
What is the
cut-off time to change or delete pending payments?
The cut-off time to change or delete a pending payment is 3:00
p.m. on the Business Day prior to the scheduled Transmit Date.
What are the
advantages of using Online Bill Pay rather than automatic
deductions for recurring bills?
Online Bill Pay provides customers with the same convenience as
automatic deductions from your checking account, including the
ability to set up and maintain automatic recurring monthly
payments. The advantage of using Online Bill Pay over automatic
deductions is that you have more flexibility and control over how
much you want to pay and when you want the payment to be made.
How should I set
up payments to Eureka Bank accounts?
Payments to Eureka Bank (for mortgages, home equity loans, etc.)
should be made using the Eureka by Web transfer feature. The
payment is made immediately and it does not cost you anything.
How far in
advance can I schedule a payment?
You can schedule a payment up to one year in advance.
What is the
maximum amount a payment can be?
The maximum amount of any one payment is the lesser of the current
available deposit balance in your payment account or $9,999.99.
How many payments
can I schedule in a single month?
You may schedule as many payments as you would like in a month.
Who do I call if
I need help?
