By furnishing us with the names of payees/merchants, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions to these payee/merchants that you provide us through Express Online Banking. When we receive a payment instruction (for a current or future date), we will remit funds to the payee on your behalf from the funds in your selected checking account. When Express Online Bill Payment Service receives a payment instruction, you authorize it to charge your checking account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close to the business day designated by you as reasonably possible. While it is anticipated that most transactions will be completed on the exact day designated, it is understood that due to circumstances beyond the control of Express Online Bill Payment Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments slow-responding companies or financial institutions, some transactions may take a day or even a few days longer.
For this reason, it is recommended that all payments transfers be scheduled to at least (5) seven business days before the actual due date, not the late date. Express Online Bill Payment Service will use its best efforts to process all your payments properly. However, Express Online Bill Payment Service shall incur no liability if it is unable to complete any payments initiated by you through Express Online Banking bill pay services.
You have the right to stop or change any scheduled payment. You must cancel the payment by no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, the night before the scheduled payment date, by using the DELETE function on the Express Online Banking "Payment Center" screen.

We will automatically delete all outstanding payment orders (all individual payments and all recurring payments) once we have been notified that your service has been terminated. We will continue to maintain your accounts until you notify us otherwise.

If any payment is rejected or reversed by us, you must resubmit it using the one-time process.
If you do not have sufficient funds in the Account, payment will be processed against the automatic Overdraft Protection program (OOPS) if you are eligible, and you will be charged the service fee.

Express Online Banking bill pay service is free.
You may place a stop payment on bill payments. Applicable fees will apply. Refer to the current schedule of fees.
If a properly scheduled payment is not received and posted on time by the payee, we will attempt to have any late fees or assessed finance charges removed. (Finance charges are calculated based on your payment amount rather than your entire balance.) If the payee is unwilling or unable to remove them, we will pay the fees and finance charges directly to the payee. In addition, we will attempt to have your account noted appropriately to ensure that the situation does not negatively impact your credit rating.
The Payment Guarantee applies to late fees and/or finance charges associated with the late posting of a payment, provided that the following conditions are met:
Payees are eligible for payment but are not guaranteed through this service include governmental agencies including but not limited to the Internal Revenue Service, all state and local tax authorities, collection agencies, as well as recipients of court-ordered payments like child support or alimony. Any organizations or individuals outside of the United States are also excluded. Payments to government agencies for utilities such as water are permitted.
If a payment is made to an excluded merchant, the Payment Guarantee does not apply and this service will not be liable for any fees or other penalties associated with that payment.
Payees in the Armed Forces Postal Codes
You can schedule payments to Payees that are located in the Armed Forces Postal Codes such as Armed Forces America (AA) and Armed Forces Europe (AE). While the United States Post Office identifies the Armed Forces Postal Codes within the range of standard domestic mail, the mail that is delivered to these Postal Codes are subject to delays at the military bases. Therefore, payments to Payees in the Armed Forces Postal Codes are not covered under the Payment Guarantee.
If a Properly Scheduled Expedited Payment (defined below) is not received and posted by the payee as of the scheduled payment date, you will not be responsible for any Penalties (defined below) that arise due to the failure of such payment to post on the scheduled date and we will refund you the service fee associated with such payment. We will first attempt to have any such Penalties removed, and if the payee is unwilling or unable to remove them, we will pay the fees and finance charges directly to the payee. In addition, we will attempt to have your payee account noted appropriately to ensure that the situation does not negatively impact your credit rating.
"Penalties" are defined as late fees or finance charges that are assessed on the Properly Scheduled Expedited Payment amount that did not post on the scheduled payment date, not those based on your total outstanding balance.
A "Properly Scheduled Expedited Payment" is defined as a payment that:
You are liable for all transactions you or your authorized users make, even if that person exceeds his or her authority. You will be responsible for any Bill Payment request you or an authorized user on your account makes that contains an error or is a duplicate of another Bill Payment. We are not responsible for your acts or omissions or those of any other person, including, without limitation, any transmissions communications facility, and no such party shall be deemed to be our agent. In any event, we will not be liable for any special, consequential, incidental or punitive losses, damages, or expenses in connection with this Agreement or the Express Bill Pay Service, even if we have knowledge of the possibility of them. We are not liable for any act, failure to act, or delay in acting even if it is caused, in whole or in part, by any cause beyond our reasonable control.
If you request that a Stop Payment be placed on a Bill Payment within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the date your account is debited, we will impose a Stop Payment fee. If a Payee whom you have designated does not receive electronic payments, the payment will be submitted via paper check on your behalf. You may not place a stop payment on a payment that has been processed entirely by electronic means.
