| 14.
| What happens if I do not have enough money in my account to cover the Online Bill Payment Service?
|
|
| Because we have paid the merchant before we attempt to debit your account, an NSF fee will be charged to your account. A second attempt will be made the following business day. If the second attempt is also unsuccessful due to insufficient funds, the account will be charged an additional NSF fee. No more attempts will be made and the payment will be sent to collections.
|
| Back to top |
| 15.
| How do I know if a payment was received?
|
|
| The debit to your account will be displayed in your transaction history no matter what the method of payment was. Since your account is not debited until your payment has been made, you can be confident that your payment has been sent when you see the debit to your account. If a payment was sent by draft then the check itself will show up in your transaction history once it has cleared. If the payment was sent via electronic payment or corporate check you are given a reference number to show that the payment was sent.

| Back to top |
| 16.
| What is the difference between an electronic payment, a corporate check, and a laser draft?
|
|
| An electronic payment is a paperless transfer of funds from your account to your payee's account. A corporate check payment is a paper check sent via the U.S. Mail, drawn on our Online Bill Payment Service provider's account (your account will be debited for the amount on the bill due date). A laser draft is also a paper check sent via U.S. Mail, but is drawn directly from your account.
