The Bill Pay Process
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, which is controlled by Bank, is currently 2:00pm CST.
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.
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 a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays), 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.
Note: 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 is used as the calculated processing date.
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".
Cancelling a Payment
A bill payment can be changed or cancelled any time prior to the cutoff time on the scheduled processing date. You should be sure to cancel any recurring payment in the event You cancel a payment. The Bank is not responsible for ensuring that future bill payments are canceled. Failure to cancel a recurring payment may result in overdrafts and overdraft fees being charged to Your account.

If You only partially Prefunds the amount of your credit Entries and does not indicate which Entries have been Prefunded, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, determine which Entries shall be considered to have been Prefunded, or may refuse to process all Entries.

Bank will make its best effort to obtain the form and will deliver it to You when received. You agree not to re-originate any transaction returned as unauthorized or as authorization revoked unless You reauthorize the Entry or Entry stream. In the event the rate of unauthorized transactions exceeds one percent (1%) based on the calculations noted in the Rules, You will share the data requested by the Bank based on the Rules and will immediately begin the process of bringing the rate below one percent (1%).
18. Periodic Statement. Entries transmitted by Bank or credited to a Receiver's account maintained with Bank will be reflected on Your periodic statement issued by Bank with respect to the Account pursuant to the account agreement between You and the Bank (the "Account Agreement"). You agree to provide Bank with Notice promptly of any discrepancy between Your records and the information shown on any periodic statement. If You fail to provide Bank Notice of any discrepancy within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a periodic statement containing such information, You agree that the Bank shall not be liable for any other losses resulting from Your failure to give such Notice or any loss of interest or any interest equivalent with respect to any Entry shown on such periodic statement.
