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 Bank5 Connect Bill Pay will use, a scheduled payment date that reoccurs on a specified regular basis (e.g. weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.) You will designate a "start on" date and an "end on" date. In cases where 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 Bank5 Connect Bill Pay will be deducted from your designated checking account(s).
Any payee you wish to pay through Bank5 Connect 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; please note that such payments are strongly discouraged. In no event shall Bank5 Connect Bill Pay be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling exception payments. The Bank5 Connect Bill Pay guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when exception payments are scheduled and/or processed through Bank5 Connect Bill Pay. Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect 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. Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect 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, Bank5 Connect Bill Pay will assume responsibility. Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect Bill Pay's payment guarantee policy. The reimbursement for late payment related charges will be paid to you, not to the merchant to whom the payment was issued.
Bank5 Connect 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. Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect Bill Pay.
In the event sufficient funds are not available in the designated checking account when the payment withdrawal is attempted, Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect Bill Pay, these transactions will still be set up in the system and will resume again once your Bank5 Connect Bill Pay has been re-instated.
Right to Repayment
You agree that Bank5 Connect may (without prior notice and when permitted by law) offset the funds in this account against any due and payable debt owed to Bank5 Connect (now or in the future) by you, or any other joint owner on the account, by 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" including the total amount of which Bank5 Connect is entitled to demand payment under the terms of the note at the time Bank5 Connect processes the offset, including balance and due date for which Bank5 Connect properly accelerate under the note. The right to offset 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. Bank5 Connect will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because Bank5 Connect offset a debt against this account. You agree to hold Bank5 connect harmless from any claim arising as a result of the right of offset.
Transfers

Funds Availability
Although you receive immediate provisional credit upon completion of your Bank5 Connect Online Banking session for internal bank transfers, funds may not be available for immediate withdrawal.

With respect to interest bearing savings accounts, and money market accounts, you may not make more than six transfers or withdrawals per month to another account of yours or to third parties, when these transfers are made by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephone agreement, order or instruction. If during the statement cycle, you exceed the Limitations on Frequency of Transfers, your account will be charged a fee as documented in the fee schedule for each withdrawal in excess in that statement cycle.
Available Funds Required
All Bill Payments and Transfers initiated through Bank5 Connect Online Banking and Bank5 Connect Bill Pay are subject to there being sufficient funds available in the designated account(s) to cover the payment or transfer on the scheduled payment date or when funds are attempted to be withdrawn.
Stopping or Modifying Online Banking Authorized Payments
Payments designated as "today" transactions can be stopped, canceled, or changed prior to 9 P.M.

You authorize Bank5 Connect Bill Pay to initiate any reversing entry or reversing file, and to debit your accounts at Bank5 Connect 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, Bank5 Connect and other financial institutions to which a bill payment or transfer request is forwarded may rely on any Bank5 Connect 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 Bank5 Connect is not excused in such circumstances.
