The Company has requested that the Bank permit it to utilize the Bill Payment Service to pay bills on an automatic recurring basis or as specific one-time payments.

General

The Company must designate one checking account as the bill payment account.  o use bill payment, the Company will provide the Bank with the name and address of the payee (i.e., the person/business to be paid), the Company’s account number with that payee, and any other information required to properly debit the Company’s account with the Bank and credit the Company’s account with the payee. If the Company’s account number or any other information changes, or if the Company wishes to add or delete payees, the Company must make the necessary changes in the appropriate fields through the Bill Payment section before 8 p.m. Central Time on the payment due date. The Bank may refuse to make payments to certain payees in its sole discretion and to payees that choose not to participate in the services.

Fees

The cost for the Bill Payment Service is $9.95 per month for unlimited bills. Other activity and maintenance fees may be charged to the Company’s account.

Bill Payments Processing

Bill payments are processed either through an electronic transmission to the payee or by check drawn on the Company’s account and mailed to the payee. Payees who receive electronic delivery will receive the Company’s payment information, including account number with the payee, through a computer link. All checks are sent through the US mail. Payments made with checks are generally received and credited by most payees within five to seven business days. If the Bank receives any payment instructions from a payee, the Bank may follow those instructions to help ensure that the payment is received by the payee and promptly credited to the Company’s account.

To help ensure that payments arrive on time, the Company must schedule payments at least five business days before the payment due date. This generally allows sufficient time for the payee to receive and post the payment.

Business Days

The Bank can process a bill payment on the same business day as the Company’s instructions, if the Bank receives the instructions before the cut-off hour of 8 p.m. Central Time on a business day. If payment instructions are received after 8 p.m. Central Time on a business day, or on a non-business day, the transaction will be processed on the next business day. If a bill payment is scheduled for a future date, the transaction will be processed after the close of business on that date if that day is a business day. If the date requested for a future payment is not a business day, the transaction will be processed on the business day immediately preceding the date requested. If a recurring bill payment is scheduled and the payment date does not exist in a month, the payment will be processed on the last business day of that month.

Cancelling Bill Payments

An instruction to cancel a pending bill payment must be received before 8 p.m. on the day the transaction is to be processed.

Overdrafts

When the Company schedules a bill payment, it authorizes the Bank to withdraw the necessary funds from the Company’s account. The Bank will deduct the amount of the bill payment from the Company’s account on the date the instruction is processed. The Bank may charge payments against the account even though the charge creates an overdraft, or the Bank may refuse to make payments if the charge creates an overdraft. If the Company’s account is overdrawn, it agrees to immediately pay the overdrawn amount, together with any applicable fees. If the account is maintained in connection with an overdraft protection/credit plan, any overdraft will be handled in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than this Agreement.
