The terms and conditions of this Agreement are in addition to the Account agreements, disclosures and other documents in effect from time to time governing your account.

Account (the Account Rules)

"You" or "your" means each person who is authorized to use the service. "Payee" means anyone, including the Financial Institution, you designate and the Financial Institution accepts as a payee.

Complete a bill paying enrollment form. IF YOU WANT TO ADD A NEW PAYEE, USE "SET UP ACCOUNTS/PAYEE" ON THE INTERNET OR SPEAK TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE.

THE BILL PAYING 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 process 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 the financial institution, is currently 2:00 pm. A single payment submitted after the cut-off time on the designated process date will be processed on the following business day.  If you designate a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays) as the payment's process date, the payment will be processed on the first business day following the designated process 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 process date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment. If the calculated process 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 Backward" option is selected, the process date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date prior to the calculated process date. If the recurring payment's "Pay Backward" option is not selected (or if the "Pay Backward"option is not available), the process date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date after the calculated process 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 process date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated process date.

For Single and Recurring Payments, YOU MUST ALLOW AT LEAST FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE, for each bill payment to reach the Payee. (For mid west subscribers, allow 7 days and for west coast subscribers, allow 8 days.) Any bill payment can be changed or canceled, provided you access the Bill Pay Service prior to the cut-off time on the business day prior to the business day the bill payment is going to be initiated.

You agree to have available and collected funds on deposit in the account you designate in amounts sufficient to pay for all bill payments requested, as well as, any other payment obligations you have to Alpine Credit Union  Alpine Credit Union reserves the right, without liability, to reject or reverse a bill payment if you fail to comply with this requirement or any other terms of this agreement.  If you do not have sufficient funds in the account and the Financial Institution has not exercised its right to reverse or reject a bill payment, you agree to pay for such payment obligations on demand.  You further agree that Alpine Credit Union, at its option, may charge any of your accounts with Alpine Credit Union to cover such payment obligations.

The financial institution reserves the right to change the cut-off time. You will receive notice if it changes.
