We cannot and do not warrant all data transfers utilizing Online Banking, or email transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.

Availability/Interruption.  You acknowledge that the actual time between occurrence of an event (“Event”) triggering a selected Control or Alert and the time the notification of such event is sent to Your mobile device (“Notification”) is dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, Your wireless service and coverage within the area in which You are located at that time. You acknowledge that Notifications of Events may be delayed, experience delivery failures, or face other transmission problems.

  3. In the event the electronic fund transfers initiated through Online Banking would result in an overdraft of your account and are not canceled, an overdraft charge will be assessed according to the terms of the agreement for that account and as disclosed in the Fee Schedule.

Sufficient available funds must be available at the time you request the transaction and at the time of each scheduled transaction.  "Recurring" payments may be changed or canceled at any time before the "Cutoff Time" of 9:30 p.m. Central Time on the processing date of the transaction. 

"Automatic" (Payees with e-Bills Only): If you establish automatic payment rules to pay your Payee(s), you authorize us to make payments to that specific Payee(s) automatically based on the rules you create without requiring your approval each time. If an e-Bill is presented for payment that does not meet the criteria of the rules you created, the Payments(s) will not be made automatically. "Automatic" payments may be changed or canceled at any time before the "Cutoff Time" of 9:30 p.m. Central Time on the processing date of the transaction. 

You also authorize Financial Plus Credit Union, and any third-party acting on Financial Plus Credit Union's behalf, to choose the most effective method to process your payments. You will receive a transaction confirmation number for each properly instructed payment. Unless you receive a confirmation number, Financial Plus Credit Union shall not be liable for any failure to make a payment. 

Payment Timing and Details. Any Payment Instruction you make to a Payee through the Service must be payable in U.S. Dollars and the delivery address must also be in the United States or its possessions/territories. Each Payee must appear on the payee list and your address must also be located in the United States or its possessions/territories.

You must allow sufficient time for the Payee to receive and process the payment before the payment due date. 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. Payments may take up to 10 days to reach the vendor (Payee) if indicated they will be paid by check. If the vendor has designated that they will accept electronic payments (the system will indicate how the vendor will accept payment), the payment can take up to 4 days to reach the vendor. Financial Plus Credit Union is not liable for any service or late charges levied against you. 

Financial Plus Credit Union is responsible only for exercising ordinary care in making payments upon your authorization and for mailing or sending a payment to the designated Payee. Financial Plus Credit Union is not liable in any way for damages you incur if the available balance in the primary checking account is insufficient to make the payment on the Scheduled Payment Date, or due to delays in mail delivery, changes of Payee address or account number, the failure of any Payee to account correctly for or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstances beyond the control of Financial Plus Credit Union. 

Financial Plus Credit Union or its third-party provider reserves the right to refuse to make any payments, but you will be notified of any such refusal within three (3) Business Days following receipt of your process date. 

Unprocessed Transactions and Blocked Accounts. Notice will be sent when transactions are not able to be processed because of an insufficient available balance. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through the Bill Pay Service. An insufficient available balance will prevent you from making more payments until fully resolved. Once the issue has been resolved and payment for the insufficient funds item has been collected, it will take 5 to 7 days for your bill payment account to become unblocked.Any payments that you have scheduled during the period that the account is blocked will not be made. You understand and agree that you will need to make alternative payment arrangements for any bills that were not paid as a result of the bill payment account being blocked. In addition, Financial Plus Credit Union may charge a fee, in accordance with Financial Plus Credit Union's Fee Schedule, for having an insufficient available balance or for any manual processing required to affect any payment authorized by you. 

Stopping Bill Payments. Stop payment requests can only be placed on bill payments processed as checks. There is a stop payment fee, which is set forth in Financial Plus Credit Union's Fee Schedule. In order to request a stop payment on a check payment, you must contact Financial Plus Credit Union at 815-433-1496. Stop Payments cannot be placed on any electronically processed payment transactions. Scheduled electronic payment transactions that have not yet been processed may be changed or cancelled in accordance with the procedures discussed above and before the applicable Cutoff Time listed above. 

E-Bills. E-Bills are a feature of the Bill Pay Service which allow you to receive bills electronically from participating Payees. Participating Payees establish their own criteria for reviewing requests to receive e-Bills and have sole discretion to accept or decline your request. Financial Plus Credit Union cannot and does not participate in the decision. Participating Payees may take up to five (5) Business Days to approve your request to enroll in e-Bills.  

Accessing E-Bills from a Third Party. In some cases, the Bill Pay Service will obtain e-Bills and information you authorized from the website of the Payee(s) you designate. To do so, you must provide the Bill Pay Service with the necessary information needed for this purpose, such as any username and required password. By doing so, you authorize Financial Plus Credit Union to retrieve the account information on your behalf and appoint Financial Plus Credit Union as agent for this limited purpose.  

Delivery of e-Bills. Financial Plus Credit Union takes no responsibility if a Payee does not provide the necessary data to forward an e-Bill in a timely manner. If you do not receive an e-Bill, it is your responsibility to contact the Payee directly. Financial Plus Credit Union is not responsible for any late charges or other adverse consequences. You must direct any questions you may have concerning the information contained within your e-Bills to the Payee directly. If you choose, you may set up an email notification to alert you when your e-Bills are delivered to the Bill Pay Service. 

Stopping E-Bills. All parties have the right to cancel e-Bills at any time. We will notify you if we discontinue or stop e-Bills.  

Fees. Financial Plus Credit Union may charge a monthly service fee for use of Online Bill Payment. The amount of the fee is set forth in Financial Plus Credit Union's Fee Schedule. Any applicable Bill Payment fees will automatically be deducted from the primary checking account at the end of every month. If Bill Payment fees apply, Financial Plus Credit Union will continue to charge the primary checking account monthly until the Bill Pay Service is discontinued. The fee is not refundable. If the available balance in the primary checking account is insufficient on the date the fee or charge is payable, you authorize Financial Plus Credit Union to automatically deduct the payment from the primary checking account or another account as soon as funds are available. You agree to pay any additional reasonable charges for services you request which are not covered by this Agreement. You are also responsible for telephone and Internet service fees you incur in connection with your use of Online Banking.
