All internal transfers completed after the transfer cutoff time on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, will be posted on the next Business Day.
Transfer between your Bankers Trust Accounts and your Accounts at Other Financial Institutions (External Transfers). An external transfer completed through the Service is sent via Automated Clearing House (ACH), allowing you to transfer funds to and from your eligible accounts at Bankers Trust and other eligible accounts held by you at other U.S. financial institutions. You may only request transfers between accounts that have the same owner(s) listed on each account. Transfers are only permitted between accounts held by consumers for personal, household, or family purposes. Establishing transfers to or from accounts held for business purposes is a violation of the Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (see “Terms and Conditions of ACH Services” below). For information about business account services, please call your account officer or Customer Service at 1-800-362-1688.
Transfer Limitations: External transfer transactions are limited to $9,999 per transfer, and $20,000 per month. External transfers over $500 will include an additional step that requires you to enter a confirmation code you are provided either by a telephone call placed to or a SMS text message sent to the telephone number you have on file with Bankers Trust.
You permit us to validate the external accounts through test transfers. Three low value transfers—two credits and one debit—will be posted to the external account. You can link up to three external accounts. You will be asked to confirm the amount of the test transfers before scheduling a transfer. We may also verify your external accounts by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of the account.
An external transfer will begin processing on the next business day. External transfers may take between 2 – 5 Business Days to post and settle. If an account has been open less than 30 days, the external transfers will not be available for 5 Business Days after the date the transfer is posted, and not available for 2 Business Days after the transfer is posted for accounts open more than 30 days.
Terms and Conditions of ACH Services: The Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA Rules”), as amended from time to time, are applicable to automated clearing house transactions (“ACH Entries”) to external transfer accounts. Credit given by us to the Bankers Trust account and with respect to the ACH Entry, is provisional until we receive final settlement for such ACH Entry thought the Federal Reserve Bank or otherwise have received payment as provided by law. If we do not receive such final settlement, we may charge back against the account. Under NACHA Rules, we are not required to give notice to you of receipt of the ACH Entry, and we may not do so. Your rights and obligations with respect to each ACH Entry will be governed by NACHA Rules, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, by the laws of the State of Iowa and must comply with the provisions of all applicable laws.

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS – YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Consumer liability. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Internet Banking credentials (user name and/or password) or other means of accessing your account(s) have been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission. Telephoning is the best way to keep possible losses to a minimum. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your Internet Banking credentials or other means to access your account have been lost or stolen, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your account without your permission.
If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your Internet Banking credentials or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your monthly account statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.
Contact in the event of unauthorized transfer. If you believe your Internet Banking credentials or other means of accessing the account(s) have been lost or stolen, call:
1-800-362-1688
Or, write:
Bankers Trust, Customer Service Department
453 7th Street, P.O. Box 897

Bill payments and People Pay transfers: Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so.
For bill payments, you may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the Service. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Service has begun processing a bill payment, it cannot be canceled or edited. A stop payment request must be submitted. See the next paragraph for procedures and limitations on stop payment requests.
If you have scheduled a People Pay transfer, you generally cannot stop payment after you click the submit button. Account-to-account transfers are processed immediately. For Recipient Chooses transfers, you may be able to stop payment if the recipient has not picked up the payment yet.
As noted previously, the Service’s ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method. The Service may not have reasonable opportunity to act on a stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Service at 1-800-362-1688, Monday through Friday 7:30 am – 6:00 pm CT, and Saturday 8:00 am – 12:00 pm CT. Although the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as disclosed in the Bankers Trust Fee Schedule provided to you when you opened your account.
Financial institution’s liability. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages; however, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
- If the system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- There may be other exceptions in our agreement with you.
Please see also the Payment Authorization and Remittance—Financial Institution Liability and Limitation of Liability for Bill Payments sections later in this document.

For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign- initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 Business Days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

The device must capture an image of the front and back of each check to be deposited in accordance with the procedures; must read and capture the magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) line on each check; and must read and capture all such other data and information as is required by these Terms & Conditions or Federal Reserve regulations for the processing of these checks for payment including the appropriate endorsement for such a deposit. See the section titled Restrictive Endorsements and Procedures below for complete endorsement instructions. Your account must be open a minimum of 30 days prior to using the Express Deposits services. The services will verify account eligibility each time a deposit is initiated.

Endorsements must be made on the back of the check within 1½ inches from the top edge. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of Express Deposit as Bankers Trust may establish from time to time.
Failure to endorse the item as described may result in your deposit being rejected.
Any loss Bankers Trust incurs from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility, including any duplicate presentment caused because a check did not contain the proper restrictive endorsement identifying it for mobile deposit at Bankers Trust only. See Presenting Checks More Than Once section below for further information.
Check Requirements and Image Quality:
The image of an item transmitted to Bankers Trust using EXPRESS DEPOSIT must be legible and contain images of the front and back of the check. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house, clearinghouse or association. These requirements include, but are not limited to, ensuring the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of the check image: the amount of the check (both written and numeric); the payee; the signature of the drawer (maker); the date; the check number; the information identifying the drawer and the paying financial institution that is preprinted on the check including the MICR line; and all other information placed on the check prior to the time an image of the check is captured (such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check).
Rejection of Deposits:
After Bankers Trust receives check images and all other required deposit information from you through Express Deposit, we shall provisionally credit your designated account for the total amount of such checks. The provisional credit is subject to final payment of the checks and is also subject to your account agreement. You agree that all deposits received by Bankers Trust are subject to verification and final inspection and may be rejected by us in our sole discretion, and you shall be liable to Bankers Trust for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against Bankers Trust relating to such deposits. Bankers Trust is not liable for any service or late charges that may be imposed against you due to rejection of any check that you transmit for deposit through Express Deposit. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft, plus any applicable fees to your account due to a check being returned. You acknowledge and agree that, while Bankers Trust normally provides notice of rejected deposits, we may reject any check transmitted through Express Deposit in our sole discretion without notice to you, and we will not be liable for any such rejection or failure to notify you of such rejection. If Bankers Trust rejects a check for remote deposit, please bring the check to any of our offices for review.
Ineligible Checks:
International checks, traveler’s checks, and money orders are not eligible to deposit using Express Deposit. These checks should be deposited in person at any of our offices.
Availability of Funds:
Funds from your deposits will be made available as detailed in the Your Ability to Withdraw Funds section of your account agreement. Funds from your deposit may be delayed for a longer period under certain circumstances. See the Longer Delays May Apply section of your account agreement for complete details.
Unpaid Checks:
Should you fail to produce the original check and your deposit has been returned for any reason, you authorize us to deduct that amount from your account. You are solely responsible for verifying that checks that you deposit by using Express Deposit have been received and accepted for deposit by Bankers Trust. Bankers Trust will provide you with notice of any deposits that it is unable to process because checks were returned unpaid by the payor financial institution. You agree to accept such notices at your email address on file with us, but we may choose any reasonable method for providing such notices to you. In the event that Bankers Trust credits your account for a check that is subsequently dishonored and returned, you authorize Bankers Trust to debit the amount of such check plus any associated fees from the account. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any of your other account(s) with Bankers Trust in our sole discretion. Our right to charge your account(s) will apply without regard to whether the check was timely returned or whether there is any other claim or defense that the check was improperly returned. You understand and agree that since the original check is your property, it will not be returned and Bankers Trust may charge back an image of the check, an ACH debit, or other electronic or paper debit, as applicable, to your account. You further agree that any image that we charge back may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check. You may not use Express Deposit to deposit a substitute check and you may not deposit the original check through Express Deposit or in any other manner if you receive a dishonored check. You agree to comply with any additional instructions Bankers Trust may provide to you in connection with returned checks.
Duty to Report Errors:
Bankers Trust will provide you with periodic statements that will identify the deposits that you make through Express Deposit. In addition, you may access Bankers Trust’s Internet Banking service for information about your deposits, nonsufficient funds (NSF) item, deposit adjustments, checks and other transactions on your accounts. You agree that it is your responsibility to review all such information that Bankers Trust makes available to you in a timely manner to verify that deposits made through Express Deposit have been received and accepted by Bankers Trust and are accurate. Receipt of a check by Bankers Trust through Express Deposit does not constitute an acknowledgement by Bankers Trust that the check is error-free or that we will be liable for the check. You agree to notify us promptly of any errors, omissions, or discrepancies in a deposit within the time periods established in your account agreement. You may notify us by emailing us at [email protected], or writing to Bankers Trust, Attn. Customer Service, P.O. Box 897, Des Moines, IA 50304 or telephoning us at 1-800-362-1688. To maintain the security of your account(s), do not include any personal financial information in an e-mail transmission. You agree to cooperate in any investigation by Bankers Trust of any unsuccessful or lost transmission. Subject to applicable law, any failure by you to notify Bankers Trust of any error, omission or other discrepancy in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and your account agreement shall relieve us of any liability for such error, omission or discrepancy.
Availability of Service/Contingency:
In the event you are unable to use Express Deposit or otherwise comply with the terms or the procedures for any reason, including but not limited to, communications, equipment or software outages, interruptions or failures, you will transport or mail the originals of all checks to the closest Bankers Trust location. The deposit of original checks at an office of Bankers Trust shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the account agreement and not by the terms of these Terms & Conditions. Failures or outages will not result in the imposition of liability on Bankers Trust. You understand that outages, interruptions, and failures are possible and assume the risk associated with the same.
Storage, Security and Destruction/Disposal of the Checks:
After you receive confirmation that Bankers Trust has received an image, we recommend you securely store the original check for 15 days after transmission to us and make the original check accessible to us at our request. Upon Bankers Trust’s request from time to time, you will deliver to us within two Business Days (any Monday through Friday that is not a federal holiday), at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. Promptly after the 15-day retention period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of the original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check. You agree that you will never represent the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.
Presenting Checks More Than Once:
Once you have used Express Deposit to deposit a check you agree not to present, or allow anyone else to present, that original check or a substitute check of that original check again for deposit through Express Deposit or by any other means. If you or anyone else present a check or substitute check for deposit more than once, in violation of these Terms & Conditions, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold Bankers Trust harmless from and against all liability and damages that may result from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to such check or substitute check. You agree that Bankers trust may debit from your account the aggregate amount of any checks that that are deposited more than once. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any other of your account(s) with Bankers Trust in our sole discretion.
Your Authentication Method:
You agree that Bankers Trust is entitled to act upon instructions we receive with respect to Express Deposit under your user ID, password, or other code or authentication method that we require (these components are referred to herein collectively as your “Authentication Method”). You are liable for all transactions made or authorized with the use of your Authentication Method. Bankers Trust has no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person who uses your Authentication Method. You agree that if you give any component of your Authentication Method to anyone or fail to safeguard its secrecy, you will be in violation of your obligations under your account agreement and these Terms & Conditions. You agree to take appropriate steps to ensure that all components of your Authentication Method are protected and kept confidential. You agree to indemnify and release Bankers Trust from any and all liability, and agree not to make any claim or bring any action against us, relating to our honoring or allowing any actions or transactions that are conducted under your Authentication Method or acting upon instructions, messages or authorizations provided to us using your Authentication Method. By accessing Express Deposit with your Authentication Method, you authorize Bankers Trust to complete the requested transaction(s) through Express Deposit. Any requests or instructions Bankers Trust receives from you through Express Deposit using your Authentication Method shall be considered “in writing” under all applicable law and shall have the same force and legal effect as a writing signed by you. This includes, but is not limited to, inquiries, deposit transactions, checks deposited, check images, changes to accounts or services or any other communication you provide us through Express Deposit using your Authentication Method.
Data Security:
It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. You will notify Bankers Trust immediately by telephone at 1-800-362-1688 and with written notice at Bankers Trust, Attn. Customer Service, P.O. Box 897, Des Moines, IA 50304, if you learn of any loss or theft of original checks. You will ensure the safety and integrity of original checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction. If warranted in our reasonable judgment, Bankers Trust may audit and monitor your deposits, and you agree to cooperate with us to permit such monitoring, to confirm that you have satisfied your obligations under these Terms & Conditions. By utilizing the services, you understand and accept the risks associated with the transmission of your check and data until it is received by Bankers Trust.
Cooperation with Investigations:
You agree to cooperate with Bankers Trust in the investigation of unusual transactions, poor quality transmissions, and resolution of customer claims, including by providing, upon request and without further cost, any originals or copies of items deposited through Express Deposit in your possession and your records relating to such items and transmissions.
Additional Terms and Conditions of the Bill Payment (Bill Pay) Service
You may, at your option, enroll in Bill Pay Service in conjunction with your Internet Banking Service. Bill Pay allows you to pay your bills through your Internet Banking Service.
SERVICE DEFINITIONS
- Agreement means these terms and conditions of the Bill Pay Service and all of the terms and conditions provided previously in the Bankers Trust Internet Banking Service Agreement.
- Biller is the person or entity to which you direct a bill payment, or is the person or entity from which you receive electronic bills, as the case may be.
- Payment Instruction is the information provided by you to the Service for a bill payment to be made to the Biller (such as, but not limited to, Biller name, Biller account number, and scheduled payment date).
- Business Day is every Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
- Send On Date is the day your Scheduled Payment will be deducted from your Payment Account.
- Deliver By Date is the date on which your payment will be delivered. You should schedule your payment to be delivered by (or before) the due date reflected on your Biller statement for which the payment is due, not including the late date or grace period.
- Payment Account is the checking account from which bill payments will be debited.
- Scheduled Payment is a payment that has been scheduled through the Service but has not begun processing.
- Service means the Bill Pay Service provided by Bankers Trust.
PAYMENT SCHEDULING
The earliest possible Deliver By Date for each Biller—typically four (4) or fewer days from the current date—will be designated on the calendar within the application when you are scheduling the payment. You should select a Deliver By Date that is prior to or no later than the actual due date reflected on the Biller’s statement. If the due date falls on a non-Business Day, you should select a Deliver By Date that is on a Business Day before the due date. Your Scheduled Payment will be deducted from your Payment Account on the Send On Date and will be posted with the description “Electronic Bill Pay.” Generally, if you do not have sufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the Scheduled Payment on the Send On Date, the payment will not be processed. However, if the Scheduled Payment is processed and your account becomes overdrawn as a result, the overdraft transactions will be subject to overdraft fees as disclosed in the Service Fee Schedule.
Transfer Limitations: Each Scheduled Payment is limited to no more than $9,999 and you may schedule no more than $20,000 in payments in one Business Day.
THE SERVICE GUARANTEE
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some bill payments may take longer to be credited. The Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50 should a payment post after its Deliver By Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under Payment Scheduling in this Agreement.
PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND REMITTANCE—FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S LIABILITY
By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.
When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Service to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Deliver By Date designated by you. You also authorize the Service to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Service.
The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of the Service, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your payment instructions, the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper biller any previously misdirected transactions, and if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
CHANGES TO PAYMENT ACCOUNT
Any changes in your Payment Account can be made by clicking on the Customer Service tab and selecting Customize Your Accounts. All changes made are effective immediately for scheduled and future payments paid from the updated Payment Account information. The Service is not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Payment Account or contact information.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR BILL PAYMENTS
You agree that, except as expressly stated above, there is no warranty of merchantability, no warranty of fitness for a particular use, and no warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the information or any aspect of the Services.
In addition to the circumstances detailed above under Payment Authorization and Remittance, Bankers Trust will not be held liable for failure to properly complete a bill payment in the following instances:
- If there is a hold on your account, or if access to your account is blocked, in accordance with banking policy.
- If your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting the transfer.
- If your payment authorization terminates by operation of law.
- If you believe someone has accessed your account(s) without your permission and you fail to notify Bankers Trust as detailed in the Electronic Fund Transfers – Your Rights and Responsibilities section.
- If we received incomplete or inaccurate information from you or a third party involving the Account or Payment Instruction.
- If Bankers Trust has a reasonable basis for believing that unauthorized use of your Internet Banking credentials or account(s) has occurred or may be occurring.
- If you are in default of this Agreement and its terms and conditions or any other agreement you have with Bankers Trust.
- If a Biller refuses to accept a payment,
- If you attempt to make alimony, child support or other court-directed or tax payment.
- If Bankers Trust, or you, terminate this Agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that Bankers Trust will not be liable for any losses resulting from circumstances over which we have no direct control, including, but not limited to, the failure of electronic or mechanical equipment, communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, operator error, log-in sequences, power outages, severe weather, earthquakes, floods or other such events deemed acts of God. Further, you acknowledge that there are other means and methods for accessing the information in your account(s) and conducting transactions. In the event that you should experience problems accessing the Services, you will attempt to access such information and conduct such transactions by alternative means and methods.
There may be other exceptions stated in this Agreement and with other agreements you have with Bankers Trust. In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages you may incur.
PROHIBITED PAYMENTS
Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Service.
EXCEPTION PAYMENTS
Tax payments and court-ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service; however, such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall the Service be liable for any claims or damages resulting from you scheduling these types of payments. The Service Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service. The Service has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Service.
BILLER LIMITATION
The Service reserves the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you direct a payment. The Service will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment or an exception payment under this Agreement.
PAYMENT METHODS
The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include, but are not limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment (funds remitted to the Biller are deducted from your Payment Account when the laser draft is presented to your financial institution for payment).
FAILED OR RETURNED TRANSACTIONS AND PAYMENTS
In using the Service, you are requesting the Service to make payments for you from your Payment Account. If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your account to cover the transaction), the transaction will not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from the Service. In such case, you agree that:
- You will reimburse the Service immediately upon demand the transaction amount that has been returned to the Service;
- For any amount not reimbursed to the Service within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge equal to 1.5% monthly interest or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower, for any unpaid amounts may be imposed;
- You will reimburse the Service for any fees imposed by your financial institution as a result of the return; and
- You will reimburse the Service for any fees it incurs in attempting to collect the amount of the return from you.
In using the Service, you understand that Billers and/or the United States Postal Service may return payments to the Service for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Biller’s forwarding address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is paid in full. The Service will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller, or void the payment and credit your Payment Account. You may receive notification from the Service.
BILL PAY SERVICE TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION
In the event you wish to cancel the Service, notify us as outlined in Termination or Discontinuation above. Any payment(s) the Service has already processed before the requested cancellation date will be completed by the Service. All Scheduled Payments, including recurring payments, will not be processed once the Service is cancelled. The Service may terminate or suspend Service to you at any time. Neither termination nor suspension shall affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement.
ELECTRONIC BILL DELIVERY AND PRESENTMENT
We have established relationships with hundreds of Billers nationwide that can send us an electronic version of your bill. The electronic versions of the bills typically contain the same information that is included in paper bills. If you select this service, it is your sole responsibility to contact the Billers directly if you do not receive your statements. In addition if you wish to activate the electronic bill option for any of your Billers, you agree to the following:
Information Provided to the Biller – The Service is unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name, address, telephone numbers, and email addresses, with the electronic Biller. Changes must be made by contacting the Biller directly. Additionally it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else’s information to gain unauthorized access to another person’s bill. The Service may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your email address, service address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller at the time of activating the electronic bill for that Biller, for purposes of the Biller informing you about Service and/or bill information.
Activation – Upon activation of the electronic bill feature, the Service may notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic bills. The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. While your electronic bill feature is being activated, it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current. Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.
Authorization to Obtain Bill Data – Your activation of the electronic bill feature for a Biller shall be deemed by us to be your authorization for us to obtain bill data from the Biller on your behalf. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your username and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain your bill data.
Notification – The Service will use its best efforts to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the Service, the Service may send an email notification to the email address listed for your account or a SMS text message if you have provided a Text Message Phone. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically log in to the Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
Cancellation of Electronic Bill Notification – The electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. The Service will notify your electronic Biller of your change in status and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. The Service will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.
Non-Delivery of Electronic Bill(s) – You agree to hold the Service harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
Accuracy and Dispute of Electronic Bill – The Service is not responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). The Service is only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be addressed with the Biller directly.
This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Billers.
