contacts us for help with your ID or password, we can not
give any information to your spouse. You will need to call
us to unlock your account, reset your password,etc. |
| Q: |

I can make? |
| A: |
Yes,

as checking accounts, have no limits on the number of transfers
a client can make. However, savings accounts, by federal regulation,
are allowed no more than six electronic transfers per month. |
| Q: |
Can I use Internet Banking if I only have
a CD or Loan? |
| A: |
Yes.
If you have any account – CD, Loan, Savings, or Checking
product - you can get Internet Banking for FREE. You must have
a checking account to have Bill Payment. |
| Q: |

Online banking? |
| A: |
The
change can be made through a Central Bank Customer Service
Representative at 731-925-9046. |
| Q: |
How late can I make a Transfer and still
have it post to my account that day? |
| A: |
A
transfer can be made up to 4:00 P.M. Central Time during any
business day for that transaction to post that day. This includes
all transfers between deposit and loans. A transfer made after
4:00 P.M. will “memo post”, but will not actually
appear until the next business day. |
| Q: |
What is NetTeller Bill Payment? Is there
a fee? |
| A: |
NetTeller
Bill Payment is an Online bill payment system that allows our
customers to send an electronic check or check remittance to
any business/person within the United States. Central Bank’s
Online Bill Payment is FREE. Any additional fees will be deducted
from your checking account the day it is incurred (stop payments,
NSF fees, etc.). |
| Q: |
When can I start using NetTeller Bill Payment? |
| A: |
Once
you have enrolled in Central Bank’s Online Banking and
have received your Personalized ID and PIN, you can start
paying bills immediately. It is recommended that you pay yourself
first to see how the process works and what the checks look
like. |
| Q: |
How do I know what companies are in my database? |
| A: |
When
you are ready to begin paying bills, first click the Add Payee
button found in the Payees section of the NetTeller Bill Payment
page. Next, you can search the electronic payee database to
see if your payee is in the system: if not, your payment will
automatically be a check. When adding your payee information,
make sure you enter the payment address just as it appears on
your bill. |
| Q: |
What if the payee I want to pay isn’t
in the electronic payment database? |
| A: |
When
you do a search for an individual or for a company that isn’t
in the electronic database, you will be able to add them on
the Add Payee page. If you know the payee will not appear in
the database (individuals, smaller local companies, etc), you
can add them without searching the database first. These payees
will receive a check payment (remember to allow at least five
business days for these payments). |
| Q: |
How do I know if the payment will be made
electronically or by check? |
| A: |
If
you search the electronic database and a match appears it
means the payee accepts electronic payments. If no match appears,
that payee can be set up to receive a check payment. Any payees
not found in the database that you add will receive a check
and you will need to allow at least five business days for
these payments. If you forget which payees receives a check,
select Payees from the NetTeller Bill Payment menu for a list
of the payees and here you will see the Payee type. |
| Q: |
How much time do I need to allow for my
payments to be made? |
| A: |
Central
Bank recommends a three-(3) business day lead-time for electronic
payments and at least five-(5) business day lead time for a
check. Some payees do take longer to process payments that arrive
without remittance slips: in these situations you should allow
more time for your payments to be applied. If this occurs, you
should check with those payees to inquire if there is an alternate
address to use when a remittance slip is not enclosed. |
| Q: |
How does the Quick Payment feature work? |
| A: |
Just
click the Quick Payment button and then select the payees you
want to pay. Quick Payment lets you pay multiple payees at once
without accessing each one individually. This makes paying your
bills quicker and even more efficient. |
| Q: |
Will the memo field be printed on the check
sent to the payee? |
| A: |
Yes.
The memo field will be printed on payments remitted by check.
The account number that you entered when you added the payee
to your Personal Payee List is also printed on the check.
This allows the payee to know which account to apply the payment
to. |
| Q: |
Can I postdate single and/or recurring payments? |
| A: |
Yes.
Just set the payment date for any date in the future. Single
payments are actually set up in two categories: current and
future payments, which allow you to schedule payments in the
future or for the current date. If a monthly recurring payment
is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date is November
5th, a payment will be scheduled for the month of November and
the 15th of each month until the end date is reached. However,
if payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and and the current
date is November 16, the first payment will occur on December
15th. |
| Q: |
When will the funds be taken out of my checking
account? |
| A: |
For
check payments: the money will be withdrawn from your account
when the payment clears your account – just as if you
wrote a check from your checkbook. For electronic payments:
the funds will be withdrawn on the payment date.
|
| Q: |
Can I get a copy of a canceled check? |
| A: |
Yes,
you can print a copy of your canceled NetTeller Bill Payment
check as well as a check written from your checkbook: log
into Central Bank Online Banking and select “transactions”
from the activity section at the right of the account summary
you wish to view. Click on the check no. of the check you
wish to print (check no. will be underlined) and when viewing
your check you can right click on your mouse and select Print.
Also you can email a copy of your check or save it in a different
file or folder.
|
| Q: |
What happens if I have a scheduled payment
that falls on a weekend or a holiday? |
| A: |
Scheduled,
recurring payments that fall over a weekend will be processed
on the Friday before the payment date. For a payment scheduled
to be mailed the 10th of each month and if the 10th falls on
a Sunday, the payment will be mailed on Friday. Any new payments
submitted over the weekend (recurring or one-time) that are
scheduled to be processed that weekend, will be processed on
Monday. Holiday processing is done the same way; the scheduled
payment is processed the day before the holiday. |
| Q: |
How do I know if a merchant is electronic
or check? |
| A: |
Once
you set up the merchant, you can look at the VIEW PAYEES screen,
which includes a field that indicates if the merchant is electronic
or check. |
| Q: |
How far in advance should I set up a payment
to insure it is paid on time? |
| A: |
Check
payments should be scheduled at least 5 business days in advance
of when you want the payment to be posted at the payee. Electronic
payments should be made 3 business days in advance when you
want the payment to be posted at the payee. |
| Q: |
How long is history retained in the VIEW
PAYMENT HISTORY section? |
| A: |
Payment
History records are kept for one year. |
| Q: |
Is there any minimum and maximum payment
amount? |
| A: |
Yes.
The minimum payment is $0.01. The maximum amount is $9,999.00.
|
| Q: |
What does the “status” field
indicate on the PAYMENT HISTORY PAGE? |
| A: |
Status
Value: Payment Pending
Definition: The payment has been processed, but not yet sent.
Status Value: Payment Processed
Definition: The payment has been processed and sent.
Status Value: Hold
Definition: The payment has a research request on it and has
not been processed.
Status Value: Stopped
Definition: You have requested the payment to be stopped.
It cannot be processed again.
|
| Q: |
How late in the day can I add, edit, or
delete a payment?
|
| A: |
Daily there are two payment-processing
times: 2:00 AM and 12:00 PM. For payments that are scheduled
in advance, you may add, edit, or delete those scheduled payments
until 1:59 AM Central Standard Time (CST) the day the payment
process starts.
For example, if you enter the start
date of the 15th, you can make changes or cancel the payment
until 1:59 AM on the 15th.
If you would like a payment to be sent
the same day you are entering it, the information needs to
be entered by 12:00 PM CST. For example, if you are entering
a payment on the 10th at 10:00 AM CST to be mailed also on
the 10th, the payment will be mailed that day. However, if
you enter the same payment at 1:00 PM CST on the10th to be
mailed that day, the payment will actually be processed at
2:00 AM on the 11th.
Same day payments set up between 12:01
PM and 1:59 AM will be processed at 2:00 AM. Same day payments
set up between 2:01 AM and 11:59 AM will be processed at 12:00
PM.
Remember, the payment date is not the
date your bill is due, it is the date you want the payment
process to start (three business days prior to the due date
for electronic payments and at least five business days prior
to the due date for check payments).
|
| Q: |
What happens if I don’t have enough
money in my account? |
| A: |
NetTeller Bill Payment items are treated
just like any check you write or debit you authorize. Any
item that causes your account to be overdrawn will be assessed
a $20 per item NSF fee. You will receive an overdraft notice
in the mail each time items are paid. Overdrafts above and
beyond your established Bounce Protection limit may result
in a check or checks being returned to the payee.
