Bill Pay Enrollment

Please read the following Online Bill Pay Agreement carefully. At the end of the agreement you may choose "I Understand and Agree" or "I Do Not Agree".

This is your bill paying agreement with HomeTown National Bank.  You may use HomeTown National Bank’s bill paying service, Business Bill Pay, to direct HomeTown National Bank to make payments from your designated checking account to the Payees you choose in accordance with this agreement.  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 (the Account Rules).

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

HOW TO SET UP PAYEES/PAYMENTS

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 customer service representative.  You may add a new fixed payment to a Payee, only if the Payee is on your authorized list of payees, and by accessing the Service and entering the appropriate information.  Most other additions, deletions, or changes can be made in writing or by using the Service.  HomeTown National Bank reserves the right to refuse the designation of a Payee for any reason.  Each Payee accepted by HomeTown National Bank will be assigned a payee code.  You may pay any payee you wish in the US.  HomeTown National Bank is not responsible if a Bill Payment cannot be made due to incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information provided by you regarding a Payee, or if you attempt to pay a Payee that is not on your Authorized Payee list.

ACCESSING THE SERVICE

When you complete your bill paying enrollment form, you will select a User ID and Personal Identification Number (PIN).  HomeTown National Bank will make every effort to accommodate your request.  Each time you access the Service, you will be asked to enter your User ID and PIN.  Correct responses will give you access to the Service.

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 HomeTown National Bank, is currently 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time.  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 eight (8) business days, prior to the due date, for each bill payment to reach the Payee.  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 HomeTown National Bank.  HomeTown National Bank 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 HomeTown National Bank 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 HomeTown National Bank, at its option, may charge any of your accounts with HomeTown National Bank to cover such payment obligations.

HomeTown National Bank reserves the right to change the cut-off time.  You will receive notice if it changes.

LIABILITY

You are solely responsible for controlling the safekeeping of, and access to, your Personal Identification Number (PIN).  You are liable for all transactions you make or that you authorize another person to make even if that person exceeds his or her authority.  If you want to terminate another person's authority, you must notify HomeTown National Bank and arrange to change your PIN.  You will be responsible for any Bill Payment request you make that contains an error or is a duplicate of another Bill Payment.  HomeTown National Bank is not responsible for a Bill Payment that is not made if you did not properly follow the instructions for making a Bill Payment.  HomeTown National Bank is not liable for any failure to make a Bill Payment if you fail to promptly notify HomeTown National Bank after you learn that you have not received credit from a Payee for a Bill Payment.  HomeTown National Bank is not responsible for your acts or omissions or those of any other person, including, without limitation, any transmission or communications facility, and no such party shall be deemed to be HomeTown National Bank's agent.  In any event, HomeTown National Bank will not be liable for any special, consequential, incidental, or punitive losses, damages, or expenses in connection with this Agreement or the Service, even if HomeTown National Bank has knowledge of the possibility of them.  HomeTown National Bank is not liable for any act, failure to act or delay in acting if it is caused, in whole or in part, by any cause beyond HomeTown National Bank's reasonable control.

Amendment and Termination

HomeTown National Bank has the right to change this Agreement at any time by notice mailed to you at the last address shown for the Account on HomeTown National Bank's records, by posting notice at HomeTown National Bank, or as otherwise permitted by law.

HomeTown National Bank has the right to terminate this Agreement at any time.  You may terminate this Agreement by written notice to HomeTown National Bank.  HomeTown National Bank is not responsible for any fixed payment made before HomeTown National Bank has a reasonable opportunity to act on your termination notice.  You remain obligated for any payments made by HomeTown National Bank on your behalf.
