Scheduling Payments 

You must select the Scheduled Payment Date for any payment, or specify a payment rule in the system that automatically selects this date for you. The system will inform you of the Processing Period required for the payment and will prevent you from selecting a Scheduled Payment Date if we will not have enough time to complete the Processing Period for that payment prior to that Scheduled Payment Date. To avoid additional interest and charges, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Payee statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. If you select a Scheduled Payment Date that occurs after the Due Date, we are not responsible for any late charges that you may be charged by the Payee. There are maximum dollar limits for single payments or transfers and cumulative payments and transfers. The maximum dollar amount for any single payment or transfer is $9,999.99, except for Basic Checking which has a lower amount. The maximum dollar amount for cumulative payments or transfers in a single day is $20,000, except for Basic Checking which has a lower amount. The Basic Checking account maximum dollar amount for any single payment or transfer is $2,500 and the Basic Checking account maximum dollar amount for cumulative payments or transfers in a single day is $5,000. We may also refuse to permit any bill payment if we reasonably believe such refusal is necessary or advisable for security reasons, or in our reasonable discretion.

Services Guarantee

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Credit Union, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Payees or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account. The Credit Union will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under "Scheduling Payments" above, and we have issued you a confirmation number for a payment, unless we are not responsible to you for one of the reasons listed below. We may require that you provide us with satisfactory written documentation of any late fees before making reimbursement to you.
We may set an expiration date for any payment check we issue from our own account. If we do this, we may stop payment of the check if the payee does not cash the check on or before the expiration date. We will then notify you and issue a credit to your Payment Account for the amount of the check.
We are not responsible for any failure to complete or delay in completing any payment due to any of the following:

  1. Your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the payment or the charge is rejected or returned by your bank or financial institution.
  2. Your Payment Account is closed.
  3. The payee rejects or returns the payment for any reason.
  4. Your equipment, software or any communications link is not working properly.
  5. The Services are down and you know or we have told you about the problem before you send the payment.
  6. You have provided us with incorrect information about the payee you wish to pay, scheduled the payment incorrectly or incorrectly scheduled the number of days before the Due Date.
  7. The payee mishandles or delays handling or posting any payment we send.
  8. Circumstances beyond our control (for example, fire, flood, interference from an outside source, wars, acts of enemies, strikes, lack of available resources from persons other than the parties to this Agreement, labor disputes, electrical equipment or availability failure, Acts of God, federal, state or municipal action, statute, ordinance or regulation postal or overnight carrier delays) prevent or delay the transfer or payment from being completed.
  9. Your breach of this Agreement.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if we cause an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account, or if we cause funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Payee which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, we shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for late payment related charges to the extent described above. THIS IS OUR ONLY OBLIGATION TO YOU FOR ANY PAYMENT DELAYS OR FAILURE. IN ADDITION, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES OR IF YOU DO NOT ALLOW US ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETE A PAYMENT, YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PENALTIES OR LATE CHARGES ON THAT PAYMENT.
If we duplicate a payment or process a payment for an amount higher than you requested, we will use our reasonable best efforts to recover the overpayment from the Payee. If we can recover an overpayment that was charged to your Payment Account, we will return the amount of the overpayment to you. However, in certain situations, we may have funded the overpayment from our own account. In that case, if the overpayment caused a credit to your account with the Payee and we are unable to recover the overpayment from the Payee, we will notify you of that fact and you will be responsible to make appropriate arrangements with the Payee to receive a refund of the credit or have it applied against future balances. You are responsible to reimburse us for any funds we have paid to a Payee on your behalf. Pursuant to our agreement with the Provider, the Provider has the right to seek reimbursement from you for these funds.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

We will only disclose information about you to third parties if:

  1. it is necessary to complete a transaction;
  2. it is necessary to verify the existence and condition of your deposit account;
  3. it is necessary to comply with a governmental agency or court order;
  4. you give us your written permission;
  5. you ask us to assist with posting of a payment at a payee;

The availability of the Services may be subject to interruption and delay due to causes beyond our reasonable control and scheduled maintenance.

Changes to the Services and this Agreement 

We reserve the right to change the Services and this Agreement, including fees, in our sole discretion and from time to time. In such event, the Credit Union shall provide notice to you. If you do not agree to any amendments after receiving a notice of the change to the Services, you may stop using the Services and terminate this Agreement as described below. Your use of the Services after you are notified of any change(s) will constitute your agreement to such change(s). Further, the Credit Union may, from time to time revise or update the applications, services, and/or related material. Such actions may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, the Credit Union reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the applications, services, and or related material and limit access to only the Credit Union’s most recent revisions and updates.

Method of Payment 

We will make payments for you either electronically, or using a Direct Check drawn on your account.

Authority to Charge Your Account 

You authorize us to charge any of your deposit accounts in order to fund payments that you initiate using the Services. Such charge may take the form of a Direct Check, an ACH Debit, or other form of electronic transfer, in our sole discretion. You will designate a Payment Account and you agree to maintain a balance in that account that is sufficient to fund all payments you initiate. You represent and warrant that you have the right to authorize us to charge the Payment Account for payments you initiate using the Services and you will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims by any other owner of the account. You also agree that we are not responsible for any overdraft or insufficient fund situation or charge (including, but not limited to, finance charges, late fees or similar charges) caused by your failure to maintain a balance in the Payment Account that is sufficient to fund all payments you initiate. You further agree that we may charge a service fee for any returned payment, including, but not limited to, returns resulting from insufficient funds in your account, the fact that your account is closed, or because you provided incorrect account or routing information to us. You agree that if there are insufficient funds in your account, we may (but we are not obligated to) advance the funds to make payment to the Payee. You agree to pay us promptly on our request for any amounts that we have provided to fund any payment we make on your behalf. You agree to promptly notify us in writing of any changes to your Payment Account information and authorize us to debit such account. Pursuant to our agreement with the Provider, the Provider has the right to seek reimbursement from you for these funds.

Pay Cancellation Requests 

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the Services. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Services have begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited.

Stop Payments 

You may be able to stop payment of any scheduled recurring payment by notifying us orally or in writing at least three business days before the Scheduled Payment Date. However, we will continue to charge your Payment Account for that payment and for other recurring payments until the expiration date you set for the payments or the date you cancel the recurring payments through the Services, whichever occurs sooner. If our ACH charge to your Payment Account is rejected or returned to us because you have instructed us to stop the recurring payment, we will charge you the NSF Fee. We may require you to give written confirmation of the stop payment within 14 days of an oral notice. Pursuant to our agreement with the Provider, the Provider has the right to seek reimbursement from you for these funds.

Prohibited Payments 

Payments to Payees outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Services. Payments to unlawful internet gambling sites are also prohibited and may be blocked by the Credit Union.

Restricted Payments 

Tax payments and court ordered payments may be scheduled through the Credit Union, however such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall the Credit Union be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments. The Services Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related changes is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Credit Union. The Credit Union has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, erroneously posted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Services.

Bill Presentment

This feature is for the presentment of electronic bills only and it is your sole responsibility to contact your Billers directly if you do not receive your statements. If you elect to activate one of the Services' electronic bill options, you also agree to the following: You authorize us to contact Billers on your behalf and to receive your billing statements and billing data, including the right to periodically access third party biller Web sites designated by you ("Biller Sites"), on your behalf, to retrieve your electronic billing data ("eBill"). You agree that we are your agent for these limited purposes. You represent and warrant to us that you have the authority to appoint us as your agent to receive your billing statements, to view and download your eBills, and to use your name, passwords, usernames and any other information you provide to us for purposes of providing the Services for you. You agree that we may use and store this information on our servers. You are responsible for all charges associated with our use of any Biller Site on your behalf and you agree to comply with the terms of use for the Biller Site.
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 the Biller. Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller.
The electronic Biller has the right to cancel the presentment of its electronic bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of the Biller. The Services will notify your electronic Biller(s) as to the change in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. The Services will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

Payment Addresses

We reserve the right to change the address of a Payee to whom we send Paper Payments, without notification, in the following situations:

  1. The information returned by our address cleansing process determines the format of the address does not comply with the USPS standards.
  2. We have determined that the address provided is not a valid address for the biller.
  3. The biller has closed the address, and provided us (via the USPS) with the new address.
  4. We have established a relationship with the biller to send payments to a different address than the one provided on the statement.

In all cases, we attempt to act in a way to expedite the proper posting of your payment.

Procedures if Your Member Number or Online Password Has Been Lost, Stolen, or Compromised or There Has Been Unauthorized Use of Your Member Number or Online Password

If you believe that your member number or online password has been lost or stolen, or that someone is using your member number or online password without your permission, notify us IMMEDIATELY in order to keep your possible losses down. The following is our contact information:
Telephone Number: 800-451-4292
Mailing Address: 400 East Nine Mile Road, Ferndale, Michigan 48220.
If your bank account statement shows payments through the Services that you did not authorize, notify us IMMEDIATELY. If you do not notify us within ninety (90) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any of the electronic funds transfers from your account after the close of this ninety (90) day period and before you notify us if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized electronic funds transfers had you told us in time. If a good reason (for example, a hospital stay or a long trip) prevented you from telling us sooner, we may, if we choose, extend this time.
An "unauthorized electronic funds transfer" is an electronic funds transfer conducted by a person who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority to use your account, and which does not benefit you. If you give your member number or online password to another person, all electronic funds transfers by that person are authorized unless and until you notify us that payments by that person are no longer authorized.

Joint Owners

You may establish your account to use the Services with another party. An account having more than one owner is called a joint account. Each joint owner is bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and all references to "you" and "your" in the Agreement shall include all joint owners. Each joint owner agrees to be jointly and individually responsible for all charges and other obligations of any and all joint owners under this Agreement. Unless we are otherwise notified, in writing, by all owners of an account, each joint owner has full and independent authority to use the Services as if they were the sole owner, and without the consent of or notice to any other joint owner.

Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see identifying documents if you complete your account application in person.

Relationship to Provider

Although the Services are made available through the Provider, the Provider does not receive, hold or transfer funds, and shall have no liability with respect to our provision of the Services. The Provider makes no representation or warranty whatsoever, including any express or implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, regarding the Services. However, the Provider is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
