Bill Pay Service

  • Using the Service

The Payment Service allows you to schedule bill payments through the Bill Pay module. You can schedule, at your option, for the payment of your current, future and recurring bills from any of your checking accounts. There is no limit to the number of payments that may be authorized. You may pay any merchant or individual through the use of Bill Pay. We are unable to process any payment of taxes or court-directed payments through Payment Services.

By furnishing us with the names of payees/merchants, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions to these payee/merchants that you provide us through Bill Pay. When we receive a payment instruction (for the current or a future date), we will remit funds to the payee on your behalf from the funds in your selected checking account. You authorize us to charge your checking account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close to the business day designated by you as reasonably possible. While it is anticipated that most transactions will be completed on the exact day designated, it is understood that due to circumstances beyond the control of John Marshall Bank, particularly delays in handling and posting payments slow-responding companies or financial institutions, some transactions may take a day or even a few days longer.

For this reason, it is recommended that all payments transfers be scheduled to at least (7) seven business days before the actual due date. In any other event, including, but not limited to, choosing a payment date less than (7) seven days prior to the actual due date, the risk of incurring and the responsibility for paying any and all charges or penalties shall be borne by you.

John Marshall Bank will use its best efforts to process all your payments properly. However, John Marshall Bank shall incur no liability if it is unable to complete any payments initiated by you through payment services because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

          1. Your account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft protection account.
          2. The processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction.
          3. You have not provided with the correct names or account information for those persons or entities to whomever you wish to direct payment.
          4. Circumstances beyond the control of John Marshall Bank, such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force that would prevent the proper execution of the transaction. John Marshall Bank has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

You have the right to stop or change any scheduled payment. You must cancel the payment by no later than 3 PM (Eastern Time), on the prior business day, by using the DELETE function on the “Pending Payment” screen.

John Marshall Bank reserves the right to terminate your use of bill payment service in whole or part, at any time without prior notice.

If for any reason, you should ever wish to cancel bill payment services, we strongly suggest that you cancel all future bill payments at the same time that you cancel your service, either by deleting those payments yourself using or calling John Marshall Bank’s Customer Service at 703-289-5949. This will ensure that future payments and transfers made by you will not be duplicated. We will automatically delete all outstanding payment orders (all individual payments and all recurring payments) once we have been notified that your service has been terminated. We will continue to maintain your accounts until you notify us otherwise.

  • Bill Pay Fees

There is no monthly fee for payment services; however, you agree to pay any special charges in effect as announced by the Bank from time to time. These charges are in addition to the fees and service charges specified in your applicable checking, savings, overdraft protection account agreements (for example, uncollected or overdraft charges on your checking account).

If the payment account has insufficient funds to cover fees, the Bank will deduct the fee from any other checking account linked to (in any order we may choose). If the fee cannot be paid, we may cancel your Bill Pay service. After cancellation, your Bill Pay service may be reinstated by contacting Customer Service once sufficient funds are available in your payment account to cover the bill payment fees and any other pending transfers or debits.

General Terms

  • Changes to Charges, Fees or Other Terms

We reserve the right to change the charges, fees or other terms described in this Agreement. However, when changes are made to any fees or charges, we will notify you online, or send a notice to you at the address shown on our records, or send you an electronic mail message (E-mail). The notice will be posted or sent at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any additional fees for online transactions, or of any stricter limits on the type, amount or frequency of transactions or any increase in your responsibility for unauthorized transactions, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the system. If such a change is made, and it can be disclosed without jeopardizing the security of the system, we will provide you with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after the change. As always, you may choose to accept or decline changes by continuing or discontinuing the accounts or services to which these changes relate. We also reserve the option, in our business judgment, to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations. Changes to fees applicable to specific accounts are governed by the applicable Deposit Agreement and Disclosure.

  • Disclosure of Account Information

You understand that in addition to information furnished pursuant to the legal process, some information about your accounts may automatically be disclosed to others. For example, the tax laws require disclosure to the government of the amount of the interest you earn, and some transactions, such as certain large currency and foreign transactions, must be reported to the government. The Bank may also provide information about your account(s) to persons or companies the Bank believes would use the information for reasonable purposes, such as when a prospective creditor seeks to verify the information you may have given in a credit application or a merchant calls to verify a check you have written. In addition, the Bank routinely informs a credit bureau when accounts are closed by the Bank because they were not handled properly. The Bank may also seek information about you from others, such as a credit bureau, in connection with the opening or maintaining of your account. You authorize these transfers of information.

We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we have sent the first paper statement on which the problem or error appeared. If you notify us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. Tell us your name and account number, describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about, and explain why you believe it is in error or why you need more information.

For a bill payment, tell us the checking account number used to pay the bill, payee name, the date the payment was sent, payment amount, reference number, and payee account number for the payment in question. Here’s what we will do:

We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days, or twenty (20) business days in the case of point of sale purchases after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days, or ninety (90) days in the case of point of sale or international transactions, to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days, or twenty (20) business days in the case of point of sale or international transactions, for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we will not credit your account. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) business days after we finish our investigation and debit the amount of the error that we previously credited. You may request copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

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 a transfer. If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account. If your account is closed or if it has been frozen. If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts. If you, or anyone you allow, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation. If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device or any part of the electronic fund transfer system is not working properly. If you have not provided us with complete and correct payment information, including without limitation the name, address, account number, and payment amount for the payee on a bill payment. If you have not properly followed the instructions for using online payments. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood or improper transmission or handling of payments by a third party) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions taken by us.
