If you have a Bill Pay Eligible Account and your mailing address on file with First Northern Bank and Trust Co. is a valid U.S. address, you may use our Bill Pay service.

G. Using Bill Pay

1.How Bill Pay Works:

  1. Payments can be scheduled any time, as a one-time transaction, or as recurring transactions. Payments can also be scheduled in advance.
  2. The date you enter for payment is the date on which First Northern Bank and Trust Co. will process the payment to the Payee (if the payment is set up as an Electronic Payment, the account will be debited on the date of the payment. If the payment is set up as a Check Payment, the account will be debited on the date the check is presented).
  3. Your Bill Pay Eligible Account must be in good standing on the date that your account is debited.
  4. Payments will be initiated on the date you select. Payments delivered electronically will be debited from your account the date of the initiated payment. Payments delivered by paper check will be debited from your account on the date they are presented for payment.
  5. Bill pay processing occurs twice a day. The first processing run is at 3:00 A.M. and the second processing run is at 1:00 P.M.
  6. We make every effort to process your payment by the date you select, but payments to some Payees may take longer. To ensure timely payment, you must select a date that is prior to the Due Date specified on your bill or statement. For payments that are critical to you, we recommend selecting a date at least five (5) Business Days prior to the bill’s Due Date for electronic payments and ten (10) Business Days prior to the bill’s Due Date for paper check payments.
  7. You must select a date using the Due Date for the bill and not the last day of any grace period established by the Payee.
  8. The payment amount will be debited from, or charged to the Bill Pay Eligible Account that you designate on the date you specify for electronic payments and the date the check is presented for paper check payments. If the date you select falls on a non-Business Day, for electronic payments, the processing date will be the prior business day. For paper checks, the processing date will be the next business day.
  9. If you do not schedule a payment on or prior to your bill Due Date, or if your Bill Pay Eligible Account is not in good standing, you are fully responsible for all late fees, interest charges or other action taken by the Payee.

2.Payment Authorization and Available Funds

  1. You authorize First Northern Bank and Trust Co. to withdraw, debit or charge the necessary funds from your Bill Pay Eligible Account in order to complete your requested bill payments. You also authorize First Northern Bank and Trust Co. to credit your Bill Pay Eligible Account for payments returned to First Northern Bank and Trust Co. by the U.S. Postal Service, Payee, or any other third party.
  2. By furnishing us with the name and address of a Payee, you authorize us to follow your payment instructions regarding that Payee. In some instances, we may submit payments to the best know Payee address.
  3. For bill payments funded by Bill Pay Eligible Accounts, completion of a scheduled payment requires availability of sufficient funds on the date you select. You agree that you will initiate a bill payment only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your Bill Pay Eligible Account at the time of withdrawal of funds or presentation of the check.
  4. Whether or not First Northern Bank and Trust Co. pays a Bill Payment out of available Bounce Protection, you are obligated directly to First Northern Bank and Trust Co. for the amount of our overdraft fees or other expenses in the event that your account does not have sufficient funds to complete a payment.
  5. We are under no obligation to notify you if we cannot complete a payment because there are not sufficient funds in your Bill Pay Eligible Account to process the payment. In this case, you are responsible for making alternate arrangements or rescheduling the payment.
  6. You may make payments to anyone in the U.S. (which includes its territories). Payments to Payees outside the U.S. are prohibited.
  7. Tax payments, court ordered payments, or payments to settle securities transactions are prohibited and you agree that you will not attempt to use Bill Pay to make such payments.
  8. Bill Pay is intended only for use by you as the subscriber of Bill Pay. Any attempt to use Bill Pay to process payments for third parties is prohibited and will be grounds for termination of Bill Pay and access to the service.
  9. We do not have any duty to monitor the payments that are made through Bill Pay.

3.Canceling Payments; Stop Payments; Refunds or Reversals

  1. You may cancel a Bill Payment after you have scheduled it if the payment has not yet been processed. If the payment has already been processed, please contact the branch most convenient for you to set up a Stop Payment. A Stop Payment can only be set up if the Bill Payment has not yet been debited from your account.
  2. Once a payment has been made, you cannot use Bill Pay to request a refund, cancellation, correction, or reversal of the completed payment. In such situations, you will need to contact the Payee’s customer service in order to request a refund, cancellation, correction, or reversal of a completed bill payment.

We are not responsible for check images we do not receive or that are dropped during transmission. A check image will be deemed received by us only when we provide an e-mail confirmation receipt to you that we have received your check image. When we confirm receipt of your check image, the image will still be subject to review before we present it for payment and may still be rejected by us for any reason in or sole discretion. A confirmation is not a representation, warranty, or other indication that the check image will be presented for payment or will be honored by any paying bank. If we reject a check image received through Mobile deposit, then you may submit the original check to us by mail or at any branch for processing unless we instruct you otherwise. If you do submit the original check for processing, we reserve the right to refuse to process it.

L.Retention of Original Check

Once your check image has been credited to your account, you must retain the original check for (14) days; and then destroy it or mark it “VOID” or in some other way as to prevent its negotiation. You may not present the original check or any image or substitute check created from the original check for payment at any other financial institution. During this 14 day period, you must store the original paper check securely using precautions at least as secure as those you would use to protect a blank check and you must make the original paper check available to us for review at any time and as necessary for us to facilitate the check collection process, to address third party claims, or for our own audit purposes. Should you fail to produce the original paper check,. You authorize us to deduct the amount of the check in question from your account, regardless of whether such action may cause your account to not have sufficient funds, and to pay any associated fees.

M.Return Items

You understand that we may convert items you deposit through Mobile deposit into substitute checks, images, or ACH entries. As a result, in the even that your item is returned unpaid, you will only receive a copy of the substitute check or image, or in the case of ACH entries, the Automated Clearing house information.

N.Funds Availability

We generally apply First Northern Bank & Trust’s Funds Availability Schedule to check images received through Mobile deposit as if we had received the original paper check. However, we may delay availability of funds from any deposit you make through Mobile deposit at any time in our sole discretion, including due to any concern we may have regarding our ability to collect based upon any check image that you present.
