Bill Pay
All SBW customers have access to the Bill Pay Menu within Online Banking. Go to Transactions and select Send Money with Zelle® to access this feature.
Getting Started with Bill Pay
With Bill Pay you can pay your electric company, your dog sitter, and even make your car payment. With Bill Pay you can:
- Pay several bills at once or make one-time payments. You can also view your pending and recent payments.
- Receive some of your bills electronically. We can receive electronic bills from hundreds of billers nationwide.
- Set-up automatic payments to pay your electronic bills or to automatically schedule payments of a set amount at regular intervals.
- Review your bills and payments for the past 24 months
If you are paying a company, you will need your latest bill with billing account number, billing address, and phone number. If you are paying an individual, you will need their name, address, and phone number.
After you add the company or person to pay, the payee will appear within the Bill Pay Menu.
Note: Remember to keep your bill information updated. If the name, address, phone number, or account number changes, click on the Options link and click on Visit Bill Pay Site. There you can make the appropriate updates to ensure that the bill information is correct.
Electronic vs. Check Payments
The Bill Payment system completes a search of each biller you add to see if they are available to receive electronic payments. If the biller is available to receive electronic payments the Bill Payment system will send the payment electronically, usually within three business days.
If the biller is not available to receive electronic payments, the Bill Payment system will generate a check and send the check in the mail. If we send the payment by check, it can take 7 business days for the biller to receive it. However, the estimated time of arrival may vary based on the postal service.
When is the money for the Payment Withdrawn from my Payment Account?
If the payment is sent electronically, the money for the payment is withdrawn from your payment account on the pay date. If the company or person cannot receive electronic payments, Savings Bank of Walpole Bill Pay prints a check and sends it to the billing address. For payments processed as a check, the money is withdrawn when the company or person deposits (or cashes) the check.
eBills
eBill is a feature that allows you to receive and pay electronic summary versions of paper bills directly from your Bill Pay account. To enable eBills go to Bill Pay and click on the Options link and Visit Bill Pay Site.
eBills are delivered directly to your Bill Pay account. Once you set up an individual eBill for a company you do business with, an eBill comes directly from that payee to your account. Examples of businesses that offer eBills are cable service providers, phone service providers, utility providers and credit card companies.
Stop Payments
Submit a “written” stop payment request to the bank by entering information in each required field. Start within the Services Menu and select Stop Payment. To place a stop on a single check, select Single Check. If you would like to stop payment on a series of checks, select Multiple Checks.
If you submit your stop payment request from within Online Banking, your request is considered a written request. The stop payment request shall remain in effect for six months or until written notice is received from you to revoke the stop payment order, whichever occurs first. You may renew the request when the six month period has expired by submitting a new stop payment request order. You will incur stop payment charges as disclosed in the current fee schedule for the applicable account.
External Account Transfers
To request the ability to make transfers between your account at another financial institution and SBW you will need to submit a request through one of two methods. To get started go to the Services Menu and click on the Manage External Account.
Choose between Instant Verification (recommended) or Micro-Deposits (takes up to 3 days to complete) and follow the steps to link your external account. To add an external account using Instant Verification, you will need the other institution’s online banking username and password. This method uses software called Plaid to link to your account. To add an external account using Micro-Deposits, you will need the external account number, the routing or ABA number, and the account type. External transfers requested after 3:00 pm will be processed on the next business day.
Limits, disqualifying events and cut-off times
Note: External transfers are only available for personal banking customers. This is not available for business customers.
The daily maximum external transfer limit is $5000.00. Savings Bank of Walpole may reduce the limit as stated above or terminate this service without prior notice upon occurrence of a Disqualifying Event. Each of the following is a “Disqualifying Event”:
- Any of your accounts with SBW are not current or in good standing
- You have had an overdraft, an over-limit item or an item returned for insufficient funds with respect to any SBW deposit account during the current or 3 prior calendar months
- You have had any prior transfer canceled or revoked due to insufficient funds, or any similar reason
- Other circumstances at Savings Bank of Walpole’s discretion
Savings Bank of Walpole is unable to guarantee the date a transfer from your external account will be complete. However, depending on the date and the time of day of your request, it should be complete in 3 bank business days.
To verify an external account using the Micro-Deposit Method
- Go to the Services Menu and click Manage External Account
- Click or tap the account that you want to verify
