Who Can I Pay Using First National's On-Line Bill Pay? On-Line Bill Pay,
accessible through your First National Internet Banking account, allows you
to pay most anyone you now pay by check. This includes your utilities, your
doctor, credit card bills, even your child's college tuition. Many companies
accept payments electronically (View a list of commonly used companies that
accept electronic payments.). If you pay someone who doesn't accept
electronic payments, we will send a check through the US Postal Service.
What Options Are Available To Me With On-Line Bill Pay? On-Line Bill Pay
lets you pay all your bills from one screen. You may set up single payments
or schedule one time payments up to a year in advance. On-Line Bill Pay can
also set up recurring payments, like your mortgage or car payment.
How Long Before My Payment Reaches My Payee? We recommend scheduling your
payment five business days prior to the payment due date. Scheduling
payments sufficiently in advance of the due date noted on the bill allows
enough time for the payee to receive payment and credit your account. First
National Bank and Trust will pay any late fee (not exceeding $50.00)
incurred if a payment made utilizing On-Line Bill Pay is scheduled five
business days in advance of payment due date and arrives beyond the grace
period. Payments scheduled through On-Line Bill Pay are withdrawn from your
account at the time the payment is entered.

Definitions
This Agreement applies to your use of Net Bank, the First National Bank and
Trust Company on Beloit's internet banking service, which permits you to
access your accounts with us via the Internet for services selected by you
and agreed upon by us. This Agreement applies to all persons that are
parties to the accounts. In this Agreement, the terms "you" and "your" refer
to each depositor on an account accessible by Internet Service, and the
terms "us," "we," and "our" refer to the Bank.
Access
Net Bank is a service provided solely for use by First National Bank and
Trust Company of Beloit customers. You will need a user ID and password to
gain access to your accounts using Net Bank. We will initially assign you a
password to gain access. You will be required to change the password the
first time you log in and every 3 months after a password change. You should
protect your password at all times.
You agree to keep the password safe and to not record, disclose or make the
password available to anyone. Anyone who has access to your password will
have full access to your accounts and the services you can perform on Net
Bank. You have no ability to limit any such person's authority. If anyone
uses your password with your permission, you will be responsible for any
transactions performed by that person.
Lost or Stolen Password
If your password has been lost or stolen, contact the First National Bank
and Trust Company of Beloit immediately. (See contact information) Calling
us is the best way of minimizing your potential losses. If you tell us
within 2 business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your
password without your permission. If you do not tell us within 2 business
days after you learned of the loss or theft of your password, and we could
prove we could have prevented someone from using your password without your
permission, your loss could be as much as $500.00.
Hours
Net Bank is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For purposes of
electronic transactions, our business days are Monday through Friday
excluding holidays as determined by the First National Bank and Trust
Company of Beloit. All Net Bank transaction requests received after 6:00
p.m. Monday through Friday will be processed the next business day. Any
transactions initiated on non-business days, or Holidays as determined by
First National Bank and Trust Company of Beloit will be processed the next
business day.
Transactions
You can use Net Bank to perform the following:
• view account information
• transfer funds among your deposit accounts
• transfer funds from your line of credit to your checking account
• make payments from your checking and savings accounts to your loan
accounts
• initiate bill payments
Transfer Limitation
Under federal regulations, you may make no more than six preauthorized
electronic fund transfers and telephone transfers, including Net Bank
transactions, checks and point-of-sale transactions per month from your
savings or money market deposit account. Of these six transactions, you are
limited to no more than three transactions per month by check, draft, debit
card or similar order to third parties. Each fund transfer or bill payment
through Net Bank from your savings or money market deposit account is
counted as one of the six limited transfers you are permitted each month.
However, payments to your loan accounts with us are not counted toward this
limit for savings and money market deposit accounts.
Bill Payments
If you select the bill payment service when signing up for Net Bank, you can
pay bills either on an automatic recurring basis or periodically as you
request. You can use bill payment with any checking account.
To use bill payment, you will provide us with the name and address of the
payee (i.e., the person you want to pay), your account number with that
person and any other information we require to properly debit your account
with us and credit your account with the payee. If your account number or
any other information changes, or if you wish to add or delete payees, you
must provide us with these changes at least one business days in advance of
a payment. Any such changes can be entered in the appropriate fields through
the Bill Payment section of Net Bank. You authorize us to make all changes
submitted through Net Bank by you or any other person having access to your
PIN and account information.
We work with payees to encourage them to accept an electronic or check
payment. If we are unsuccessful, or if we believe that the payee cannot
process payments in a timely manner, we may decline to make future payments
to this payee. In the unlikely event that this occurs, we will send you a
notice. We may refuse to make payments to certain payees in our sole
discretion (including, without limitation, government agencies) and to
payees that choose not to participate in the services.
Bill payments are processed either through an electronic transmission to the
payee or by check mailed to the payee. Payees who receive electronic
delivery will receive your payment information, including your account
number with the payee, through a computer link. All checks are sent through
the U.S. mail. Payments made with checks are generally received and credited
by most payees within five business days. If we receive any payment
instructions from a payee, we may follow those instructions, to help ensure
that the payment is received by the payee and promptly credited to your
account.
To help ensure that your payments arrive on time, you must schedule your
payments to be paid at least five business days before the payment due date.
This generally allows sufficient time for the payee to receive and post your
payment.
If you follow all of the procedures described in this Agreement completely,
and a bill payment has not arrived at the payee within the allowable number
of days, we will reimburse you for all penalties and associated late fee
charges incurred due to such a late payment up to $50. We shall incur no
liability if we are unable to complete any payments initiated by you through
the Net Bank Payment Service because of the existence of any one or more of
the following circumstances:
• If your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the
transaction.
• Net Bank Payment Service or Net Bank Services are not working properly and
you know or have been advised by us about the problem before you execute the
transaction.
• You have not provided us with the correct name, phone number or account
information for the Payee, or you have otherwise provided incomplete Payment
Instructions; or,
• Circumstances beyond our control (including, but not limited to, fire,
flood, strikes or labor shortages, power disruptions, or interference from
any other outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if we cause an
incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or cause
funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Payee which do not
comply with your Payment Instructions, we shall be responsible for, and our
liability is expressly limited to, returning the improperly transferred
funds to your Payment Account and for directing to the proper Payee any
previously misdirected transactions.
Prohibited Payments
The following payments are prohibited through the Net Bank Bill Payment
Service:
• Tax Payments and other governmental fees
• Court ordered payments, alimony and child support payments
• Payments to Payees outside of the United States
Returned Bill Payment Service Transaction
In using the Net Bank Bill Payment Service, you are requesting that we make
payments for you from your Payment Account. If we are unable to complete the
transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for
example, there are not sufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the
transaction), the transaction may not be completed. In some instances, you
will receive a return notice from the Bank. In such case, you agree that:
• You will deposit the amount that your account is overdrawn;
• You will reimburse us for any fees imposed by the Bank as a result of the
return;
• You will reimburse us for any fees we incur in attempting to collect the
amount of the return from you; and,
• We are hereby authorized to report the facts concerning the return to a
credit reporting agency.
Cancel a Funds Transfer or Bill Payment
You may cancel or change a pending fund transfer by selecting the transfer
and changing or deleting the amount and date fields. The instruction to
cancel or change the transfer must be received before midnight on the
transfer date. If the change is not made by that time, we may process the
transaction.
If you tell us in advance to make a regular payment at a regular time out of
your account without further action by you (a preauthorized transfer), you
can stop these payments by following the procedure in the preceding
paragraph. Or you can contact us in time for us to receive your request
three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If
you call or email, we may also require you to put your request in writing in
a form approved by us and get the form to us within 14 days after you call
or email. We will require that you tell us the exact amount of the debit,
the next date the debit is to be made and the exact name of the payee. If
you stop payment of such a preauthorized transfer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, we will stop the next debit and all subsequent
preauthorized payments to that payee.
If you order us to stop a preauthorized transfer three business days or more
before the transfer is scheduled, and the stop payment order is made
according to the terms and conditions of the account and this Agreement,
including the requirement that you give us the exact amount of the debit,
the next date of the debit and the exact name of the payee, and we do not do
so, we will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by our
failure.
If we fail to cancel or stop any funds transfer or bill payment, the payment
will stand unless you show us that payment to the payee was unenforceable.
If we recredit your account after transferring funds over a valid and timely
cancellation request, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute
with the payee, to transfer to us all of your rights against the payee, and
to assist us in any legal action taken against that person.
Overdrafts
When you schedule a funds transfer or bill payment using Net Bank, you
authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your account with us. We
deduct the amount of your funds transfer or bill payment from your account
on the date we process your instruction. Each instruction to us to withdraw
or transfer from an account is an order to us to pay from that account at
that time or on a later date, if any, indicated in the instruction. We may
charge payments against the account even though the charge creates an
overdraft, or we may refuse to make payments if the charge creates an
overdraft. If you overdraw your account, you agree to immediately pay us the
overdrawn amount, together with any applicable fees. If the account is
maintained in connection with an overdraft credit plan, any overdraft will
be made in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account
rather than this Agreement.
Fees
If you submit an oral or written stop payment request for a preauthorized
payment, we will charge you for each such stop payment order, the charge for
stopping payment identified in our current fee schedule as may be amended
from time to time.
If you cancel or change any pending funds transfer or bill payment by
completing the appropriate fields from the payment menu, there will be no
charge.
We will charge you for Net Bank Bill Payment fees, if any, identified in our
current fee schedule as may be amended by us from time to time, and
otherwise in accordance with our Deposit account rules.
Statements
Your Net Bank account activity will appear on your periodic account
statement. If there are no transfers in a particular month, you will receive
your account statement at least quarterly.
Errors and Questions
Contact us if your statement shows transfers that you did not make or if you
need more information about a transfer listed on your statement. We must
hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent you the FIRST
statement on which the problem or error appeared..
1. Tell us your name and account number (if any)
2. Describe the error or the transfer in question, and explain why you
believe it is an error or why you need more information.
3. The dollar amount of the suspected error
4. The date on which it occurred.
If the report is made orally, we may require that you send the complaint or
question in writing within 10 business days from your initial contact. We
will notify you with the results of the investigation within 10 business
days and will correct any error promptly. If more time is needed, however,
we may take up to forty-five 45 days to investigate a complaint or question.
If this occurs, we will credit your account within 10 business days for the
amount you think is in error. This will allow you to use 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 10
business days from your original contact, we may not credit your account
until the investigation is completed.
The 10 day periods in the preceding paragraph may be extended to 20 business
days, if the error involves a transfer to or from the account within 30 days
after the first deposit to the account was made. If the error involves an
electronic transfer from your account to buy goods or services direct from a
merchant, a transfer initiated outside the United States or a transfer that
occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to the account was made, the
45 day time period to investigate your complaint or question will be 90 days
in place of 45 days.
We will tell you the results within 3 business days after completing our
investigation. If we determine that no error occurred, we will send you a
written explanation. You may request copies of the documents that were used
in our investigation.
