There are no usage fees associated with the Tech CU Bill Pay service.
However, Bill Pay transactions clearing through your Tech CU checking account are subject to any applicable transaction fees, such as non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees, for returned or paid items at $20 each. Expedited payment processing may be subject to fees.
When you first enroll, you can follow the guide by selecting the category of bills you'd like to set up.; You can also always set up bills via the "Add a Company or Person" link. Once established the payee will appear on the Payment Center page and you can immediately schedule your payments.
Pending, processing and recently paid bills appear on the Payment Center page. You can also view all payment via the "Bill Activity" link.
You can pay any vendor in the U.S. or person with a U.S. Address.
The method of payment for each individual payee depends upon the capabilities of that payee. Most of the larger payees, such as credit card and utility companies, have the ability to receive electronic payments, which is faster and more efficient. Payees that are not capable of receiving electronic payments, such as day care providers or your landlord, are paid by check. This method is efficient, but takes a little more time to process. Both electronic and check payments include the primary member's name and account number with the payee.
If your account has insufficient funds when a bill payment attempts to clear through your checking account, our Bill Pay service provider will make at least 1 more attempts to electronically debit your account. After that, they will contact you directly to work out resolution of the outstanding debit. Bill Pay transactions are subject to the same transaction fees as other debits against your account, such as non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees, for returned or paid items, at $20 each.
Yes, if you have other accounts or loans set up as overdraft sources for your checking account, and funds or credit are available funds will automatically transfer from those accounts to cover the payment.
