Information on your Home Banking & Bill Pay Account

Access Your Account Anytime, Anyplace with BankIT Account Access

With our BankITSM Home Banking Service, you can get the balance of any of your listed accounts (checking, savings, money market accounts and many more) on a simple consolidated account list. Your balance information is delivered with up-to-the-minute accuracy. In addition, you can check other important information, like your next payment date on your loans and dividend information on investments. And every account can display current transaction history at the touch of a finger, so you can keep your checkbook register up-to-date and your statement balanced.

Welcome to PayIT ® - the faster way to pay bills

PayIT is a new bill payment service offering an alternative to the traditional method of paying bills. Instead of writing the check and mailing the payment, you can handle all your payments automatically through PayIT. You can schedule payments to be made on certain dates. In addition, PayIT gives you a confirmation number for every payment and keeps track of your last 18 months' payment history. You no longer have to keep track of payments made - PayIT does it for you.

How to Set Up Your Personal Merchant List

To pay a bill with PayIT, you must add the merchants you want to pay to your personal merchants list along with their associated account number. You can request any merchant to be paid. Once set up and active, you can make payments right away. PayIT does not make the following payments:

  • Tax Payments to the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local, or other government agency
  • Payments for other government obligations such as court directed payments
  • Payments to payees located outside of the United States

How PayIT Processes Payments

PayIT begins processing all payments scheduled for each business day at 2 p.m., ET. If you need to schedule, change or delete a payment for that day, you must do so before 2 p.m., ET. Payments scheduled for non-business dates are processed on the next business day. Automatic payments that fall on a non-business day may be processed on the business day preceding the payment date.

How PayIT Manages Insufficient Fund

If you do not have enough money in your account to cover your payment, the payment is failed and you receive a "failed payment" message when you access the MailITSM system. The MailIT messaging service is an added benefit. You get an individual message mailbox in which to send private messages to our Member Service department and receive a reply. PayIT will attempt to utilize Courtesy Pay Protection for qualifying accounts before a payment is failed. Corresponding fees for these services apply.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You authorize Us, and any third party acting on Our behalf, to choose the most effective method to process Your payment and/or transfer, including, without limitation, electronic, paper or some other draft means.

THE SERVICE ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR THE LATE POSTING OR MISAPPLICATION OF PAYMENT ONCE FUNDS ARE RECEIVED BY MERCHANTS.

IF REQUIRED WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING PROVISIONAL CREDIT IF PAYMENT DISPUTES THIS ACTION.
