Scheduled Payment: A payment that has been scheduled through the Service but has not begun processing.

BILL PAYMENT SERVICE

The Service allows you to schedule bill payments through Flushing Bank. You can arrange, at your option, for the payment of your current, future and recurring bills from a designated Payment Account, up to a maximum of $24,999.99 per Payee per business day. These amounts are subject to change at the discretion of Flushing Bank. There is no limit to the number of Electronic Bill Payments that may be authorized. You may pay any merchant or individual approved by Flushing Bank for payment through Electronic Bill Payment Services. We are unable to process any payments to federal, state, or local tax agencies.

PAYMENT SCHEDULING

While it is anticipated that most Payments will be processed electronically and completed on your selected Scheduled Payment Date or the next Business Day and arrive at the Payee approximately two (2) Business Days after that date. It is understood by you that due to Scheduled Payment Dates occurring on non-Business Days and/or circumstances beyond the control of Flushing Bank, particularly delays by the Payee and the Payee's banks or agents in the handling and posting of these bill payments, some may take longer to be posted to your account at the Payee. For this reason, Flushing Bank recommends that you select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least seven (7) to ten (10) Business Days before the actual due date of the payment and not seven (7) to ten (10) Business Days or less before the last day of a grace period or the last day a payment can be made without the Payee assessing a late charge. You agree that Flushing Bank will not be responsible for any payment that is received or posted by the Payee after the grace period or results in a late charge or penalty being assessed by the Payee if you did not follow this recommendation. In such event, you agree that you shall have the sole risk of incurring and the sole responsibility for paying any and all late charges or penalties assessed by the Payee.

 PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE

By providing the Service with names and account information of Payees to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Payee directives.

When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Service to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize the Service to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the Post Office or Payee, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Service.

The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you 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;
  • The funds in your account are unavailable.
  • The funds in your account are subject to legal process or court order.
  • If you haven't properly followed our instructions.
  • You don't authorize a Payment within the time frame required for it to reach the Payee by its due date.
  • Your password has been reported lost or stolen.
  • Your service privileges have been suspended.
  • We have reason to believe that the transaction requested in unauthorized.
  • The transaction would exceed security limitations on the use of the Service.
  • The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by Flushing Bank about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  • You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Payee; and/or,
  • Circumstances beyond control of Flushing Bank such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force which prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Payee which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges. If Flushing Bank does not properly complete a Payment on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, we will pay any late fees or finance charges you may incur as long as your account was in good standing with the merchant prior to this incident. We will also be liable to you if we fail to stop a payment pursuant to your timely order to do so. We shall not be responsible for any charges imposed or any other action taken by a Payee resulting from a Payment that you have not scheduled properly, including any applicable finance charges and late fees. In addition, we will not be liable if any third party through whom any bill payment is made fails to properly transmit the payment to the intended Payee or if any of the exceptions set forth above apply.

PAYMENT METHODS

When you initiate a Payment you authorize Flushing Bank to charge your Payment Account on the Business Day selected by you and to remit funds to the Payee on your behalf electronically, provided electronic payment is permitted and accepted by the Payee. If the Payee does not permit and accept electronic payment, then those funds will be remitted to the Payee through the use of a paper check issued by the paying agent and payable to the Payee. Such paper check will state that it represents a payment from you and indicate the account number of your account with the Payee. The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Payee.

CANCELING PAYMENTS

You have the right to cancel or edit any pending Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments).You may inquire about a Payment by calling Flushing Bank Customer Service at 800.581.2889.


Changing a Payment

From the Payment Activity page, you can change the dates, amounts, and the account to use for payments that you scheduled earlier in this online session or in a previous session.

Click on the "Edit" link next to the payment that you want to modify. An image with the details of the payment you selected will be displayed. If you selected a Recurring payment, you will be prompted to select whether you want to change all of the scheduled recurring payments or only the next payment in the series. Enter the changes you wish to make in the appropriate fields. Then click on the "Submit" button and note the reference number that appears on the screen; this will serve as your electronic receipt. Any changes you made will now appear on the Payment Activity page.

A few exceptions apply:

  • If you submitted a payment and the Send On date was today, you may only change that payment during the session that you submitted it.
  • Expedited payments cannot be modified or deleted once they are submitted.
  • If you want to change the Payee for a scheduled payment, you must first delete the payment and then schedule a new payment to a different payee.

Note: If you selected a Recurring Payment and changed This Payment Only, the changed payment appears separately in the list of scheduled payments.

Deleting a Payment

From the Payment Activity page, you can delete payments that you scheduled earlier in this online session or in a previous session.

To delete a payment, click on the "Edit" link next to the payment that you want to delete. An image with the details of the payment you selected will be displayed. Click on the "Delete Payment" button. If you selected a Recurring payment, you will be prompted to select whether you want to delete all of the scheduled recurring payments or only the next payment in the series.

A couple of exceptions apply:

  • If you submitted a payment and the Send On date was today, you may only delete that payment during the session that you submitted it.
  • Expedited payments cannot be deleted once they are submitted.

Payment Inquiries

From the Payment Activity page, you can submit questions about any of your payments to our Customer Service team. To inquire about a payment, find the payment in the Processed Payments section. Click the "Inquire" link next to that payment's information.

If the payment was processed more than 30 days ago, click on the "Viewing Last 30 Days" link on the right side of the Processed Payments bar. A window will appear where you can select to view up to 365 days.

Enter the reason for the payment inquiry and all required information, and then click "Submit".

Unclaimed Payments

  • An unclaimed payment is a check payment that is correctly sent to a payee, but is never cashed by the payee. It is our policy to return that money to you in full.

    Payments can be unclaimed for several reasons. Most often, an unclaimed payment arises when you send a payment to a friend or acquaintance using Bill Pay and the recipient simply forgets to cash the check. Unclaimed payments can also occur when you submit an online bill payment to a merchant and the merchant posts the payment to your account, but mistakenly does not cash the check.

    For your convenience, check payments in the amount of $1,000 or greater are researched with the payee if still outstanding after 30 days and check payments in the amount of $500 to $999.99 are researched if still outstanding after 60 days.

    There is no automatic research performed on payments of less than $500 and these payments will be refunded to you if they are still outstanding after 90 days. Researched payments may be reissued to the payee, refunded to your account or allowed to remain outstanding pending further action from the payee. If a check payment in the amount of $500 or greater has been researched and is still outstanding after 90 days, it will be automatically refunded. We will also send you a notification via email providing all the payment details so that you can contact the payee if necessary.

    If you receive a notification that one of your payments was unclaimed, check to see if your account is current with the merchant. If the merchant does not indicate that you have a past due balance, then you do not need to do anything. If the merchant does indicate that you have a past due balance, you should resubmit the payment as soon as possible. If the payment was sent to a friend or acquaintance, you can reschedule the payment and remind the recipient to be on the lookout for the check.

     

    Payment Guarantee

    If a properly scheduled payment is not received and posted on time by the payee, we will attempt to have any late fees or assessed finance charges removed. (Finance charges are calculated based on your payment amount rather than your entire balance.) If the payee is unwilling or unable to remove them, we will pay the fees and finance charges directly to the payee. In addition, we will attempt to have your account noted appropriately to ensure that the situation does not negatively impact your credit rating. (NOTE: Please refer to your Electronic Funds Transfer Disclosure for important information on the limitations of reimbursable fees and finance charges.)

    The Payment Guarantee applies to late fees and/or finance charges associated with the late posting of a payment, provided that the following conditions are met:

    1. The payment was scheduled to be delivered on or before the due date of your bill, excluding any grace periods. (The one exception to this guideline is that mortgage payments may be scheduled so that the payment is sent on or before the due date, excluding grace periods. For example, a mortgage payment due on July 1st, with a 15-day grace period, must have a "Send On" date no later than July 1st)

      3. Tax entities
      4. Collection agencies
    5. The information supplied by you is correct (payee name and address, your name and account number as it appears on the payee's records).

    Expedited Payment Guarantee

    If a Properly Scheduled Expedited Payment (defined below) is not received and posted by the payee as of the scheduled payment date, you will not be responsible for any Penalties (defined below) that arise due to the failure of such payment to post on the scheduled date and we will refund you the service fee associated with such payment We will first attempt to have any such Penalties removed, and if the payee is unwilling or unable to remove them, we will pay the fees and finance charges directly to the payee. In addition, we will attempt to have your payee account noted appropriately to ensure that the situation does not negatively impact your credit rating.

    "Penalties" are defined as late fees or finance charges that are assessed on the Properly Scheduled Expedited Payment amount that did not post on the scheduled payment date, not those based on your total outstanding balance.

    1. Was made from an account that has sufficient funds for the payment and any fees associated with the payment;
    2. Was scheduled to be delivered on or before the due date of your bill, excluding any grace periods.

    • If you wish to cancel any of the Services you are utilizing through Flushing Bank Online Banking, you must contact Flushing Bank Online Banking Customer Support at the Flushing Bank Telephone Number or send us cancellation instructions in writing to the Flushing Bank Business Address.
    • If, for any reason, you should ever wish to cancel Flushing Bank Online Banking, we strongly suggest that you cancel all future EBPs at the same time that you cancel your Service by deleting those payments yourself using Flushing Bank Online Banking. This will ensure that future EBPs and transfers made by you will not be duplicated. We will automatically delete all outstanding EBPs (all individual payments and all recurring payments) once we have been notified that your Service has been terminated. We will continue to maintain your Account(s) until you notify us otherwise.
    • Flushing Bank's EBP Services may be utilized by a single person. Additionally, joint access to Accounts requires that all persons having access to such Accounts ("Joint Accountholders") jointly sign on the checking or other Accounts linked to the Services. Joint Accountholders must share the same Payee list, and are subject to the joint tenancy rules contained in the Account Disclosure Statement for the particular Account. Accounts that require two or more signatures are not eligible to be linked to Flushing Bank's EBP Services.

     

    Requirements. To access your Account(s) through Flushing Bank Online Banking, you must have an Eligible Account and an online Password. In addition, you must have the required software.

    Hours of Accessibility. You can access your Account(s) through Flushing Bank Online Banking seven days a week, 24 hours a day. However, at certain times, some or all of Flushing Bank Online Banking may not be available due to system maintenance. During these times, you may use the Bank's telephone banking facility or an ATM or a Branch to conduct your transactions. If a request to transfer funds through Flushing Bank Online Banking is completed before 8:30 p.m. Monday - Friday or 5:30 p.m. Saturday or Sunday, the transfer will be posted to your Account that same day. If a request to transfer funds is completed after 8:30 p.m. on a Business Day (Monday - Friday) or 5:30 p.m. Saturday or Sunday, or on a non-Business Day, the transfer will post to your Account the next Business Day or the following Business Day.


    Password.

    Your Password acts as your signature. You can change your Password at any time. For your protection, you should memorize your Password and not keep any notation of your Password on or with your computer. Your Electronic Bill Payment Account is for your personal use only.

    The Password assures that only you can access your Account.
    YOU AGREE NOT TO ALLOW ANOTHER PERSON TO USE YOUR PASSWORD AND NOT TO GIVE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER(S) OR PASSWORD TO ANYONE. If you do, you will be responsible for any money withdrawn or transferred from your Account(s) when such person uses your Password.


    You agree that if your Password is lost, misplaced or stolen, or if you believe that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account(s) without your permission, you must notify Flushing Bank at once by calling Flushing Bank at the Flushing Bank Telephone Number immediately and within ten (10) days sending written notification to Flushing Bank at the Flushing Bank Business Address.
    For your protection, we are asking that you change your online Password regularly.
    Your role is extremely important in the prevention of any wrongful use of your Account(s). You must promptly examine your statement upon receipt. If you find that your records and ours disagree, you must immediately call Flushing Bank Online Banking Customer Support at the Flushing Bank Telephone Number.


    In addition to protecting your Password and Account information, you should take precautions with your personal identification information, such as your driver's license, Social Security Number, etc. This information by itself or together with information on your Account(s) may allow unauthorized access to your Account(s). It is your responsibility to protect personal information with the same level of care that you protect your Password and Account information.

    Error Resolution

    In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers call us at 800.581.2889, write us at Flushing Bank, 1979 Marcus Ave. LL C103, Lake Success, NY 11042 or e-mail us at customerservice@flushingbank.com as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

    • Tell us your name and Account number (if any).
    • Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
    • Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of 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, we may not credit your Account. For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

    Liability for Unauthorized Transactions and Advisability of Prompt Reporting. Please tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Online Banking Account number or your Password has been lost or stolen. Notifying us by telephone as soon as possible is the best way of limiting your losses. You could lose all of the funds in your Account(s) plus your maximum overdraft line of credit.

    • If you believe that someone has made or may make an Online Banking transaction to or from your Account(s) without your permission, call the Flushing Bank Telephone Number or write Flushing Bank Online Banking Customer Support at the Flushing Bank Business Address. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses to a minimum.
    • If your online Password has been compromised and you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your online Password without your permission to access a Bank Deposit Account. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, and we could have stopped someone from taking money without your permission had you told us, you could lose as much as $500.
    • Also, if your statement shows withdrawals, transfers or purchases that you did not make or authorize, please notify us at once. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the paper or online statement was sent to you, and we could have stopped someone from taking money if you had told us in time, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

See FLUSHING BANK.com for current hardware and software specifications. FLUSHING BANK is not responsible for any third party software you may need to use the Service. Any such software is accepted by you as is and is subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement you enter into directly with the third party software provider at time of download and installation.

    5. Fees. A fee may be charged for the Service. You are responsible for paying the fees for the use of the Service. Any fee that is charged will be disclosed prior to your deposit. FLUSHING BANK may change the fees for use of the Service at any time pursuant to the section titled "Acceptance of these Terms" above. You authorize FLUSHING BANK to deduct any such fees from any FLUSHING BANK account in your name. Fees will not be charged during any free trial period or other promotional campaigns.

    6. Eligible items. You agree to scan and deposit only "checks" as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC ("Reg. CC"). When the image of the check transmitted to FLUSHING BANK is converted to an Image Replacement Document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an "item" within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

    You agree that you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:

    • Checks payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account that the check is being deposited into.
    • Checks containing an alteration on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn .
    • Checks payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees.
    • Checks previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg. CC.
    • Checks drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States.
    • Checks that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg. CC.
    • Checks not payable in United States currency.

You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as FLUSHING BANK may establish from time to time.

    8. Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from FLUSHING BANK that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free, complete or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account. We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time; any item that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item. You agree that the Bank is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.

    9. Availability of Funds. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Funds deposited using the Service will generally be made available in three business days from the day of deposit including on-us checks drawn on FLUSHING BANK. FLUSHING BANK may make such funds available sooner based on such factors as credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as FLUSHING BANK, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.

    10. Disposal of Transmitted Items. Upon your receipt of a confirmation from FLUSHING BANK that we have received an image that you have transmitted, you agree to retain the check for at least 14 calendar days from the date of the image transmission. After 14 days, you agree to destroy the check that you transmitted as an image, mark it "VOID", or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit, or presentment. During the time the retained check is available, you agree to promptly provide it to FLUSHING BANK upon request.

    11. Deposit Limits. We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times. The current daily dollar limit is $1,500.00 per business day for consumer banking clients. In addition, the current monthly dollar limit is $25,000.00 per any 22 consecutive business day period. There is no daily or monthly statement cycle limit on the number of items, as long as the respective dollar limits are not exceeded.

    12. Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be in FLUSHING BANK’s sole discretion subject to the Terms and Conditions governing your account.
