Access to Online Banking Services and Your Obligations

You may access your Eligible Accounts through the Website or Mobile Application any time. To do so, you must establish and use a username, a password, answers to your security questions, and have the required hardware and software as described in this Agreement or on the Website. For added security, you will be required to establish a strong second factor authentication protocol (SMS text, authenticator, biometrics or any additional strong security protocols we may establish) to use high risk transactions and services. You must comply with any security procedures and policies we may establish from time to time.

  • Enrollment: When you first enroll, the Bank will link all of your Eligible Accounts of which you are a Primary or Joint Owner. You may request the Bank to add accounts on which you are an Authorized Signer. If you open an Eligible Account at a later date, it will automatically be linked to your Online Services profile.
  • Authorized Transactions: You agree to safeguard your username, password, security answers, and Account number(s). If you give someone your Online Services username and password, you are authorizing that person to use Online Services in your name, and you are responsible for all transactions the person performs using your Online Services username, and password. All transactions performed by that person, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions and therefore the Bank shall not be held liable for any adverse consequence which may occur as a result.
  • Unauthorized Transactions: Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that your Online Services username and password have been lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. The best way to minimize any losses or other adverse consequences is to call us immediately at 1-877-968-7962. The unauthorized use of your Online Services may cause you to lose funds. See your Account Disclosures for additional important information. If the Bank determines or suspects unauthorized activity on your Online Profile, it may, in its sole discretion, disable certain transactional features or disable the entire Online Profile with or without your consent.
  • Log Out: For your protection, log out after every Online Service session and close your browser to ensure confidentiality.
  • System Maintenance: At certain times, online access to some or all of your Eligible Accounts may not be available due to system maintenance or circumstances beyond our control. Our Customer Contact Center associates may be contacted at 1-877-968-7962.

Electronic Funds Transfers

Description of Transfers

If you have two Eligible Accounts, you may direct funds be transferred from one Eligible Account to another.

How Transfers Work

  • You may transfer funds between any of your Eligible Accounts. See the "Services Available Grid" for additional details.
  • If the Eligible Account does not have sufficient funds to complete the Transfer on the Processing Date, the Transfer may not be complete. If the Bank, in its sole discretion, makes the Transfer as an accommodation to you, you are responsible for any overdraft fee that is created.
  • Transfers scheduled for the current date are reflected in the available balance of the Eligible Account as soon as you submit it.
  • Funds transferred before 9:00 pm CT are available and posted the same day. Funds transferred after 9:00 pm CT are available but posted the following night and will not cover debits and checks that may post to your account.
  • You may designate a future date to process a Transfer, up to 364 days in advance.
  • You may designate a Transfer as a recurring transaction and the Bank will use the Processing Date and frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly) selected to process the transfers. You must set a Start Date and, optionally, an End Date for the recurring transaction.

Canceling or Changing a Transfer

  • You cannot cancel Transfers scheduled for the current date after the Transfer has been submitted.
  • For future dated Transfers, you may cancel or change the Transfer until midnight of the day before the Processing date.
  • If you are unable to cancel or change a Transfer, you may nonetheless be able to cancel or change the transaction by contacting Woodforest by phone at 1-877-968-7962 during the hours of 7:00am and 8:00 pm CT Monday through Saturday. In order for the cancellation to be effective; however, the Bank may require that you put your request in writing within 24 hours of verbal notification.

Loan Payments

Loan Payments are Transfers from an Eligible Deposit Account into an Eligible Loan Account and follow the same rules as Transfers, noted above. Woodforest reserves the right to limit the amount of the funds transfer and the system will enforce such limits, if necessary.

Unless otherwise stated, Transfers are subject to the same terms and conditions outlined in your Account Disclosures and any applicable agreements with Woodforest. Please review the Woodforest National Bank Account Disclosures for additional important information regarding Electronic Funds Transfers.

Stop Payments

Description of Stop Payments

At your request and risk, you can submit stop payments for a single check or a range of checks. Online stop payments for ACH transactions, ATM/Debit transactions and electronically-processed bill payments are not allowed. Your online request is the same as giving written permission to order an online stop payment and the stop payment order is effective for 180 days (six months).

How Stop Payments Work

  • You may request a stop on check(s), provided you have the amount, check number(s) and other pertinent data for Woodforest to place the Stop. Stop Payment items are processed seven days a week, except Christmas Day.
  • If the check has already been paid or the same stop payment has been submitted, the Stop Payment will be rejected. It is your responsibility to ensure that a stop payment has not already been placed or the check already paid before you submit the request. You acknowledge that all Stop Payment information provided to the Bank must be correct. If you provide incorrect information, even if the information is a close approximation, the Bank is not liable for payment of the check. You agree to hold the Bank harmless for the amount of any check which you have requested a stop payment and to indemnify the Bank against any loss, expense, or cost incurred by reason of the Bank's refusal to pay such check or debit. If a stop payment is placed on a range of checks, you understand the Bank recommends that you close your account and open a new account to protect against fraud. The Bank assumes no liability if an account has been compromised. If you submit a stop payment, you agree to pay a fee for each stop payment request in the amount set forth in the Banks' schedule of fees.

Canceling or Changing a Stop Payment

To cancel or modify a stop payment request you must contact the Bank at 1-877-968-7962 or visit your local branch. You can view Stop Payment history from within Online Services.

Other Services

New Accounts

You may open and fund new Eligible Accounts if you meet all requirements as determined by the Bank. While you will receive an account number, the new Account may not be available for use until the next Business Day. Account Disclosures will be presented when you establish the new account online and you must agree to these documents to complete the open account process. Additional Account Disclosures will be sent to you via U.S. Mail. You must sign and return the applicable documents or your account may be closed.

Woodforest Debit Card Orders

You can order a new or replacement Woodforest Debit Card through Online Services if you meet all requirements set forth by the Bank. Replacement cards will be sent with a new card number, and the existing card will be closed 14 days after the replacement card is issued. At that time any automatic debit transactions using the closed card number will fail. Contact your billers to update any automatic debit transactions accordingly. Any Woodforest Debit Card you order will be subject to the same agreement in accordance with your applicable Account Disclosures, and may incur applicable fees.

Reporting Lost / Stolen Woodforest Debit Card

If your Woodforest Debit Card is lost or stolen, you must notify the Bank in accordance with the Woodforest Debit Card Agreement. You may notify us by:

  • Accessing the Report a Lost or Stolen Debit Card page in the Service Center section of Online Services.
  • Contacting Customer Contact Center at 1-866-682-7045.
  • Reporting to your local Woodforest branch.

Your Woodforest Debit Card will be closed and any automatic debit transaction, that we are not legally required to pay, using the card number will fail. Contact your billers to update any automatic debit transactions accordingly.

Bill Pay

Description of Bill Pay

If you have a Bill Pay Eligible Account, a valid U.S. mailing address, and a valid email address on file with Woodforest National Bank, you may use our Bill Pay service. Payments initiated through Bill Pay must be directed only to Payees with a valid U.S. address. Payments are limited to $20,000.00 per item and $20,000.00 per day.

When setting up Payees and payments in Bill Pay, you must provide us with information on your Payee accounts. You must ensure this information is, and remains, accurate and complete. We will use this information to facilitate your use of the Bill Pay service, and for accessing Payee websites on your behalf.

Joint Accounts

If there is a Joint Owner associated with the Bill Pay Eligible Account, you and the Joint Owner consent to permit us to disclose information concerning the Bill Pay Eligible Account payments, completed, pending and scheduled, to other Joint Owners. Joint Owners may use the same Bill Pay Eligible Account for their individual use of Bill Pay. Each Authorized Account Owner has the same right of access to Bill Pay services such as notifying Customer Contact Center of suspected loss or fraud or canceling individual payments, Bill Pay services, etc. Each Authorized Account Owner must individually enroll in Bill Pay and, if so enrolled, will have a separate Payee list and payment history.

How Bill Pay Works:

  • Payments can be scheduled at any time, as a one-time transaction, up to a year in advance, automatically at regular intervals, or as payments that are automatically paid upon receipt of an eBill.
  • "Auto Pay" means automatic payments for the same amount that are sent on the same frequency (monthly, weekly, quarterly) or automatic payments of an eBill.
  • You will select a Deliver By Date for each payment and the system will display a Send On Date.
  • The Deliver By Date is the Business Day a payment is scheduled to be delivered to your Payee. The Send On Date is the Business Day on which Woodforest National Bank will initiate and submit delivery of the payment to the Payee.
  • Your Bill Pay Eligible Account must be in good standing on the Send On Date.
  • Payments will be initiated prior to the Deliver By Date you select. Payments delivered electronically will be initiated one or two (1 or 2) Business Day(s) prior to the Deliver By Date; payments delivered via paper check will be initiated four or five (4 or 5) Business Days prior to the Deliver By Date. You will not be able to select a date as your payment's Deliver By Date unless it allows for sufficient Business Days after payment initiation, as noted in the foregoing.
  • Payments that are entered after 3:00 p.m. Central Time will be initiated no earlier than the next Business Day.
  • We make every effort to deliver your payment by the Deliver By Date, but payments to some Payees may take longer. To ensure timely payment, you must select a Deliver By Date that is on or prior to the Due Date specified on your bill or statement. For payments that are critical to you, we recommend selecting a Deliver By Date at least four (4) Business Days prior to the bill's Due Date.
  • You should select a Deliver By Date using the Due Date for the bill or eBill and not the last day of any grace period established by the Payee to avoid any late fees or interest charges by the Payee.
  • For payments delivered electronically, the payment amount will be debited from, or charged to, the Bill Pay Eligible Account that you designate on the Send On Date.
  • For payments delivered by check, the check is drawn from your Bill Pay Eligible Account on the Send On Date. If the Bill Pay Eligible Account does not have sufficient funds when the check is presented for payment, the check may be returned.
  • If you do not schedule a payment on or prior to your bill Due Date, or if your Bill Pay Eligible Account is not in good standing, you are fully responsible for all late fees, interest charges or other action taken by the Payee.
  • You may establish an Auto Pay schedule for a Payee. The Payment will pay automatically, for the same amount, at regular intervals that you select. You must select a Start on Date and, optionally, an End on Date to pay automatically and the Bank will use the Start on Date and frequency (such as weekly, monthly, quarterly) selected to process the Payments automatically on your behalf.

Payment Authorization and Available Funds

  • You authorize Woodforest National Bank to withdraw, debit, or charge the necessary funds from your Bill Pay Eligible Account in order to complete your requested bill payments. You also authorize the Bank to credit your Bill Pay Eligible Account for payments returned to Woodforest National Bank by the U.S. Postal Service, Payee, or any other third party.
  • By furnishing us with the name and address of a Payee, you authorize us to follow your payment instructions regarding that Payee. In some instances, we may submit payments to the best known Payee address.
  • In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter payee data, payment data, or other data formats in accordance with Payee directives.
  • When necessary, you authorize us to change or reformat your Payee account number to match the account number or format required by your Payee for electronic payment processing or eBill activation.
  • For bill payments funded by Bill Pay Eligible Accounts and submitted electronically, completion of a scheduled payment requires availability of sufficient funds on the Send On Date. You agree that you will initiate a bill payment only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your Bill Pay Eligible Account at the time of withdrawal of funds.
  • If there are not enough funds available to complete an electronic payment or when a bill payment check is presented against your Bill Pay Eligible Account, we may either (a) complete the payment or (b) refuse to complete the payment, without regard to whether we may have previously established a pattern of honoring or dishonoring such payments. If we complete the payment, we reserve the right to impose an overdraft fee in accordance with your applicable Account Disclosures. You agree to pay any fees we may impose.
  • We are under no obligation to notify you if we cannot complete a payment because there are not sufficient funds in your Bill Pay Eligible Account to process the payment. In this case, you are responsible for making alternate arrangements or rescheduling the payment.
  • You may make payments to anyone in the U.S. (which includes its territories). Payments to Payees outside the U.S. are prohibited.
  • Bill Pay is intended only for use by you as the subscriber of Bill Pay. Any attempt to use Bill Pay to process payments for third parties is prohibited and will be grounds for termination of Bill Pay and your access to the service.
  • If your Bill Pay Eligible Account closes or is restricted for any reason, all pending payments associated with the Bill Pay Eligible Account will be cancelled and it is your sole responsibility to make all pending and future payments.
  • The Bank does not have any obligation or duty, whether expressed or implied, to monitor the payments that are made through Bill Pay.

Canceling Payments; Requesting Stop Payments, Refunds, or Reversals

  • In order to cancel or change a bill payment, you must sign into Online Services and follow the directions provided on the applicable Bill Pay screens.
  • A bill payment cannot be cancelled or edited after 3:00 p.m. CT on the Send On Date.
  • For bill payments that are made via paper check, a stop payment request may be submitted, and we must have a reasonable period of time in which to act on such stop payment request. You may place a stop payment request on the 'Request a Stop Payment' page in Service Center or contact us immediately at 1-877-968-7962.
  • Once a payment has been made, you cannot use Bill Pay to request a refund, cancellation, correction, or reversal of the completed payment. In such situations, you will need to contact the Payee's customer service in order to request a refund, cancellation, correction, or reversal of a completed bill payment.

Returned Bill Payments

A Payee, a payment system participant, and/or the United States Postal Service may return payments for various reasons, such as the Payee account number is not valid, the Payee is unable to locate your account, the Payee has changed its address or sold your account, or the Payee account was paid in full. While we may, as a courtesy, attempt to notify you of a returned payment, we are under no obligation to do so. Payments made by check will be returned to your Bill Pay address on file.

Termination of Bill Pay

If you have Bill Pay and do not schedule or process a payment through Bill Pay for any 3-month period, we may, at our sole discretion, terminate your use of Bill Pay without prior notice. You agree that you will only use Bill Pay for the authorized payment of lawful bills and invoices. Please note that the usage of Bill Pay for any unlawful and/or unauthorized purpose, to the extent that Woodforest determines it as such, may result in termination of your access to Bill Pay, in addition to termination of all Woodforest-provided services, at our sole discretion.

You must have at least one Bill Pay Eligible Account to use Bill Pay. If you close your Bill Pay Eligible Account, you must designate a new Account within 30 days or we may terminate Bill Pay services without prior notice. If we terminate your use of Bill Pay services, your online bill payment information will be lost and all pending payments will be cancelled and are your sole responsibility. If you decide to terminate Bill Pay services, all future bill payments at the same time that you cancel Bill Pay will be deleted. You may contact the Bank at 1-877-968-7962 and request cancellation of Bill Pay services, but you may be required to submit this change in writing.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use unaffiliated third-party service providers to act on our behalf in processing payments you schedule through Bill Pay. Any such service provider is required to implement appropriate measures to protect the privacy and security of your information.

Bill Pay Provisions Control

If this Bill Pay Section conflicts with any other provisions of this Agreement, this Section governs with respect to Bill Pay.

eBills

Description of eBills

eBills are a feature of Bill Pay that allows you to receive bills electronically from participating Payees. If a Payee participates in electronic billing, you will be taken through a series of steps to enroll in and set up an eBill. In addition to viewing your bill, you can set up reminders and automated payments. The following are general requirements for use within Online Services but does not supersede any eBill agreement between you and a Payee.

Requirements

To receive delivery of your eBills through Bill Pay, you must have a Bill Pay Eligible Account, and be registered with Bill Pay services. You need to ensure that your computer software meets the requirements provided on the Website in order to view, print, and/or save your eBill and legal notices. You may set up reminders to let you know that your current eBill is ready for you to view, save, print, or pay at your convenience.

Payee Login Credentials

In order to facilitate eBill delivery, we may ask you for authentication information, such as any required password provided to you by the Payee or that you created in order to access the Payee website. When you provide this information, you authorize the Bank to use such information and to access the Payee's website to retrieve the account billing information on your behalf, and you appoint us as your agent for this limited purpose. Payees have their own criteria and may exercise their sole discretion in deciding to accept or deny requests to provide eBills. We are not responsible if a Payee denies the request to provide an eBill, or does not provide the necessary data to forward an eBill in a timely manner.

Contact Information

You need to ensure that your contact information is current with Payees at all times, as we are unable to update or change your information, (e.g., name, address, phone number(s) and email address(es)) that you have established with a Payee. You will need to update such information by contacting the Payee directly. Additionally, it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for the Payee website.

Other Important Terms

  • If you do not receive an eBill, you are responsible for contacting the Payee directly. We are not responsible for any late charges or other adverse consequences. All questions regarding your eBill should be directed to your Payee.
  • We will attempt to make all of your eBills available to you promptly through the Bill Pay service. In addition to notification within Bill Pay, you may choose to receive a notification to the email address listed for your Bill Pay Eligible Account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your contact information is accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically log on to Bill Pay and check on the delivery of new eBills.

Responsibility for Timely Payment

  • You may manage and schedule automatic Payments to your eBill-enabled Payees. eBill automated Payments are different than recurring Auto Pays in that the amount of your payment may change from billing cycle to billing cycle.
  • You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all eBills, regardless of whether or not we provide you with eBills on a timely or complete basis. Copies of previously delivered eBills must be requested from the Payee directly.
  • We are not responsible for the underlying accuracy of your eBill(s). Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your eBill summary or detail must be addressed to the Payee directly. This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that may currently exist between you and your Payee(s).
  • If a Payee notifies us that it is no longer providing eBills, or we no longer make this feature available via Bill Pay, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you and in accordance with applicable law.
  • Regardless of the Authorized Account Owner who enrolls in eBills, the terms of this Agreement apply to all Authorized Account Owners, individually and jointly.
  • You understand and agree that eBills are provided for your convenience, and payments due will continue to be your sole responsibility.
  • For eBill accounts that are in default or subject to an automatic stay in bankruptcy, we may, at our sole option, elect to discontinue delivering eBills.

Questions and Errors

In case of questions or errors about the eBill or Bill Pay services, you may send us a secure email, or contact Customer Contact Center at 1-877-968-7962. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we send the first paper or online statement on which the problem or error appeared. If you notify us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days. When you tell us about the problem, please include:

  • Your name and Account number; and
  • A description of the error or the transaction you are unsure about, and explain why you believe it is in error or what additional information you need; and
  • The name of the Payee if the transaction in question is a payment; and
  • The date and dollar amount of any suspected error.

We will give you the results of our investigation within 10 Business Days (or 20 Business Days if your account was opened less than 30 days prior to the date of the suspected error) after we hear from you. If we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (or 90 days if your account was opened less than 30 days prior to the date of the suspected error) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit the account in question within 10 Business Days (or 20 Business Days if your account was opened less than 30 days prior to the date of the suspected error) 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. Such crediting is referred to as a provisional credit. You agree and authorize us to make an electronic transfer to your account to make such provisional credit. 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 provisionally credit the account(s) that was the subject of your complaint.

We will give you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we find 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. If we provisionally credit your account, we may take back the amount of any credit if we find that an error did not occur. You agree and authorize us to debit your account to take back the amount or claim a refund from you for such amount.

You must be enrolled in Online Services, have an Eligible Account, have a valid email address, an application or web browser capable of rendering PDF documents for Desktop and Mobile Web Platforms, and equipment as set forth in the Equipment and Supported Browsers section of the Agreement and on Mobile Application to participate in eStatements and other communications.

eStatements Delivery

Enabling eStatements means you agree to receive your periodic statements for Eligible Account via electronic delivery ("eStatements"), and we will no longer mail paper statements to you for such Eligible Account. All Account Owners will be bound by the decision of the Account Owner who enrolls in or cancels the service. Periodic account statements will remain available for at least 24 months through Online Services. Preferences can be managed by accessing the Manage eStatements page in the Service Center section of Online Services. By registering for this service, you agree that instead of receiving a paper statement each month, you will receive an e-mail notice, to be delivered to your designated primary e-mail address when your eStatement is available to view. You may access your eStatements and any Account Disclosures included within your eStatement by logging in to Online Services and selecting the appropriate links to view your eStatements and any included Account Disclosures.

E-Mail Communications

You must provide us with a correct e-mail address that will be used to deliver e-mail notifications when a new eStatement is available to view via Online Services. You understand that it is your responsibility to update your e-mail address to ensure proper delivery of eStatements and other Electronic Communications (as further described below). Should you change your e-mail address for any reason, you will notify us immediately to ensure that Online Services, eStatements, and any other communications are not interrupted. To update, add, or delete your e-mail address, log into Online Services via the Desktop Platform and select Services / Manage My Contact Information or Messages / Manage Contact Points. You may also update your e-mail address by contacting Customer Care at 1-877-968-7962.

Other Electronic Communications

Electronic Communications we may provide includes, but are not limited to the following:

  • Periodic statements or billing statements
  • Legal or regulatory disclosures
  • Account Disclosures
  • Notices (e.g. overdraft, delinquency, request for additional information)
  • Privacy notices

If Electronic Communications are selected, you agree to permit the Bank to provide, notices and Account disclosures, based on the types elected by the Bank, to you in electronic form instead of providing such in paper form. All Electronic Communications that we provide will be accessible either by e-mail or through our Online Service. While we may, as a courtesy, send you an email notice that your communication is available; it is ultimately your responsibility to promptly review any communications provided to you through this service. You agree that you will notify us as soon as possible in the event that you are unable to access any Electronic Communications that have been made available to you.

Unless otherwise stated, all Electronic Communications are subject to the same terms and conditions outlined in your Electronic Notification Terms and Conditions. Please review the applicable Account Disclosures for additional important information regarding Electronic Communications.

How to Withdraw Consent

You may withdraw your consent to receive eStatementsand other Electronic Communications at any time by calling us at 1-877-968-7962 or by accessing the Manage eStatements page in the Service Center section of Online Services. Withdrawal of consent should be received at least ten (10) business days before the end of your normal statement cycle.

Some Accounts charge a monthly paper statement fee. In the event you withdraw your consent to receive eStatements, you may incur a monthly paper statement fee. You may call Customer Care at 1-877-968-7962 or review your Account Disclosures for details on paper statement fees.

If, after enabling eStatements, you can no longer access eStatements due to the inability to meet the Equipment and Supported Browser requirements, you have the right to withdraw consent for eStatements and you will not be charged for paper statement delivery. If you are unable to meet the Equipment and Supported Browser requirements and to avoid the paper statement fee, you must contact Customer Care at 1-877-968-7962.

Additional Provisions for Paper Copies

You can obtain a paper copy of any eStatement or other notice or disclosure by printing it yourself or by requesting that we mail you a paper copy. To request a paper copy, contact us by telephone at 1-877-968-7962 or use the Request a Statement Copy page in the Service Center section of Online Services. You will incur an Activity Printout Fee for our delivery of paper copies of any eStatement. Such fee is set forth in the Schedule of Fees applicable to the Account for which the Electronic Communication relates.

We reserve the right to provide a paper copy (instead of electronic) of any Communication that you have authorized us to provide and for which you have not withdrawn consent. If we choose to provide you with a paper periodic statement you will incur a monthly or quarterly Paper Statement Fee, if your Account is not exempt from such fee (see your Account Disclosures for more information). Any other Electronic Communication, which we are required to provide you, will be provided via paper copy without any additional charge.

III. Limitation of Woodforest National Bank's Liability

Failure to Complete a Transaction

Woodforest National Bank will not be liable for any losses resulting from circumstances over which we have no control, including, but not limited to, the failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communications lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, operator errors, log-in sequences, war and other acts of hostility, severe weather, earthquakes, floods, or other such events.

The Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to make payments to Payees based on receipt of your instructions. In addition to other limitations on liability as set forth in this Agreement, we and our service providers shall not incur any liability to you if we cannot complete a payment or other transaction because of one or more of the following:

  • Bill Pay is not working properly and you know or have been informed about the malfunction before you request a bill payment;
  • If, through no fault of our own, your Eligible Account or any associated Overdraft Service (as defined in the Woodforest National Bank Account Disclosures or additional applicable agreement with Woodforest) does not contain sufficient funds to complete a payment;
  • If, through no fault of our own, a Payee does not allocate the funds received in accordance with your payment instructions;
  • You have not provided us with the correct Eligible Account information, or the correct name, address, email address, phone number, or account/invoice information for the Payee;
  • Circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of a payment or transfer transaction, and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances;
  • Circumstances beyond our control, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Payees or financial institutions, which may result in a payment taking longer to be credited to your Payee account than expected.
  • If you, or anyone you allow, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation;
  • If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device or any part of the electronic fund transfer system is not working properly;
  • If you have not properly followed the instructions for using eBills, Bill Pay, or any function of Woodforest Online Services.
  • We will not be responsible for any charges, including applicable finance charges and late fees, or any other action taken (such as an increase in interest rate) by a Payee resulting from a payment that you have not scheduled properly with sufficient time for either us or the Payee to process on a timely basis. We also are not responsible in the event a Payee refuses or is unable to process a payment you have requested. In addition, we will not be liable if any third party, through whom any bill payment is to be made, fails to properly transmit the payment to the intended Payee. We also reserve the right to discontinue supporting a specific Payee for any reason.
  • We will also not be liable if: (a) a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the Account; (b) the Account is closed or frozen; or (c) any part of the electronic funds transfer system network is not working properly. We do not recognize "Grace Periods," "Pay To," or "Late After" dates when considering the reimbursement of late fees or finance charge.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions is applicable, if Bill Pay (a) causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Bill Pay Eligible Account, or (b) causes funds from your Bill Pay Eligible Account to be directed to a Payee that does not comply with your payment instructions, we will be responsible for returning the improperly paid funds to your Bill Pay Eligible Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected funds. In addition, with respect to a Bill Pay Eligible Account in good standing, we will reimburse verified late fees, if any, that directly result from a payment delivered after its Deliver By Date up to $50 per late fee incurred, as long as the payment instruction was submitted accurately, and in accordance with the guidelines described under Section II Bill Pay above, and none of the circumstances listed immediately above applies. We must receive a claim for any such late payment within 75 days of its occurrence, and which claim must be accompanied by reasonably sufficient documentation to support it.
