| Bill Pay |
|
Bill Pay is a service offered with Online Banking that allows customers
to pay any bill2 from the privacy of a personal computer.
Customers can enroll for this service when they sign-up for Internet
Banking or, they can enroll after they sign-up by sending a "Bank
Mail" message ( within Online Banking) stating they would like
to use this service. Bill Pay can help fight Identify Theft, because
all checks sent from this service do not list personally identifiable
information (example: customer's checking account number, address,
social security number).
Once enrolled, Bill Pay is simple to use - just sign in to Online
Banking, click on "Bill Pay" and:
- Create a list of people or businesses you would like to pay
under "Payee List"
- Send one payment or schedule a reoccurring payment under "Payment
Schedule"
- Send multiple payments at once using the "Multi-Pay"
option
- Verify payments have been sent or have cleared using "Payment
History"
All Bill Payments are debited from customers accounts the first
business day of or the first business day after the scheduled payment
date. Some payments are sent electronically while others are sent
using the postal service. Currently, the website does not allow
customers to view how payments will be sent; therefore, it is recommended
to allow seven to ten days for delivery. The "Payment History"
screen will allow a user to view when a payment was sent and if
a payment has cleared. Customers should contact the Bank with any
payment discrepancies. Stopped payments and check images are subject
to fees.
Bill Pay pay is free to customers who have Platinum Checking or
who are enrolled with E-Statements. Customers
who do not receive the service for free will be given a one year
introductory period in which they can make up to ten payments per
month at no charge. After the introductory period, Bill Pay is $3.95
per month plus $0.39 per transaction over ten (not including any
applicable taxes).

For business customers who need more advanced services, Cash Management
can provide a great solution. Cash Management can include ACH (Automated
Clearing Warehouse), Wire Transfer and money ordering tools, to
name a few.
If you are a business or organization who needs more control than
our standard Internet Banking services can provide, please give
us a call to see how we can meet your needs.

| Online Banking Security |
| Central Bank's Online Banking service is hosted
on a 128bit encrypted website and uses some of the best dual-authentication
techniques available. We are constantly striving to provide great
service to our customers but we never compromise on security. If you
have any questions about the security of our services, please feel
free to contact us. |

| Common Problems and Solutions |
- Once a customer has tried to login three times unsuccessfully,
they will be locked out of Online Banking, and will need to contact
the Bank to have their login attempts and/or password reset.
- If a customer using RSA Online Security (dual authentication)
incorrectly answers the Challenge Questions five times, their
account will be locked out and they will need to contact the Bank
to be reset.
- The initial password is in all capital letters. Many customers
unknowingly enter their chosen password with the "CAPS LOCK"
key on. Customers who have logged on successfully once and cannot
login again, may find this to be the cause.
- Pop-up-blockers can interfere with viewing check images. Most
pop-up-blockers are temporarily disabled by holding down the "CTRL"
key on the keyboard while clicking on a link.
- Our Online Banking site uses small files called "COOKIES"
to function. Customers who see an error message relating to "session
expired" while trying to login, should check their "COOKIE"
browser settings. In Internet Explorer they can be found by going
to "Tools" -> "Internet Options" ->
"Privacy" tab -> "Advanced" button ->
check the "Always allow session cookies" option.
- Clearing Temporary Internet files can resolve some error messages
and incorrectly displayed pages. This option can be found under
Tools -> Internet Options -> "Temporary Internet Files".
- Spyware, Adware, Malware and other malicous software can cause
many problems in both accessing Online Banking and protecting
customers security. Having up-to-date Anti-virus and Anti-spyware
software can greatly alleviate these problems.
