Online Bill Pay
Online banking “Bill Pay” allows you to pay bills from your Milford Bank checking account. Using Bill Pay eliminates the time consuming and costly process of writing checks, addressing envelopes and paying for postage. These electronic bill payments (e-pays) are processed by a company called CheckFree. They process these transactions one of two ways. The first is called “Electronic to Check.” That is where a paper check is sent to the payee. The second is called “Electronic.” That is where an electronic credit is made to the payee’s bank account.
Using these two methods allows you the flexibility of making electronic payments to vendors, whether or not they are set up to receive purely electronic payments. This way, whether it’s a check for your gas bill, or a birthday check to your nephew, the transaction can be processed electronically. And, since the funds are removed from your account at the time of sending the check, the check is guaranteed. It’s like paying your bills with a cashier’s check. Additional features:
Fast Payment Processing
Our Online Bill Pay service features a dynamic calendar tool which will display the earliest available payment date for each of your payees. More than half of all payments sent electronically may be sent on the same day or the next day. The calendar will show all possible payment dates over a two month period and can highlight the current date and the bill’s due date.
Bill Reminders
Bill reminders will allow you to set preferences for receiving e-mail notifications reminding you your bill has arrived and/or your bill needs to be paid. This tool enables you to control the entire bill payment life cycle.
Additional Enhancements
Numerous other features will contribute to the simplicity, speed, control and convenience of your online banking experience. Some of them are: “smart pages” that alter based on the task you are trying to complete, payment confirmation numbers, memos, notes, automatic payment editing, etc.
Best of all – use of online banking and bill pay is free!
