Online Banking Service

The Online Banking Service may be used to:

  1. Access your account balances and review transactions.
  2. Transfer funds between your Westbury Bank Account(s). Transfers are processed immediately upon transmit. Transfers processed by 8:00 PM on a business day will immediately be reflected in transaction history. Transfers processed after 8:00 PM or on nonbusiness days will be immediately processed but will not be displayed in transaction history until the morning of the following business day. Because regulations require the Bank to limit pre-authorized transfers, including Online Banking transfers from certain types of accounts, the following limitations apply:
    1. Statement savings account. You can make no more than six transfers per statement period by pre-authorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or Online Banking.
    2. Money Market savings account. You can make no more than six transfers per statement period by pre-authorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or Online Banking.
  3. Make regular loan payments by transferring funds from your related Westbury Bank Account(s). The outstanding principal balance is available for your on-line viewing. You can make a regular loan payment by transferring funds from your checking, savings or money market account to the loan. To obtain a loan payoff quote, please contact Westbury Bank's Loan Servicing Department at 1-262-306-5270 or 1-800-679-8287.
  4. Transfer funds from a personal or home equity line of credit to a related Westbury Bank account. You can review the current available balance and outstanding balance for the Personal and Home Equity Lines of Credit. You can also transfer available funds from those lines of credit to your checking, savings or money market accounts.
  5. Export statements to your personal money management software, such as Quicken or Microsoft Money.
  6. Use the Bill Payment Service to make payments to third parties.

You will continue to receive your regular account statement either monthly or quarterly, depending on the type of account.

Use of Your User Name and Password

You agree not to allow anyone to gain access to the Services or to let anyone know your Password used with the Services. You agree to assume responsibility for all transactions initiated through the Service with your User Name (Social Security number) and Password, up to the limits allowed by applicable law.

Bill Payment Service

The Bill Payment Service may be used to make payments from your designated Account to third parties (Payee) you wish to pay. Your designated Account must be a checking account. You may designate multiple checking accounts. Through the Bill Payment Service, you can pay any business that generates a bill or invoice to you or on your behalf and that has an address we can verify. You can also pay individuals, such as family or friends, for non-business purposes.

Each payment you make will be deducted from the account that you select as your Account for that payment. Any payments you wish to make through the Bill Payment Service must be payable in U.S. dollars to Payees with a United States payment address. You should not use the Bill Payment Service to pay taxes or for making court ordered payments. Payments for these Payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly processed or credited.

  1. Payee List- You may designate an unlimited number of Payees to receive payments through the Bill Payment Service. You must provide sufficient information about each Payee to properly direct a payment to that Payee and permit the Payee to identify the correct account (Payee Account) to credit with your payment. This information may include the name, address and phone number of the Payee and your Payee account number. If the Payee's phone number is not available, then use your phone number.
  2. Scheduling Payments- You may use your Internet enabled device to electronically schedule payments through the Bill Payment Service. There is no date restriction on how far in advance you can schedule a payment. However, the minimum number of days from the Due Date from which you can schedule the payment is 4 business days.

    If the session during which you schedule a payment ends by 12:00 PM (Central Time) on a Business Day, we will be considered to have received it on that day. Otherwise, it will be considered received on the following Business Day.

    You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at regular weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, semi-monthly, quarterly, annual or semi-annual intervals (a "repeating payment"). If a repeating payment is chosen, the bill will be paid automatically each billing period unless you delete the payment on or before 12:00 PM (Central Time) 4 or more business days before the Due Date.

    If your designated Account does not have sufficient funds to make a payment as of the payment Due Date, the payment will be paid and you may be assessed an Overdraft /Insufficient Funds Fee of $35 or a Returned Item Fee of $35. Within 24 - 48 hours, a second attempt to debit the amount of the payment from your Account will be processed. If your designated Account does not have sufficient funds to collect the amount of the payment on the second attempt, you may be assessed another Overdraft /Insufficient Funds Fee of $35 or a Returned Item Fee of $35. In certain circumstances where the Bill Payment Service has agreements with specific Billers, your payment to that biller may be reversed if sufficient funds are not available in your designated Account. When this occurs, payment or payment arrangements with the Biller become your sole responsibility. If your designated Account does not have sufficient funds to collect the Insufficient Funds Fees, we will begin collection efforts to collect those fees. If the Bill Payment Service does not have an agreement with the Biller to reverse the application of the payment, we will begin collection efforts to collect the amount of the payment. Insufficient Fund conditions can lead to the cancellation of bill payment services.
  3. Repeating Payments- You may schedule payments to a Payee to be automatically initiated in a fixed amount on the same date every month. If the Repeating Payment Date falls on a day other than a Business Day in any month, your payment will be initiated the previous Business Day to the Due Date. For example, if you schedule a Repeating Payment with a Due Date of the 25th day of each month, and December 25th is a Friday, the payment will be made on Thursday, December 24th, because December 25th is a bank holiday. Note that differences in the number of days in a month may reduce the number of days between your scheduled Recurring Payment Date and payment due date.
  4. Delivery of Payments- You may enter payments through the Bill Payment Service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Payment Due Dates may not be scheduled for less than 4 business days into the future. Funds must be available in your designated Account on the Due Date, and such funds will be deducted from your Account on the Due Date. Payments are transmitted on Business Days only. If the day you schedule a payment to be transmitted is not a Business Day, funds will be deducted from your designated Account the previous Business Day.

    Payments may be remitted by transferring funds electronically to the Payee or by mailing the Payee a check. Payees generally will receive the payment on the Due Date. This applies regardless of whether the payment is a 1-Time or Repeating Payment. You agree to allow at least five (4) Business Days between the date you enter the payment and the Due Date of the payment. The payment due date is the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the Payee, excluding any applicable grace period. If you do not, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other action taken by the Payee. If you schedule your payment and follow all instructions provided, but the payment is not received by the Payee in a timely manner, we will work with the Payee on your behalf to attempt to have any late fees or charges reversed. If you schedule your payment and follow all instructions provided, but the payment is not received by the Payee in a timely manner, and our attempts to work with the Payee to have any late fees reversed are unsuccessful, you will not be responsible for any fees over $50.00.

    For all payments, we are only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. We will not be liable in any way for damages you incur if you do not have sufficient funds in your Account to make the payment on the Due Date, for changes to the Payee's address or account number with the Payee unless you have advised us of the change at least four Business Days in advance, for the failure of any Payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstances beyond the control of the Bank.
  5. Canceling or Changing Payments- You may electronically change both the payment amount and the Due Date of any pending payment or cancel a payment. Once the service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.
  6. Reviewing Payments- You may review the current month and a specified range of payments made through the Bill Payment Service for each Payee.
