Bill
Payment Service
The Bill Payment service allows you to schedule bill payments through
FARMERS STATE BANK ONLINE Personal Internet Banking. You
must complete a separate Enrollment Form to subscribe to this service.
The Bank does not provide the service directly. Instead, the Bank
entered into an agreement with a bill payment provider to provide
the bill payment services directly to you. A bill payment account
("Bill Payment Account"), separate from any account you
hold at the Bank, is established at the Bill Payment provider.
The
Bank and its Bill Payment provider reserve the right, at their discretion,
to implement security features to reduce the risk of loss. These
may include requiring pre-authorized drafts, verifying funds through
an ATM network, and separating debits from credits so that payments
are not sent until after good funds are received. The Bank and its
Bill Payment provider also reserve the right to terminate your use
of Bill Payment Services at any time.
Unauthorized
or Erroneous Transactions
You have certain rights and liabilities in instances where you believe
1) your User ID and Password have been stolen; 2) that someone has
transferred or may transfer money from your accounts without your
permission; 3) your statement reflects transfers that you did not
make; or 4) there is an error on your account. In all of these instances,
to ensure timely notice to the Bank and expedite resolution of any
problems or questions, please contact us by writing or calling:
