TRANSACTION PROCEDURES:
You may transfer funds only between eligible accounts. You may make transfers from your eligible checking or savings accounts to certain Village Bank loan accounts. These transfers will be processed as loan payments according to the terms of the individual loan account affected. You may not perform transfers from a Passbook Savings Account. You may not perform transfers to or from a Certificate of Deposit Account online. Because Federal regulations require The Village Bank to limit pre-authorized transfers (including Online Banking transfers), you may not make more than six transfers from your savings account(s) or money market account(s) each statement period whether to accounts you maintain with us or to third parties. All bill payments and transfers are subject to the terms and conditions of the deposit account being accessed. All transfers are made on collected funds only.
External Transfers Through Online Banking And Bill Pay: You can transfer funds to and from your eligible accounts and certain of your designated external accounts (“external accounts”) at eligible third party financial institutions. By using the external transfer’s service of the Village Online Banking and Bill Payment System, you authorize the Bank to initiate individual and/or recurring debit/credit entries to/from (between) your designated account(s) and external account(s) as indicated. For security purposes, you must first set-up an external account at an eligible third party financial institution for external transfers, before you will be able to transfer funds between that external account and your designated account(s) using external transfers. External account set-up may take three (3) business days or more, and includes (among other things) having you verify to the Bank the dollar amounts and dates of two “test” micro deposits (each of less than one dollar) the Bank will make to your external account. If you fail to verify the dollar amounts and dates of these two micro test deposits, we may for security reasons discontinue and cancel the external account set-up and reverse the two micro test deposits. If you do verify the dollar amounts and dates of the two test deposits in a timely fashion, we will reverse the two micro test deposits and finish setting up the external account.
- After your external account has been set up for external transfers, authorization will remain in full force and effect until you cancel;
- Each time you want to add a new external account for external transfers, we will use a similar verification process to the one described above;
Account Information: You may check the balances of your accounts that are accessed by Village Online Banking. NOTE: The balance figure may not reflect your most recent transactions, and may also include funds which may not be immediately available for withdrawal.
Overdrafts: You will have no right to and will not use the Village Online Banking and Bill Payment service to create an overdraft. If an overdraft is created, you will pay to the Bank, promptly, the amount of the overdraft including reasonable attorney’s fees, if incurred by us, in the event you fail to pay.

The “SEND ON” date is the date we will attempt to deduct the payment amount from your designated account. If the attempted deduction fails because you did not have enough funds in your account, we will send you an email indicating this situation. If the second attempted deduction is not successful, the transaction will be cancelled and you will be responsible for rescheduling. If the second attempted deduction is successful, the payment will be processed and remitted to the payee, however, the “DELIVERY BY” date will be one business day later. If you receive an email because the first attempted deduction was not successful, you should access Village Online Banking and Bill Payment to determine the date of the second deduction attempt. The “DELIVERY BY” date is the date that you can expect the payee to receive your payment.
