Online Bill Pay

Can I pay bills through Online Banking?
Yes.  Our Online Bill Payment option is a free service for all Broadway Bank customers.

How do I set-up new Billers with Broadway Bank Bill Pay?
To make the most of the bill payment feature, we suggest that you spend a few minutes collecting your bills and information about the companies you wish to pay. You may add billers by following the instructions below:

  1. Under the TRANSACTIONS tab, click on Bill Payment.  
  2. Click “ADD A BILL”
  3. Select the type of bill you would like to add and click “CONTINUE”. (If you have an account number for the bill, select that option to ensure that your payment is properly credited.)
  4. Type the name of the Biller, and click “SEARCH”.  If the correct name or company appears, enter your account number, complete the additional fields and click “CONTINUE”. You will then receive a message that the company or person has been added.  **To manually enter the Biller’s information, click on the link “Enter all information for your bill” and complete the required fields.

How do I make a payment?
To make a payment, click on the “PAYMENT CENTER” button. Under Pay Bills, enter the amount for the bill you wish to pay. The system will automatically pre-fill the earliest available date in the “PAY DATE” field, or you may click on the calendar to determine the next available date to schedule your payment. Click on “SEND PAYMENT”, and carefully review the information. Next click “CONFIRM PAYMENTS”; you will then receive a “PAYMENT COMPLETE” message and confirmation number.  To verify the bills you have requested to pay, locate “Pending Payments” in the Payment Center.
Note: The funds will be deducted from your checking account on the payment due date if the payment is sent electronically. If sent by check, it will be deducted from your account when the Biller processes the check. Your Biller will be paid by our processor, either electronically (ACH) or by a mailed check.

What should I do to ensure that my Biller receives my payment on the due date?
When you pay bills using Online Banking, payments must be scheduled at least five (5) business days in advance of their due dates.

Can I use Broadway Bank Online Banking to pay repeating bills automatically?
Yes. You can automatically create and send a payment to a Biller at the frequency you specify. Simply select the “Manage My Bills” button, select the Biller’s name from the drop down box, then select “Add an automatic payment”. On the right of the page, enter the payment amount, the first payment date, select the payment frequency, and the number of automatic payments (or until the payment is cancelled). Next, click on the “Set up Payment” button. Online Banking will automatically send the payments you have specified until you cancel the payment.

Can I cancel a bill payment or automatic payment once it is initiated?
Yes. You can cancel any bill payment or automatic payment while its status is “Pending” or until processing has begun. You can cancel payments from the “Pending Payments” section located on the “Payments Center” page, click on “Cancel” and then click “Cancel Payment”.

What should I do if a Biller has not posted my payment?
Sometimes the Biller may not credit your account immediately after receiving your payment. If the payment is not credited in a reasonable amount of time, take the following steps to resolve the problem:

  • Allow five days, after the scheduled “Pay Date”, to see if the Biller credits the payment to your account.
  • If the payment is not applied to your account, call the Billers customer service department to see if they have received your payment.
  • When you call, gather the following information from the biller:
    • The name of the person who assisted you with your payment question The phone number you called to contact the Biller
    • The date you called the Biller to inquire about your payment
    • The amount of any late fees or finance charges that may have been assessed.
  • If you received a late fee but scheduled your payment on time, ask the Biller if they will waive any late fees or finance charges.

If the payment is not credited to your account or if the Biller will not waive the late fees, find the payment in the “RECENT PAYMENTS” section on the “PAYMENT CENTER” page and click on “VIEW BILL HISTORY”. Next, click on “VIEW DETAIL” to send us an inquiry about the payment.

Online Transfers

How can I make payments to my Broadway loan(s) or advance my line of credit through Online Banking?
After signing into Online Banking, under the TRANSACTIONS tab, click on the “Funds Transfer” link. Enter the transfer information by selecting the “to”account, “from” account, the date and amount.  Click on “Submit” to continue, and then click on “Approve” to complete.  Please note:  If the transfer is not approved, it will stay in a drafted status and will not be processed.

Can I make principal only payments to a consumer loan through Online Banking?  
Yes. To make principal only payment, first make a full payment for the current month. Next, make an additional payment for any amount under the monthly loan payment due amount. This payment will be directly applied to principal if the next billing statement has not been mailed.

(Ex: If your payment due is $500, first pay that amount for the current month. Then, make a separate payment for the amount under $500 and it will be applied to principal. Payment amounts equal to or greater than the monthly installment will be applied as the next month’s payment.)

Note:  Memos entered in the “Memo” field of the Transfer screen in Online Banking are for your record keeping purposes only. Information entered, such as “Please apply to principal”, is not taken into consideration as it is not seen by bank personnel until after the payment has been posted to your account.

There is no minimum or maximum dollar amount for loan/line payments made through Personal Online Banking. Line of credit advances are limited only to the available credit in your account.

When are funds available if the Personal Line of Credit is advanced?
The transferred funds are available immediately in the receiving checking, savings or money market account.

When are payments posted to loan accounts if paid through Personal Online Banking?
Payments are posted overnight to your loan account. It’s important to remember transfers entered after 6:00PM central time may not be processed until the following business day.
