Q: What happens if I do not have enough money in my account to cover the bill payment I have set up?
A: If you request a payment for more than the balance in your account and the payment is to be made electronically, i.e. through the ACH network, in this case your payment will not be made. And, if you request a payment that will be paid by a check, the check will be written and the check will then be processed like any other check. However, when the check is processed by our bank and your account has insufficient funds to cover the check, then you will incur the same non-sufficient funds (NSF) charge for a check you may have written.
