| Q | How do I know that my account information will be secure? |

Bill Pay
| Q | What is Bill Payer? |
|---|---|
| A | It is an AHB Internet Banking feature that allows you to pay all or any of your bills electronically. If the merchant you are paying is not set up to receive electronic payments, this feature automatically prepares and mails a paper check. |
| Q | How do I sign up for the Bill Payment feature? |
| A | Sign up now! |
| Q | Is there a fee for the Bill Pay service? |
| A | Bill Payer is free with E-Statement . A monthly fee will be assessed for any account not receiving E-Statements. An inactivity fee will be assessed if the service is not used for any 90 day period. See fee schedule |
| Q | How far in advance of the due date should I pay bills with Bill Pay? |
| A | In order to ensure timely payment of your bills, please allow four business days for electronic payments and ten business days for check payments to reach your payee by the "Due Date." |
| Q | When will the payments be taken out of my account? |
| A | For an electronic payment, funds are debited the same business day the payment is processed. Check payments are debited from your account when the check clears your account at the bank. |
| Q | What if I do not have enough money in my account? |
| A | Check payments are handled in the same manner as a check written out of your checkbook against an insufficient balance (fees may apply.) Electronic payments will not be processed if the funds are not available and you will receive a message to inform you that the payment could not be sent due to insufficient funds. |
E-Statements
| Q | What is an E-Statement? |
|---|---|
| A | E-Statements are just like your original paper statement(s) only a notification is emailed to you rather than delivered by U.S. Mail. The notification will contain a link in which you will sign into a secure site to access your statement. |
| Q | Will I receive my E-Statements faster than a mailed statement? |
| A | Yes. You will receive your email notification and be able to view your statement the morning after your statement cycles. Mailed statements take two to three business days to reach their destination. They are typically mailed the day after the statement cycles. |
| Q | How long are they viewable online? |
| A | Statements are stored for a minimum of 90 days online. However, at any time during the 90 days, you can save or print the statement to keep as long as you wish. |
| Q | Are E-Statements secure? |
| A | Yes. Our E-statement product uses a "pull" method meaning we do not send any of your confidential information by email. You only receive an email notification which lets you know your statement is ready for viewing and a link to a secure site so you can enter your E-statement User name and Password. |
| Q | Will I still receive my regular statement in the mail in addition to E-Statements? |
| A | No. Once you are enrolled for E-Statements, you will only receive them electronically. |
| Q | What do I do if I forget my E-statement user name or password of if I get locked out? |
| A | Simply call (918) 224-3210 and ask to speak with a customer service representative about E-statements. |
| Q | How do I sign up? |
| A | Sign up now! |
