The Bill Payment option allows you to pay bills from your Manasquan Bank checking account. Bill Payment eliminates the time-consuming process of writing checks, addressing envelopes and applying stamps. First, you’ll create a list of payees, either businesses or individuals by entering the information requested on the “Add New Payee” screen. You must complete the entire “Add New Payee” screen, otherwise you will receive an error message. After you have entered the payees you intend to pay, you must then provide instructions for their payment. Clicking on the Pay Bills button brings up the “Select Bills to Pay” screen. Enter the appropriate transmit date and payment amount in the fields shown for the bills you wish to pay. Since all of the payees you have set up for the Bill Payment service will be displayed, payments will only be made to payees with dollar amounts other than $0.00 in the “Amount” field.
When you first start paying bills using our bill payment service, we suggest you schedule all your payments in advance of their respective due dates. As a general guideline, allow at least ten business days from the payment transmit for your initial payment to be received by each new payee. Allow at least five business days between the transmit date for subsequent payments to be received by each payee.
Anytime you like, you can enter your payee list, highlight who you want to pay and enter the amount. In addition, you can choose between making one-time payments set for a future date or recurring payments, such as mortgage and insurance. All payments must be scheduled for a business day. In order for a payment instruction to be considered received on a specific date, it must be received prior to 2:30 p.m. local time. Payment instructions received on weekends or holidays will be considered received on the next business day.
