When
and how are the payments processed?
Payments
submitted, recurring or one time, before 3:00 AM EST Monday-Friday will be
processed at 3:00 AM EST. Payments submitted between
3:00 AM EST and 1:00 PM EST
will be processed at 1:00 PM EST. Payments received after 1:00 PM EST on
Monday-Thursday will be processed the next business day. Payments received
after 1:00 PM EST on Friday will be processed the next business day. All
payments scheduled to go on a weekend will be processed on the processing day
before the weekend. All payments scheduled to go on a holiday will be processed
the day before that date. Payments entered on the weekend, recurring or one
time, will be processed on the next business day.
What
happens if I have a scheduled payment that falls over a weekend or holiday?
If a
SCHEDULED payment falls on a holiday or weekend, it will be paid on the Friday
BEFORE the weekend, or the last working day BEFORE the holiday.
Can
I use Online Bill Payment if I live outside the U.S.?
Yes, as
long as you have a bank account in the United States. However, you cannot pay
bills to payees located outside the United States.
Can
I get a copy of a cancelled check?
Yes. You
will need to contact the bank for this information.
How
long is history retained in the View Payment History section?
Payment
history for active and deleted payees is retained and viewable 18 months
How
far in advance should I set up a payment to ensure it is paid on time?
For an
ELECTRONIC PAYMENT, allow 3 business days from when the payment is submitted.
For a
CHECK payment, the check will be in the mail on the same day the payment is
submitted if it is submitted before the 3 a.m. processing. If the check payment
is entered before 1:00 PM EST, the check will be mailed the following morning.
Allow 5 to 7 business days for a check payment.
Please
note that we have no control over the U.S. Postal Service.
Are
there minimum and maximum payment amounts?
Electronic payments are validated against the
available account balance prior to processing, and check payments settle
against your account like any other check, therefore, there is no dollar
limitation on payments made through PowerPay. You are limited only by the
amount of funds in your account.
Can I
have multiple payments to the same payee on the same day?
At this
time, there is nothing that checks for multiple payments for the same amounts
going to the same vendor on the same day.
Can
I stop a payment?
Only
check payments can be stopped after the check is printed and mailed, payment
history will show the check number for that payment. The stop payment would be
added in the same manner as for a regular check written out of your checkbook
Whom
can I pay through Online Bill Payment?
You can
pay ANYONE in the United States
from the next-door neighbor, to the utility company, to the bank, and even a
child in college across the country.
What
do the status fields indicate on the Payment History Page?
Processed
- The payment has been processed and sent.
Rejected
NSF-The payment that you have tried sending has rejected due to Non-sufficient
funds.
NSF
payments will keep trying until one of the following happens: the funds become
available; if it’s a recurring payment and it expires, or if you delete the
payment.
Communication Failure-There was an error due to communication problems.
The payment will try again
during the next processing run.
Vendor Refund
- Payment rejected at Princeton E-Com.
How
many payees may I have set up?
There is
no limit to the amount of payees you can set up through the Internet.
Can
I edit Payee addresses?
No. Once
an address is entered it stays with that payee. If you need to change an
address it will be necessary to recreate the payee using the new address.
How
do I know if a payee is electronic or check?
Once you
have set up the payee, then you can look at the PAYEE
LIST screen and you will see a field that will tell you if the payee is
electronic or check.
What
payment frequencies are available?
You can
set up payments in any of the following frequencies:
Weekly
Bi-weekly
Monthly
Semi-monthly
Quarterly
Annually
Semi-annually
When
can you edit the dollar amount on a scheduled recurring payment?
You may
edit the dollar amount the next business day after the scheduled payment
date.
Can
I postdate recurring payments?
If a
monthly recurring payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date
is November 12th, a payment will be scheduled for the month of November and set
up to occur the 15th of every month until the end date is reached. However, if
the payment is set up to be paid on the 15th and the current date is November
16th, the first payment will occur on December 15th.
Can
I postdate a single payment?
Yes. Just
set the payment date for a valid future date.
Will
the memo field I fill out when setting up a payment be passed on to the payee?
Yes, your
memo will appear on paper check bill payments. The memo field is 40 characters
long. Any amount over 40 characters will be cut off. Memo field information
will not appear on electronic payments.
Are
there any merchants that I cannot pay through the Bill Payment service?
No. Any
merchant that is on Princeton's database can go electronically. If a merchant
is not on the list you may send the payment as a check. Make sure that you
enter your merchant account number exactly the way it appears on your bill. If
you choose a merchant on the electronic database that requires an address match,
choose the correct remittance address listed on your bill.
When
will the money be taken out of my account?
For an
ELECTRONIC PAYMENT, funds are debited the same day that the payment is sent,
providing it is sent by 1 PM EST. Electronic payments submitted after 1:00 PM
EST are debited the next day during bill pay processing.
CHECK
payment funds are debited from the account when the check clears your account at
the bank.
What
if I do not have enough money in my account?
CHECK
payments are handled in the same manner as a check written out of your checkbook
against an insufficient balance.
ELECTRONIC payments are verified for funds availability during processing. If
the funds are available, the account that you selected for the payment will be
debited and the information sent on to Princeton for processing. If the funds
are not available, the payment will not be processed and you will receive
a message to inform you that the payment could not be sent due to insufficient
funds. Each day the payment will be resubmitted for you until either you delete
the payment or the funds are in the account to make the payment.
How
late in the day can I enter, edit, or delete a payment?
You may
add, edit, or delete a payment up to 3:00 AM EST on the day the payment is
scheduled to be sent. If a same day payment is submitted between 3:00 AM EST and
1:00 PM EST it may be edited up until 1:00 PM EST.

Depending on the number of files involved, this option can take a while to
process.)

Select Start...Programs (or All Programs)...Accessories...System
Tools...Disk Cleanup.

NetTeller customers
who experience problems accessing the NetTeller server can attempt the following
steps to resolve the problem:
1)
Determine which version of browser is in use.
a.
NetTeller supports versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator 4.0 or greater. The
Encryption Level must be at least 128-bit encryption.
Start your browser, choose the “Help” menu, then the “About
Internet Explorer” or “About Netscape” option, as appropriate.
This dialog box will display the version, as well as indicating the
encryption level.
b.
AOL users should use at least version 5.0.
This can be determined by starting AOL, closing the “Sign On” dialog
box by clicking the X in the corner of the “Sign On” window (NOT the larger
“America Online” window!), then choosing the “Help” menu, then the
”About America Online” option. Versions
5.0 or higher already have 128-bit encryption.
2)
Ensure java is enabled.
a.
In Internet Explorer, choose the “Tools” menu, and the “Internet
Options…” option. Click the
“Security” tab, click the icon for the “Internet” Web content zone,
click the “Custom Level” button, and ensure that the “Java permissions”
option is not set to “Disabled” or “Custom”.
Further down, ensure that “Scripting of Java applets” is not set to
“Disabled”.
b.
AOL users should choose the “Settings” menu, then the
“Preferences” option. In the
resulting “Preferences” dialog box, choose the “Internet Properties
(WWW)” link. This will take you
to an “AOL Internet Properties” dialog box, similar to the Internet Explorer
browser “Internet Options” dialog box.
Click the “Security” tab, click the icon for the “Internet” Web
content zone, click the “Custom Level” button, and ensure that the “Java
permissions” option is not set to “Disabled” or “Custom”.
Further down, ensure that “Scripting of Java applets” is not set to
“Disabled”.
c.
In Netscape, choose the “Edit” menu, then the “Preferences”
option. In the resulting
“Preferences” dialog box, click on the “Advanced” option.
Make sure that the “Enable Java” option is selected and click
“OK”
3)
Ensure that cookies are enabled for the NetTeller site.
a.
In Internet Explorer, choose the “Tools” menu, and the “Internet
Options…” option. Click the
“Privacy” tab. Click the
“Edit” button in the “Web Sites” section.
For “Address of Web site”, type “netteller.com”, click the
“Allow” button, and click “OK”.
b.
AOL users should choose the “Settings” menu, then the
“Preferences” option. In the
resulting “Preferences” dialog box, choose the “Internet Properties
(WWW)” link. This will take you
to an “AOL Internet Properties” dialog box, similar to the Internet Explorer

the “Edit” button in the “Web Sites” section.
For “Address of Web site”, type “netteller.com”, click the
“Allow” button, and click “OK”.

option. In the resulting
“Preferences” dialog box, double-click on the “Privacy & Security”
option to expand it (if it is not already expanded).
Click on the “Cookies” option. Make
sure Cookies are not disabled. (Any
of the other options should work.) You
might also try choosing the “Manage Stored Cookies” option, selecting the
NetTeller cookies, and removing them by clicking the “Remove Cookie” button.
4)
Clear your Internet browser caches.
a.
In Internet Explorer, choose the “Tools” menu, and the “Internet
Options…” option. Click the
“General” tab, and click the “Delete Cookies” and “Delete Files”
buttons in the “Temporary Internet files” section.
(If you wish, you may try taking just the "Delete Files"
option, first. If this resolves the
problem, you will not need to delete your cookie files.)
WARNING: This action
will clear all of the user’s Temporary Internet Files and Cookies, not just
those for NetTeller!
b.
AOL users should choose the “Settings” menu, then the
“Preferences” option. In the
resulting “Preferences” dialog box, choose the “Internet Properties
(WWW)” link to bring up the “AOL Internet Properties” dialog box.
Click on the “General” tab, and click the “Delete Cookies” and
“Delete Files” buttons in the “Temporary Internet files” section.
(If you wish, you may try taking just the "Delete Files"
option, first. If this resolves the
problem, you will not need to delete your cookie files.) WARNING: This
action will clear all of the user’s Temporary Internet Files and Cookies, not
just those for NetTeller!
c.
In Netscape, choose the “Edit” menu, then the “Preferences”
option. In the resulting
“Preferences” dialog box, double-click on the “Advanced” option to
expand it (if it is not already expanded).
Click on the “Cache” option. Click
the “Clear Memory Cache” and “Clear Disk Cache” buttons.
(If you wish, you may try taking these options one at a time. If one resolves the problem, you will not need to perform the
other.) WARNING:
This action will clear all of the user’s Cache Files, not just those
for NetTeller!
5)
If the problem still exists, try another secure site, if possible, to
determine if the problem is specific to NetTeller, or if all secure sites are
affected.
6)
If you are an AOL user, determine if the problem is specific to the AOL
browser by connecting to AOL; then (while still connected), open Internet
Explorer (make sure Internet Explorer is 128-bit encryption-enabled, with java
and cookies enabled), and try the NetTeller site again.
If this works, then the problem is likely AOL-browser-related.
7)
Check for a nearly full hard drive, or low system ram memory, which would
slow access and cause the browser to time out when trying to reach the server.
8)
If possible, try accessing the site from a different computer, using the
same Internet Service Provider and connection method.
9)
For AOL users, check the AOL Personal Filing Cabinet for excessive
entries, which may slow the AOL application down to the point that it times out
and delivers an error message.
