Using Business Online Banking and Bill Pay Tips

Below is helpful information to make your use of Business Online Banking and Bill Pay services as quick and easy as possible.

Home Screen

The home screen provides a summary of your account information.  It's also a multi-tasking center where you can complete common transactions.

At a glance, you'll see if there are any new messages or alerts that have been sent to you. Click on the blue number next to the ALERTS icon to read them.  You can create and edit email or SMS text alerts through MANAGE ALERTS to always be notified of certain actions on your accounts.  Add your email address and/or cell phone number under CONTACT OPTIONS and then select ALERT OPTIONS to create and edit your alert preferences.      

The ACCOUNTS list provides a snapshot of all your accounts along with the current balance. Click RECENT to view the ten most recent transactions without leaving the home screen.  

PAYMENTS & TRANSFERS allow you to quickly review wire, ACH and internal transfers.  

From the home screen you can also conduct:

  • Quick Internal Transfers
  • Launch ACH, ACH Import, Wire and Wire Imports
  • Go to Bill Pay
  • Launch Positive Pay

Accounts

The ACCOUNTS tab provides you with a collective view of your business accounts.  Click on an account for a detailed view of transactions and activity.  

  • View transactions for the current and previous business day
  • View transactions for the current and previous statement period
  • View 18 months of statement history in Documents. Research your account history and filter the list to search for individual transactions; you can also export transaction activity to your desktop
  • View brief summaries of the account's current status; you can also search for specific transactions or images

Payments & Transfers

Make a one-time transfer or schedule a recurring batch.  Internal transfers, ACH, Wire, and Bill Pay are located under the PAYMENTS & TRANSFERS tab.

Our ACH services allow you to process direct deposit of payroll, payments to vendors, business to business payments, Federal and State/local tax payments, and more.  Create templates for repetitive payments or collections, define frequencies for up to a year in advance, and import NACHA or CSV files directly from your accounting system.

Wire transfers are the fastest way for you to move funds across the country or the world.  Unlike ACH, which provides next-day transfer of funds, wire transfers provide same-day, near-immediate transfer of funds.    

Bill Pay services simplify your business by allowing you to set up automatic, or one-time, payments for recurring bills.  No checks to write, no stamps to purchase, and no envelopes to address or mail.  When you schedule a payment, the payment calendar will indicate the earliest available payment date. The payment date you specify is the date the payment will be received by the payee.   

Checks & Deposits

Stop payment, launch eCheck Deposit, or be connected to Positive Pay under CHECKS & DEPOSITS.

Stop payments allow you to prevent a check from being cashed, for example, if it has been lost or stolen.  

Positive Pay is a cash management system available for no monthly fee for enhanced protection against check fraud.  With Positive Pay, Katahdin Trust will only pay on the checks you have authorized. We'll bring any checks to your attention that you have not authorized.  For more information, contact your local branch or email info@katahdintrust.com. 

The Deposit Checks tab takes you to eCheck Deposit, a service designed to make the deposit process more efficient and flexible by allowing you to deposit checks without leaving your office.  For more information, contact your local branch or email info@katahdintrust.com. 

Administration

The Administration tab allows you to control employee profiles and permission settings and add and approve ACH and wire templates.

Add, delete or change employee settings on your own or ask the Electronic Banking team for assistance by emailing info@katahdintrust.com.
