An external transfer allows you to move funds between a MidFirst checking, savings or money market account you have established within Personal Online Banking and a checking, savings or money market account you have at another financial institution or another individual's MidFirst account.

There is no charge for incoming or outgoing external transfers.

You may use a checking, money market or savings account for the external transfer service.

Please contact your bank or other financial institution to verify the correct routing and account numbers. Some credit unions may have a different account number than what is noted on your statements.

No, you can only transfer funds to your accounts held at a United States financial institution.

Daily limits apply to all external transfer transactions processed in the daily cutoff batch process at 6 p.m. Central time. This includes all transactions scheduled after the 6 p.m. Central time cutoff from the previous processing day. All transactions scheduled over a weekend are processed and included in Monday's daily aggregate count. Please review your Personal Online Banking Agreement for other important information regarding external transfer limitations.

You may schedule up to 16 external transfers in one day, eight outgoing and eight incoming. Please review your Personal Online Banking documents for other important information regarding external transfer limitations.

Funds transferred into your account by external transfer will be available on the third business day following the scheduled external transfer date. Any funds transferred to a newly opened account will not be available until the fifth business day following the scheduled external transfer date.

To schedule transfer funds on a future date between your eligible MidFirst accounts and external accounts, log in to Personal Online Banking and select the "Pay and Transfers" tab.

Click the continue button and then review the information. If it is correct, click the submit button.

To set up a recurring transfer, log in to Personal Online Banking and select the "Pay and Transfers" tab. Select "Make a Recurring External Transfer."

Then choose when to end the recurring transfer: "Continue indefinitely," "Continue until a certain date" or "Continue for this number of transfers." Click the continue button and then review the information. If it is correct, click the submit button.

To change or delete a recurring external transfer, log in to Personal Online Banking and select "Pay and Transfers," and choose "Scheduled Transfers." Next, click on "Edit" or "Delete" for the external transfer you want to change or delete.

Because the external account is not a MidFirst account, it will not show up on the "Accounts Overview" screen. The account number will be displayed in the drop down lists when you choose to set up a one-time or recurring external transfer.

Bill Pay allows you to set up payments to businesses and individuals. Once you enter a payment instruction, the request is submitted at 8 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). Depending on the payee, your payment will be sent electronically or by paper check the next business day. The funds are deducted from your bill payment account on the scheduled date.

Minimum payment lead times will be provided on the bill payment page, based on whether the payee accepts electronic payments or paper check payments (designated by a paper check symbol). Payments to electronic payees should be scheduled a minimum of three business days before the payment due date, and for paper checks a minimum of six business days before the payment due date.

Bill Pay is free for consumer checking accounts. See MidFirst Bank's Fee Schedule for details.

No, you will not incur additional charges if you pay bills from more than one account.

Most accounts will have immediate access to Bill Pay after enrolling.

Checking accounts are the only type of accounts eligible to pay bills using Bill Pay.

Online bill payments may only be made in U.S. dollars to a United States payee, which includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and international U.S. military bases.

Payments cannot be made in foreign currency or to international payees. In addition, you cannot pay court-ordered payments or tax payments, such as alimony, child support or Internal Revenue Service payments. For payments to U.S. government agencies, Bill Pay has limited ability to research any issues that may arise due to the government's strict adherence to the Consumer Privacy Act. Bill Pay will not be responsible for any late fees or penalties that may be incurred by these types of payments.

No, your payees do not need to do anything different to process online bill payments and your payment information is clearly indicated on the payment.

To add a payee in Bill Pay, go to "Pay Bills" and type the payee name in the "Pay someone new" box. If the company is not listed, you can manually enter the payee information.

Setting up a new payee takes only minutes. Once the new payee is entered, you can begin paying bills to them immediately.

To delete a payee from Bill Pay, cancel scheduled payments for the payee by accessing the "Scheduled Payments" screen and click "Cancel."  Go to the "My Payees" list and select the payee name you would like to delete.  From this screen, choose "Delete" and your payee will be deleted.

Your payee will receive either an Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic payment or a paper check. The payment is appended with information you have provided, such as your name and account number, so the payee can properly credit your payment.

You may schedule a one-time future payment up to 364 days in advance.

For a future-dated payment, this should be the date you want your payment transmitted, which is the date the payment is extracted for processing. To ensure on-time payment, allow at least six business days for paper checks and three business days for electronic payments.

Yes, you may make multiple payments to the same payee on the same day, provided the payment amounts are different. For your protection, the system will not pay duplicate items to the same payee on the same day.

Any new bill payments entered by 8 p.m. Central time will be accepted for processing that day. If they are future dated, they will remain in the pending queue until 8 p.m. Central time on that date. Payments entered after the deadline will be processed the next business day.

If the payment is still pending, you can make changes. However, once the payment has been transmitted, you can no longer make changes or delete the payment.

You can cancel or modify your payment online any time before 8 p.m. Central time on the payment transmission date.

Personal Online Banking does not provide this option. However, if you wish to make multiple recurring payments to the same payee, you could set up the vendor as two separate payees, one for each type of payment. For example, you could pay ABC Insurance on the fifth of each month for car insurance, then again on the 15th of each month for home insurance.

Yes, you can edit the amount of a recurring pending payment by clicking on "Scheduled Payments" and changing the pending payment amount. If one of the payments has already been made, you will first need to change the start date of the recurring pending payment to the date when the next payment should be processed. You can then change the amount. This change will only affect the payments that have not yet been made.

To change a payee name and address, from the "My Payees" list, click the "Payee" to view details.  You can select "Change Information" to make the necessary changes. If the payee was manually entered, you may change the payee phone number, account number, nickname, category, and name on the account.  For other changes regarding payees that were not manually entered, delete the payee and re-enter it with the correct information.

Before a payment is made, the bank will verify the balance of your Bill Pay funding account. If sufficient funds are not in that account on the scheduled payment date, the payment may be delayed or canceled. If the payment is made, your account is subject to the standard overdraft fee as stated in MidFirst Bank's Fee Schedule. Once your account becomes overdrawn, all other pending payments are placed on hold until your account balance becomes positive again.

Bill payments are processed Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

The funds are deducted from your bill payment account on the scheduled date.

Bill payment reporting is not "real time" and reports do not reflect bill payment activity until the following day.

The "Total Paid" only includes those payment transactions that have already been processed and paid. Pending and canceled payments are not included in this total.

You cannot place a stop payment on a bill payment that was sent electronically or that has already cleared the bank. However, if the payment was made via a paper check that has not yet cleared, you may contact Personal Online Banking Support at 888.MIDFIRST (888.643.3477) and press option 6 to arrange for a stop payment.

An eBill is an electronic version of your bill that you receive directly within Personal Online Banking.

Yes, eBills are free.

Sign in to Personal Online Banking, and click the "Set up eBill" link under the payee name displayed on the Bill Pay screen and follow the online instructions.

If you enter an invalid user ID or password, you will be presented with an error message stating there was a credentials failure and a prompt to correct. If it fails again, you will receive the same message again. The system does not have a limit on how many times a user can try this, but the biller may lock the customer out of their website

If you are un-enrolled from their online banking or Bill Pay, all eBill relationships with their payees will be discontinued for the customer. Our system will send a notification to the payee that the customer should be removed from the eBill file. The customer will no longer have access to their eBill (unless they saved the electronic file to their computer) through online banking or Bill Pay. A customer will also be responsible for reinitiating their paper bill.

Yes, you can make changes or delete the auto-pay setup for an eBill.

We can take requests for eBill functionality, but we cannot guarantee it will be added to the list.

Yes, you can set up an alert to send you an email notification when your eBill arrives.
