Direct Pay and Auto Pay Terms and Conditions and Electronic Authorization Consent

General:

These terms and conditions govern each use of the expedited payment service (the “Payment Service”) offered by Crescent Bank & Trust, through Paymentus Corporation (hereafter, “Crescent” or “we” or “us” may be used to refer to both Crescent Bank and Paymentus Corporation). The Payment Service will allow you to electronically debit your bank account and/or debit card account for the purpose of making expedited payments on your credit obligation with Crescent (your “Crescent Account”). If you use the Payment Service, you will authorize Crescent to initiate debit entries to your bank account and/or debit card account to make a Crescent Account payment.   

Crescent may use one or more third-party service providers to offer the Payment Service. Crescent Bank may change the Payment Service provider without further notice.   

You are not obligated to use the Payment Service and you are free to make payments by mail or other means.

By using the Payment Service, or permitting any other person or other entity to use the Payment Service on your behalf, you acknowledge that you have read these terms and conditions and that you accept and will be bound by the terms thereof. From time to time these terms and conditions may be changed by us. When such a modification is made, we will post a revised version of the terms and conditions on this web site, without notification. It is your responsibility to review these terms and conditions to be aware of any such change. Your continued use of the Payment Service will indicate your agreement to any such change. We reserve the right to add to, remove, change or terminate access to any of the content or functions of the Payment Service without giving specific notice to you. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, you may not use the Payment Service. Access or attempted access by unauthorized individuals may be subject to prosecution. Any use of the Payment Service is at your sole risk.

Payment Options:

Payments may only be made using a debit/checking account or debit card. At any time, you may make a one-time payment through the “One Time Payment” link on the customer portal. This payment will be for the amount you select and shall be made on the date you request. If you do not select a future date, it will default to the current date.

When setting up recurring payments, you have four options:

Each payment option will cause payment to recur indefinitely on the schedule you provide unless you select an End Date. Note that payments may continue to be debited even if your account is fully paid. It is your responsibility to cancel any payments following the full payment of your loan or for any other reason. Crescent Bank will return any overage payments as soon as reasonably possible, however, it will not be responsible for any costs, fees, or any other inconvenience related to the overpayment and the lack of availability of the funds.

Fees:

You will be charged a fee for each payment that you make through the Payment Service, with the exception of recurring payments. All applicable fees will be displayed on the payment confirmation screen. The fee will be deducted from your bank account or charged to your debit card as part of the total payment amount, as applicable. This fee is in addition to any fee that your bank or debit card provider may assess. In addition, you may be charged a fee for any payments that are returned due to insufficient funds or any other reason.

Payments:

By using the Payment Service to make a payment on your Crescent Account, you are authorizing Crescent, either directly or through a third-party service provider, to debit your bank account or charge your debit card for the amount of the payment plus the fee for using the Payment Service. You have the right to stop payment before the Payment Date by removing the scheduled payment online. You may revoke your agreement to these Terms & Conditions at any time by no longer using the Payment Service. We reserve the right to block access to the Payment Service to maintain or restore security to our site and systems and for any other reason.
