You will need a personal computer, direct dial or cable modem and access to the Internet (Word Wide Web). You are responsible for the installation, maintenance and operation of any software and your computer.

Service Limitations. The following limitations on SCCU.com Online Banking transactions may apply in using the services listed above:

  1. Transfers. You may make funds transfers to other accounts of yours as often as you like. However, transfers and bill payments from a savings or a money market account will be limited to a total of six (6) in any one month. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your account or up to the available credit limit on a line of credit at the time of the transfer, except as limited under this Agreement or your deposit or loan agreements. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds, lower an account below a required balance, or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account.
  2. Account Information. The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information involving your accounts. Also, the availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to the processing time for ATM transactions and our Funds Availability Policy.
  3. E-Mail. The Credit Union may not immediately receive E-mail communications that you send and the Credit Union will not take action based on E-mail requests until the Financial Institution actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. If you need to contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request, you may call the Credit Union at the telephone number set forth in the Liability for Unauthorized Access section.

Bill Pay
You may authorize new payment instructions or edit previously authorized payment instructions for bill payments that are either periodic and nonrecurring (ie payments on merchant charge accounts that vary in amount) ("periodic bill payments") or automatic and recurring (ie fixed monthly mortgage payments) ("automatic bill payments"). When you transmit a bill payment instruction to us, you authorize us to transfer funds to make the bill payment transaction from the account you designate. We will process bill payment transfer requests only to those payees designated in the Credit Union's User Instructions and such payees as you authorize and for whom the Credit Union has the proper vendor code number. The Credit Union will not process any bill payment transfer if the required transaction information is incomplete. If there are insufficient funds in your account to make the bill payment request, we may either refuse to make the payment or make the payment and transfer funds from any overdraft protection account you have established. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to process payment instructions that reasonably appear to the Credit Union to be fraudulent or erroneous. The Credit Union will withdraw the designated funds from your account for the bill payment transfer by 10:00 pm on the date you schedule for payment. The Credit Union will process your bill payment transfer within one (1) business day of the date you schedule for payment . The Credit Union will make only two attempts to process your scheduled payment transfer. Each attempt will result in an NSF fee of $29.00 if there are insufficient funds in your checking account.

It is your responsibility to schedule your bill payments in such a manner that your obligations will be paid on time. You should enter and transmit your bill payment instructions through SCCU.com Online Banking at least 6 - 10 business days before a bill is due. You are responsible for any late payments or finance charges that may be imposed as a result of your failure to transmit a timely bill payment authorization.

You may cancel or stop payment of periodic and automatic bill payment instructions under certain circumstances. If you discover an error in or want to change a payment instruction (ie payment date or payment amount) for a periodic or automatic bill payment you have already scheduled for transmission through SCCU.com Online Banking, you may electronically edit or cancel your payment request through SCCU.com Online Banking. Your cancellation request must be entered and transmitted through SCCU.com Online Banking before the date you have scheduled for payment. If your request is entered prior to the payment date of the bill, and the payment is made, you will be responsible for the payment. If you wish to place an oral stop payment on an automatic bill payment transaction not using SCCU.com Online Banking, the Credit Union must receive your oral stop payment request at least three (3) business days before the next payment is scheduled to be made. You may call the Credit Union at (321) 752-2222 or (800) 447-7228 to reach the Member Service Center, and request a stop payment. If you call the Credit Union, we will require you to confirm your stop payment request in writing within fourteen (14) days after the call, and the Credit Union may charge a fee for each request. There may be a fee for any stop payments on any bill payer transactions that have already been processed.
