Bank of Powhatan On-line Banking is part of a network that utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In-depth information on many of the techniques and features employed by the system can be viewed and are explained in our Bank of Powhatan On-line Security statement. In addition to our login security, we use the SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything you do in Bank of Powhatan On-line Banking system. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the "secure session" by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.
Security is very important to Bank of Powhatan. When you login to the service for the first time, you will use your account number and the last four digits of your social security number (personal accounts) or taxpayer identification number (businesses). You will then be prompted to select a new "Access ID" and "Password" that you will thereafter use to gain access to your accounts.
Your session time limit is limited to 60 minutes, but to help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for 20 minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you log on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your password and your session will continue where you left off. Because your password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully select a password that is hard to guess. Keep your password safe. Memorize your password and never tell it to anyone. You may consider changing your password occasionally, such as every 90 days. This can be done at any time, after you are logged in, from the "options" menu.
Balance Inquiries, Bill Payments and Transfers
You may use Bank of Powhatan On-line Banking to check the balance of your accounts, transfer funds between your accounts and pay bills from your eligible accounts.
Balances in your accounts may differ from your records due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. If you have further questions, contact us at customerservice@bankofpowhatan.com
Special Information about E-Mail
Generally, requests received from the system will be processed within two business days using procedures that would handle similar requests received by mail or fax. If urgent action is required, we recommend that you contact Bank of Powhatan at (804) 598-6839 between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday – Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to Noon on Saturday, or in person.
The Bill Payment service lets you schedule bill payments through On-line Banking and also allows you to see a history of all the payments made from your accounts. You must designate a specific checking account as your bill payment account.
Accountholders that require two (2) signatures for withdrawal purposes will be
unable to access the On-line Bill Payment Service.
Eligibility: You
may pay any merchant or individual approved for payment by Bank of Powhatan for
payment through On-line Bill Payment Service. On-line bill payments are
available only to payees with a
The daily limit for the total dollars of payments approved is governed by the
system’s available balance in the checking account selected for making the
payment. You can withdraw up to the system’s available balance as long as your
account shows sufficient funds to cover your payments. The payment will
normally be charged to your account on the business date that it is approved.
If for any reason a scheduled payment processed through the system is declined,
it will automatically be rescheduled for the following business day. The system
will continue to attempt to pay the bill on the following business days until
there are sufficient funds or you cancel or reschedule it.
Although payments may be scheduled for the current business day or any date in
the future at any time, they will only be processed once a day at our cut-off
time, usually around 4:30 p.m. EST on any business day. Anything scheduled on a
non-business day, or after the cut-off time, will not be sent out until the
following business day.
Since we must forward
the funds and billing information to the payee, some lead-time for payments is
necessary. (Our system assumes the payee/vendor will promptly process the
payment on the business day it is received. Any delays caused by the
payee/vendor would result in additional days before the payment would show on
their records.)
To avoid incurring a finance charge or other charges, you must schedule a
payment sufficiently in advance of the due date of your payment. It is
necessary that all Payment Dates selected by you be no less than five (5)
full Business Days before the actual due date, not the late date and/or a date
in the grace period.
Not all payees accept electronic bill payments. In the event that the
payee for your scheduled payment does not accept payment via the electronic
system, your payment will be made by mailing a paper check. Paper payment
requires longer delivery time. Payments made by paper should be scheduled
at least seven (7) full Business Days prior to the actual due date, not the
late date and/or a date in the grace period. In all cases, the payment
will be delivered to the payee/vendor by
the tenth business day after the payment was approved and charged to your
account.
