E-Bill View - Viewing your bills through SAC’s Online
• You agree to electronically receive your bill and view your account. You may also receive other information that would have been sent with your SAC paper bill, such as bill inserts. However, past due notices will continue to be sent through the United States postal mail. Should that change, we will notify you prior to electronically sending such notices.
E-Bill Payment Service - Paying your bills through SAC Online
By consenting to pay your bills electronically you understand and verify that:
• You are providing SAC with your bank account information and agreeing to these Terms and Conditions.You authorize SAC or its contractor to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the SAC Online Bill Payment Service. When we receive a Payment Instruction, you authorize us to debit your bank account and obtain funds on your behalf. Funds arrive as close to the business day designated by you as reasonably possible. You also authorize the financial institution that holds your bank account to debit your bank account.
• Payment Instructions must be entered prior to the 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time cutoff time to have the payment applied on the same business day. Any payment made after 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be applied the next business day. We anticipate most transactions will be processed on your selected payment date, but you understand that some transactions may take additional time to be applied to your account. If you properly follow procedures described herein, including submitting your Payment Instruction prior to the Cutoff Time, and SAC fails to process payments according to the Payment Instructions received, SAC will reverse any late charges incurred as a result. In any other event, you agree to incur the risk and responsibility for paying any late charges or penalties.
