Bill Pay
How do I sign up for Bill Pay?

To sign up, log in to Online Banking, click on Bill Pay and complete the easy enrollment process.

How secure is Bill Pay?

Bill Pay is very secure and uses several methods to ensure that your information is secure, too. Liberty Bay uses industry-leading technology and encryption to ensure all your personal data is safe. You are also automatically signed out of a session if you’re inactive for a period of time. However, it’s best to sign out immediately after you’re finished using Bill Pay.

How do I pay a bill using Bill Pay?

To begin using Bill Pay, you’ll need to set up your payee list by adding the recipients to whom you want to make payments. You only need to add each payee once.

  1. Log in to your Liberty Bay account through Online Banking or our Mobile App
  2. In Online Banking, select Bill Pay under “Transfers & Payments” in the main navigation menu. In our Mobile App, select Bill Pay located on the bottom navigation menu
  3. Agree to Bill Pay disclosure. Click “Continue”
  4. Select “Add Payee/Manage Payees” and choose whether you’re paying a business or a person.  Click “Next”
  5. Enter the payee and account information. Click “Save/Continue”
  6. Complete verification process

Once the payee is set up, select the payee from the “Bill Pay Dashboard” page, confirm the Pay From account to pay the bill, enter the Amount you wish to pay, determine the payment Frequency, select the date you wish the payment to be delivered on, and click “Submit Payment.” Note that it could take up to 2 business days to deliver an electronic payment and 4 business days to deliver a paper check payment.

Why isn’t the money immediately taken out of my account when I use Bill Pay?

When you pay a bill, we provide you the earliest date the payment can be delivered. Typically, electronic payments are completed in one day, while paper checks can take up to five days. During the time the transaction is being sent, the funds remain in your account, allowing you to continue to earn interest. With electronic payments, the money is taken out of your account when the payment is delivered; with checks, it remains in your account until the check is cashed.

I set up a Bill Pay in Online Banking, but it didn’t get paid. What happened?
Verify the payment was made by clicking on the “History” tab from Bill Pay dashboard and review listed historical payments information and status.  If you find a payment did not occur, contact Member Services at (617) 439-6500 or visit any Liberty Bay branch for assistance.
What methods are used to make payments?

Liberty Bay uses two methods to pay a payee: electronic payments or checks. Bill Pay automatically determines whether a payment is sent electronically or by check, based on whether the payee accepts electronic payments and other guidelines.

  • Electronic payments are sent out one day before the due date. The money is withdrawn from your account on the payment due date.
  • When your payment is sent by check, a check is prepared for you with your account number on it. The money is withdrawn directly from your account when the check clears. Checks expire 30 days from the date of issue.
What type of account is required to set up Bill Pay?

You’ll need a Liberty Bay checking account to set up Bill Pay.

CardValet
What is CardValet?

CardValet is a standalone app that allows you to turn your debit card “on” or “off” anytime. When a card is “off,” it cannot be used by anyone. Turn it “on” when you’re ready to use it.

Advantages of CardValet:

  • Help safeguard your cards from fraud
  • Define areas where your card can be used
  • Limit purchase by the type of merchant
  • Set limits on the dollar amount
Is there a cost?

No, CardValet is a free service we offer to our members with a Liberty Bay Mastercard® Debit Card. However, message and data rates may apply from your carrier.

What operating system do I need for CardValet?

CardValet will generally support the current and two past versions of the operating systems for Apple iOS devices and Android-based mobile devices.

How do I enroll/register for CardValet?

Download the CardValet app (Apple/Google) and install on your device

Registration Process:

  • Once you have the app installed on your mobile device, open the app and select ‘New User’
  • You will begin the registration process by entering your card number. After you have entered the
    card number press “Next”. You will then be asked to input the following information to complete
    your card registration process.

    • Security Code (3-digit code found in the signature panel on the back of the card)
      Expiration Date
    • Billing Address (must match the address Liberty Bay has on file for your account)
    • Last 4 digits of the primary cardholder
  • Once this information has been entered and verified you will be asked to accept the ‘Terms and
    Conditions for CardValet Terms of Use’. Please press ‘accept’ to continue.
  • You will now create your account login information by entering your email address, selecting a username and creating a password.
Can multiple cards be linked to one registered account?

You can register multiple cards within a single CardValet app. Additional cards can be added within the ‘Manage Portfolio – Add Card’ screen.

You will need to enter the same level of detail entered for the original card. This information includes the

  • Card number
  • Security Code (3-digit code found in the signature panel on the back of the card)
  • Expiration Date
  • Billing Address (must match the address Liberty Bay has on file for your account)
  • Last 4 digits of the primary cardholder

Typical examples of multiple individuals registering one card include: parents and dependents; spouses; and employers/employees.

How exactly does the on/off feature work?

The on/off control within CardValet will allow you to block transactions at any time for any reason. The on/off function will not affect transactions that were approved prior to the card being turned off or to transactions that have been setup as recurring.

What are Controls and Alerts?

Controls can be used to restrict transactions based on certain parameters, whereas alerts are only notifications that a transaction has been conducted or attempted. Controls facilitate the on/off CardValet setting, as well as limiting usage based on merchant type, location, or transaction amount. Alerts can be set to notify you based on the parameters you chose regarding merchant type, location, transaction amount, or you may choose to be alerted for all card transactions.

A threshold limit of $50 has been set but I cannot buy gas at some pumps. Why?

There are some merchant types that will pre-authorize the card for an amount that may be larger than the actual transaction amount. In this instance the pre-authorization amount is exceeding the threshold spend limit. If this happens to you, adjust/turn off the ‘Spend Limit’ control or go inside and prepay for a specific dollar amount.

I used my card and got declined due to “My Location” or “My Region” controls, why?

There are some local merchants that use out of area processors for their card transactions, those transactions may be declined for these types of merchants if the ‘My Region’ or ‘My Location’ controls are active. Please deactivate this control and attempt the purchase again.

Can I block all international transactions?

International transactions can be blocked using the ‘International’ location control. Transactions will be limited to the United States. IF this option is selected, you will not be able to also use either the ‘My Location’ or ‘My Region’ controls.

Always contact Liberty Bay if you plan to travel outside of the country.
