Q  

Will I have to pay bank fees for this service?

A

It will depend on your bank's policies and the type of account you have. However, the fee you pay for Pre- Authorized Payments should be less than the fee charged for processing a cheque.

It's important for you to know that if you are enrolled in the Pre-Authorized Payment Plan your payments will be deducted early the morning of the due date. Therefore, sufficent funds or bank approved overdraft protection must be available at the time to avoid
