View our tutorial on how to add a new payee, then log in to digital banking to get started.
You can schedule your “Send On” date Monday through Friday, with the exception of holidays.
 
Funds are debited from your funding account 1-2 business days after the "Send On" date.
 
On average, allow three business days for electronic merchants/payees and five business days for those merchants/payees paid by paper check (for those unable to receive electronic payment). You can identify if a payment is to be made electronically or by check by looking at the Send On date vs. the Deliver By date. Payments made by check will reflect 5 business days between the Send On and the Deliver By date. Electronic payments will reflect 3 business days or less.
 
We process and transmit payment requests Monday-Friday at 10:30 p.m. ET, excluding holidays. Any pending payments on the system will be processed at that time. Payments submitted after 10:30 p.m. ET Friday will not be processed until the end of the next business day.
 
You can quickly view pending payments or the last 5 payments processed in the "My Payments" box or by selecting "View payment history" link. At that point, you can consider the payment to be processed and the funds will be withdrawn from the account within 2 business days. To view past history for a particular payee, search for the payee name in the "My Payments" box or from the "View payment history" page.
 

You can edit any scheduled payment up until the time processing begins for the payment.
To edit a scheduled payment:

  1. Locate the payment in the “Scheduled payments” section and select its corresponding edit icon.
  2. You'll then be allowed to change the payment's deliver by date, payment amount, funding account from which you are paying, payment category, payment memo, and add or edit a personal note to your payment.
  3. Click the “Save Changes” button.
A stop payment cannot be placed on a processed Bill Pay payment. Funds are withdrawn from the account via ACH within 2 business days of the Sent Date by our processor.
 
If a payment was scheduled appropriately based on the Send By and Deliver By date, your payment is guaranteed to be delivered on time by our processor. If it's determined that you scheduled your payments as recommended, our processor will refund up to $50 in late fees assessed by that creditor, if necessary.
 
Proof of payment must be requested through our Digital Support Team at 1-800-926-0003. You'll be assessed an $18 fee for this service.
 
In the event that you authorize a payment, and the funds are not available to withdraw from your checking account, our processor will block your Bill Pay activity. In most cases, our processor will attempt to withdraw the funds up to three times from your designated checking account. Upon successfully completing the withdrawal, the block on your account will be removed after 5 business days. If our processor is unsuccessful in collecting the funds, you'll be submitted for internal collections. In order to settle collection items with our processor, please contact 877-346-5272, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET.

While your Bill Pay account is blocked due to NSF activity, pending payments will be cancelled. One-time pending payments and recurring pending payment will need to be rescheduled once your account access is reinstated. Recurring pending payments with a "Send On" date in the future WILL be automatically re-scheduled. For additional information, contact the Digital Support Team at 1-800-926-0003.
To cancel the Bill Pay service, please call the Digital Support Team at 1-800-926-0003.
Checking Accounts
You can order checks in online banking. After logging in, select Order checks from the Manage account menu. At this time, checks aren't able to be ordered within our mobile app. If it's your first time ordering checks, you'll be asked to verify your account, name, and address information. If you need to update this information at a later date, please contact us at 1-800-926-0003.

If you don't use online banking, you can order checks directly from Harland Clarke. You will need to enter Clearview’s routing number (243083237), your checking account number (from the bottom of your check) and other personal information.

Courtesy Pay
An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money available in your account to cover a transaction, but we pay it anyway. Whether you have enough money in your account to cover a transaction is based on your available balance. See Clearview's Terms & Conditions to learn how the available balance works.

Overdraft Protection Transfers allow automatic transfers for no fee from your savings, Money Market, and Member's Choice accounts, or PowerLine and Home Equity Lines of Credit. Overdraft protection can be set up at any time. Please contact us as 1-800-926-0003 to verify your current setup for overdraft protection, or to set up overdraft protection for your account.

Please note that the transfer from a deposit account and/or an advance from a line of credit will process before Courtesy Pay or Extended Courtesy Pay. There is no fee for an Overdraft Protection transfer.
We authorize and pay transactions using the available balance in your account. The available balance is the ledger balance (collected funds) minus any holds. As such, the available balance does not include any deposited funds on hold. We may place a hold on deposited funds in accordance with our Funds Availability Policy. If the funds in the available balance are not sufficient to cover a transaction, any available overdraft protection and/or Courtesy Pay may be used to authorize and pay a transaction.

We will also place a hold on your account for any authorized debit card transaction until the transaction settles (usually within two business days) or as permitted by payment system rules. In some cases, the hold may exceed the amount of the transaction. When the hold ends, we will add the funds to the available balance. If your account is overdrawn after such held funds are added to the available balance and the transaction is posted to the available balance, an overdraft fee may be assessed.

Yes. You can choose to protect your checking account with overdraft protection from any of the following accounts:

  • Savings account
  • Money Market account
  • PowerLine Line of Credit
  • Home Equity Line of Credit

Please note that the transfer from a deposit account and/or an advance from a line of credit will process before Courtesy Pay or Extended Courtesy Pay.  There is no fee for a traditional Overdraft Protection transfer.

Courtesy Pay allows qualified members who are at least 18 years old to overdraw their accounts. There is a $35 fee each time we pay an overdraft, capped at four fees per day. Overdrafts are paid at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction.

Courtesy Pay allows us to authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:
  • Checks and other transactions made using a checking account number 
  • Automatic bill payments

The limit for Courtesy Pay is based on algorithms, or a set of rules, that weigh numerous factors and account holder behaviors including an account holder’s usage patterns or relationship with us to assess an account holder’s ability to repay an overdrawn balance. The maximum limit you may receive is $1,750.

No. The overdraw limit is not part of your balance. Rather, it is simply a threshold the Credit Union may extend to you beyond your available checking balance.

While Clearview will strive to pay transactions that total less than your system-generated Courtesy Pay limit, we may pay or return items at our discretion.

If the amount of an overdraft item would exceed your Courtesy Pay limit, we may not cover that item.

No. You cannot use Courtesy Pay to make any loan payments or to bring another account to a positive balance.

You can opt out of the service at any time by contacting our Care Center at 1-800-926-0003 or visiting a financial center. Please note this request could take up to 24 hours. Without Courtesy Pay, overdrawn items will be returned unpaid and a $35.00 NSF fee will be assessed after funds for overdraft protection (if applicable) have been depleted. You may also be charged additional fees by the merchant/payee.

You may opt in to Courtesy Pay by calling our Care Center Representatives at 1-800-926-0003 or visiting a financial center.

You may opt in online or by visiting your local Clearview financial center.

Extended Courtesy Pay allows qualified opted in members who are at least 18 years old to overdraw their accounts. There is a $35.00 fee each time we pay an overdraft, capped at four fees per day. You will also receive a $5.00 daily overdraft fee once your checking account has been overdrawn more than 7 days, up to $100.00 per occurrence.  Extended Courtesy Pay allows us to authorize and pay overdrafts for the following types of transactions:

  • ATM withdrawals
  • Everyday debit card transactions (recurring payments are not included)

Yes. If you have more than one checking account, you must choose to opt in to Extended Courtesy Pay separately for each checking account. Covering one account with Extended Courtesy Pay will not cover all of your Clearview checking accounts from overdrafts at ATMs and from everyday debit card transactions. However, each eligible checking account in good standing will be automatically opted in to Courtesy Pay.

We value your relationship with us and in an effort to provide excellent customer service, we strive to pay items presented on your account against insufficient funds. Courtesy Pay and Extended Courtesy Pay, our discretionary overdraft services, are offered in anticipation that you will be making an immediate deposit.

You may opt out of Extended Courtesy Pay at any time. Please call Clearview at 1-800-926-0003, visit a financial center, or email us at [email protected]. If you choose to email us, please remember not to include any confidential information.

Yes. Clearview maintains the right to remove Courtesy Pay privileges from your account at its sole discretion. We are not obligated to honor any item presented for payment if the account does not contain sufficient available funds.

Credit Report
A credit report is a snapshot of how you have paid back the companies from whom you have borrowed money, or how you have met other financial obligations. Each time you borrow, payment patterns are tracked and reported to a credit bureau. Creditors use this and other information to determine your creditworthiness.
Your credit score is another tool used by creditors. When you apply for credit, a three-digit score predicts how likely you are to repay the debt. Past performance, current debt load, how long you have had credit, what type of credit you have and how many recent accounts you have opened also factor into the score.
It is very easy to get a copy of your credit score. There are three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union.
Credit reports include information from credit grantors and public records; including bankruptcies, judgments and liens. Active positive information may remain on your report indefinitely, while missed payments and most public records will remain for seven years. The exception is bankruptcies which remain for ten years, unpaid tax liens, which remain on your credit report for fifteen years, and student loans which can remain as long as 25 years.
In states with community property laws, any debt incurred during marriage is automatically considered joint. Your divorce decree doesn't relieve you from joint debt. Even when a divorce judge orders your ex-spouse to pay a certain bill, you are still legally responsible for the payments. You may be reported to a credit reporting agency and contacted by the creditor for payment.
Filing for bankruptcy is not necessarily the easy way out. There is no guarantee that it will be granted; a court judgment must be made. Even if you only file the papers and don't go through with it, the bankruptcy shows up on your credit report. Also, not all debts can be included in a bankruptcy. Alimony, child support, student loans and tax liens all must still be paid. The bankruptcy will remove some unsecured debts, but the filing, dismissal or discharge remains on your credit report for 10 years. Obtaining new credit during this time may be difficult.
Although a low rate is always better than a high rate, there are some basics to remember if you decide to do the "credit card shuffle." First, discipline yourself to close the initial card once the transfer of balance is complete. Many consumers fail to do this and find themselves a few months later with two large balances because they started using the "paid off" card again. Next, there is often a balance transfer fee imposed for each transfer so you must consider it in relation to the savings gained by the lower rate. These fees can sometimes be very large. Also, each time you request a new account, your credit profile is reviewed. Having too many inquiries for new credit in a relatively short time span can affect your credit score.
More than two major credit cards are considered unnecessary. Carrying a lot of plastic in your wallet can be dangerous for various reasons. Open accounts with no balances are still factored into your credit score because they represent amounts that could be balances owed tomorrow. You are also a target for identity theft. If someone obtains your credit card information, they may decide to start using your available credit. One major credit card with a low APR, left at home in a safe place for emergencies is ideal.
There are pros and cons to including credit card debt in a mortgage refinance. The big pro is that the interest that accrues will be a part of the mortgage interest, therefore tax deductible, while interest on credit cards is not. Another pro is that interest rates on mortgages are typically lower than credit card rates. You need to compare the savings before you decide to include them. The biggest con is when you do not close credit cards that were included in the loan and then run them back up. Now you are facing double payments and you will be using more of your home's equity to include credit cards.

Once you save the subuser, they will receive an email at the address you provided for them with directions on how to setup their account. Once they activate their account, the date of their most recent login will be displayed next to their name on the access management page.
Subusers will only be able to see accounts for which they were granted access when you, as the account holder, set them up. On the accounts to which they have access, they will be able to see the balance and transaction history, check images and download the transaction history. Subusers will be able to make transfers and bill payments from accounts which they have been granted permissions.

The subuser will not be able to access FinanceWorks, Purchase Rewards, online statements, Harland Clarke check ordering, or Access Point credit card information. They will also be unable to access your account from their mobile device (mobile web or the mobile application).

To review recent transactions, select your credit card from the My accounts page. For additional credit card information, under Manage account, select Manage my credit card.

To view or redeem your rewards, select Premium Perks under Manage account.

The bill pay permission will only display for accounts that you have already setup as Payees. If you want to grant bill pay permissions to an account that is not currently a funding account, you must first go to the bill pay page and add this account as a funding account and then attempt to add a subuser again. The bill pay permission should then display for this account.
Yes, you can limit the amount of bill payments a subuser can pay. When you grant permissions for an account, you will be prompted to enter a transaction limit. You cannot grant access without defining a transaction limit. Any transactions submitted by the subuser that exceed this limit will require your approval before they process. We do not currently support transaction limits for internal transfers.
You can approve subuser transactions on the same page where you manage their permissions. In digital banking, select Share access with others under Manage account. The transactions that require your approval will display at the top of the page with options to approve or deny the transactions.
Transactions that are pending approval do not show up on the main bill pay page. However, they will show up with a status of PENDING on the bill pay transaction history page. Transactions that are approved by the account holder will show up as normal scheduled payment on the main bill pay page. Transactions that are declined by the account holder will not be displayed on the bill pay page.
You will not be notified when the subuser makes transfers. If you have given the subuser access to make payments, you will be notified when they submit transactions.
In order to make account transfers, you must grant subuser transfers permission to both the “to” and the “from” accounts. It’s possible that the subuser cannot make transfers between the accounts that you intended them to transfer between because you did not grant transfers permissions for one of those accounts.
Yes, you can do this by granting either view only or transfer/payment permissions to the set of accounts you want the subuser to see and access.
Yes, you can prevent transfers between accounts by only giving the subuser view only access to an account.
You can edit the subuser’s name, email address, phone number, and permissions by selecting Share access with others under Manage account. Then, select Options and Update profile for the subuser. Account holders cannot edit a subuser’s username or password. 
Absolutely, and at any time! In digital banking, select Share access with others under Manage account. Click the Access slider from Yes to No to update a users permissions. Changing the slider to No will revoke all subuser access and prevent them from logging into digital banking.
Call Clearview Online Banking Support at 1-800-926-0003. We can put the subuser on hold – this will prevent the subuser from logging into online banking.
The subuser should use the self service option to reset their password or retrieve their username. If the subuser needs further assistance, they'll need to contact the account holder to contact us for a password reset. We're unable to reset passwords for subusers due to security reasons.
Shared Access functionality is not available on mobile devices at this time.
