Yes! You can use either a checking or savings account to remit an electronic check (ACH). Even better, there is no cost to pay by electronic check; it’s free!
Be advised that if an electronic check is returned by your bank for any reason, including insufficient funds or closed/”bad” account, you will be unable to remit future payments via electronic check. You will still have the option to remit on-line payments using a credit card. Please verify your bank information before submitting an electronic check to ensure you retain payment privileges. Students will be charged a $20 service fee for any returned check/electronic check, and may also be assessed an additional NSF fee by his/her (personal) financial institution.
If you are using a bank debit card to pay online, your bank may impose a daily transaction limit that will prevent the payment from being honored. If this happens, please contact your financial institution. Remember, you may also make your payment using an electronic check (using your account and routing numbers); most banks will not limit the dollar amount of an e-check transaction providing the account contains sufficient funds.
