5. How do I add a payee in Online Bill Pay?

   From a Web Browser

   • Log in to your Digital Banking account and choose Bill Pay in the top menu. 
   • To add a new payee, type the name of the payee in the “Need to pay someone new?” entry box near the top middle of the main payments page. 
   • As you type, what you are typing is matched to a known payee. 
   • If you see your payee in the drop down list, click the name and then click the Add button. Enter and confirm the account number and add an optional nickname. 
   • Select Add Payee.

   If you do not see the name in the drop down, don't worry, just complete typing the name of your payee and click the Add button. You will then be asked for some information about your payee:  

   • Account Number – This is your account number with the payee. Enter the account number as it appears on your bill. When making a payment to a person and not a business, you may not have an account number to provide. If this is the case, leave the account number field blank. 
   • Nickname - This field is optional, but if you have a different way to identify the payee besides the payee name, enter it here.
   • Payee Address – This is the address to which you send your payment. 
   • Payee Phone Number – Enter the phone number your biller provides for questions about your bill. If you are adding a company, look for a customer service phone number on your bill, statement, or invoice. If you are adding a person, use the person's work, home, or mobile number. 
   • Zip code – Enter the payee's zip code to which you send your payment. 

   When your payee is added, it will display at the top of your payee list on the main payments page. The next time you come back to the screen, your payees will display in alphabetical order. Bill Pay has its own FAQ in Digital Banking as well. You can find it on the Bill Pay screen in the lower right corner under I want to . . . 

   Mobile App

   • Open the Mobile App, tap Payment Center, then Bill Pay.
   • Select Payees at the top right of the screen
   • In the Add a person or business field begin adding information for those you want to pay. The app will guide you through entering any additional information needed.

7. How do you write a check?

   To write your check, fill out the fields carefully and sign at bottom right. We’ve included a properly filled out check below, as an example.
   
   

   A few notes:

   • The date at the upper right can be any standard format that includes the day, month and year.
   • Write the full name of the person, business entity, or organization who is receiving the check in the “Pay to the Order of” field.
   • The box at the right is for a numerical representation of the amount you’d like to pay the recipient.
   • The line with “dollars” at the end is where you write out the amount you’d like to pay the recipient in words; write the cents as a fraction XX/100; if there’s extra space, draw a line until “dollars” so that no one can adjust the amount you wrote.
   • The lower left field is for personal notes; this is optional. Some people like to write what the check is for, so they can remember when reviewing their records; If you’re paying a specific bill, you may be asked to write your invoice number or other identifying information you have on record with the company you’re paying.
   • Sign the check at lower right with the signature that you use for all important documents.
   • If you make a mistake on your check, you can cross it out and put your initials next to it and then write what you meant to write.
8. What is a secured credit card?

   A secured credit card is a special type of credit card that allows users with no credit (or poor credit) to build (or repair) their credit score.

   It works like this: The cardholder puts down a cash deposit as collateral to “secure” the card. The amount of cash put down is typically the cardholder’s credit limit. The cardholder then uses the card normally and their activity is reported to credit agencies, as it would be for any credit card.  

   As a result, the cardholder has the opportunity to build (or repair) their credit by making regular, on-time payments, among other things.

   At Old National Bank, we offer two secured credit card options.

9. What is a line of credit loan?

   A line of credit loan is a flexible loan that allows you to borrow what you need, as you need it, up to a set credit limit. As long as you follow your repayment terms, the loan remains open and you can borrow again. The most common example is a credit card, where you can continue to use it month after month, provided your account is in good standing. Other examples include Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs) and revolving lines of credit for businesses.

   The contrasting loan type is a fixed loan, where you’re given a set amount of funds upfront, with the expectation that you repay the loan amount with interest over a set period of time. Once you’ve paid off the loan, there’s no opportunity to borrow again; you’d need to reapply for another loan. Common examples include mortgages, car loans and personal loans.
