  1. Transfers:

    Transfers can be made in two ways, one-time and recurring. One-time transfers are used when transfers occur on an infrequent or irregular basis, or which vary in amount. One-time transfers can be scheduled as immediate or future dated. You may use the recurring transfer feature when you transfer a set amount at regular intervals, for example from your checking to your savings account. One-time and recurring transfers may be made from your linked Osgood Bank personal or business checking, savings, Money Market accounts, loans and line of credits. Your ability to transfer funds between certain accounts is limited by federal law, as described in the Customer Agreement. For example, Transfers from a Money Market Account to another account or to third parties by preauthorized, automatic, computer transfer or by check, draft or similar order to third parties are limited to six per statement cycle. Transfers and bill payments made using Online Banking are counted against the permissible number of transfers, as are the other transfer methods described in the Customer Agreement. The completion of a transfer is subject to the availability of sufficient funds at the time of final processing. If you do not have enough available funds, your transfer request will be declined. Please refer to the applicable account agreement and fee schedule for details. Transfers you submit are immediately reflected in your balances for that account. Transfer request from and to a loan account are subject to review and approval from the Osgood Bank’s loan processing department prior to posting.  Transfers entered before the cut-off time of 7:00pm (EST) on a bank business day are processed on that bank business day. Transfers entered after the cut-off time or on a non-bank business day are processed on the next bank business day.

  2. Online Banking Bill Payment Processing:

    Please refer to the Resources tab of the Bill Pay Service Menu for bill payment processing guidelines and capabilities.

  3. Stop Payments:

    Stop payment request for written checks can be place through the Online Banking Stop Payments menu.   Stop payment request for electronic transactions are not available through Online Banking, except through messages.  Please contact Osgood Bank to place a stop payment on electronic transactions by either calling a branch or submitting a message through Online Banking.  If you have given us a stop payment order verbally, that stop payment order will be released 14 days from the day we received it unless you complete the Stop Payment Order form before that date.  Stop Payment Order forms can be completed and signed at any of our branches.  You must make any stop-payment order in the manner required by law and we must receive it in time to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it before our stop-payment cutoff time. Because stop payment orders are handled by computers for the Online Banking application, to be effective, your stop payment order must precisely identify the number, date and amount of the item, and the payee. You may stop payment on any item drawn on your account whether you sign the item or not, if you have an equal or greater right to withdraw from this account than the person who signed the item. Generally, your stop payment order is effective for six (6) months. Your order will lapse after that time if you do not renew the order in writing before the end of the six-month period. We are not obligated to notify you when a stop payment order expires. A release of the stop payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the stop payment order. Please refer to the applicable account agreement and fee schedule for details.
