A Secure Access Code is a security feature that validates contact information that currently resides on the Bank records, to authenticate your identity.
For your security, your Secure Access Code will only be delivered to the contact information we have on file for you.
If you opt to receive your Secure Access Code via text, you will receive a text from 864-34. Use the Secure Access Code that appears in the message portion of the text, not the number the text is sent from. If you have requested the Secure Access Code be sent more than once, use the Secure Access Code you received last.
Each Secure Access Code is unique and is only valid for a limited time. If you’re not able to enter the Secure Access Code within that time period, you will need to request that a new one be sent.
Use the Secure Access Code via the delivery method you requested most recently.
The Secure Access Code is only valid for a limited time. If you’ve “timed out,” just hit the back button to begin again.

Bill Payment is a service that allows you to pay virtually anyone or any company through your Online Banking account. You determine who you want to pay, when you want to make the payment, and which account you want the payment to come from. It's safe, secure and easy to use.
Login to your account and click the "Bill Pay" link. You must review and agree to the Bill Payment Agreement.
You can pay virtually any business or individual with a mailing address within the United States.
Yes. Select the account on your Online Banking profile you want to use for Bill Payments.
The first step is to add a payee, the person or company you wish to pay. Get started by clicking on “Adding a Payee”. Enter the requested information. Typically this information can be found on your latest bill statement. Once you add your payee, you can start making payments in seconds.
Find your payee on the payments dashboard. Enter the payment amount and date, then submit.
Payments are sent one of two ways, electronically or by paper checks. The majority of payments are delivered electronically. Your payment information such as your account number is sent via secure transmission. All other payments are made by paper checks that are mailed via the U.S. Postal Service.
Paying bills online is one of the safest ways to pay your bills. Bill Payment helps guard against identity theft from lost or stolen checkbooks, bills and statements. It also increases your privacy because only you can access your account information, account numbers and payment history. As a result, you maintain tighter control of your account with real-time access to your payments activity.
Generally, your payment is received within 2 to 7 days, depending on whether or not it is sent electronically or via paper check.
Most scheduled payments are sent electronically and funds are withdrawn from your account on the payment date. If payment is made by check, funds will be debited from your account once the payee has presented the item for payment.
Here's a quick list of the many ways you can benefit from using Bill Payment.
eBill is a feature that allows you to receive and pay electronic summary versions of paper bills directly from your Bill Payment account.
eBills are delivered directly to your Bill Payment account. Once you set up an individual eBill for a company you do business with, an eBill comes directly from that payee to your account. Examples of businesses that offer eBills are cable service providers, phone service providers, utility providers and credit card companies.
You will also continue to receive paper bill statements unless you contact the payee to stop sending those statements.
If a payee offers eBill, there will be a "Set up eBill" link next to their listing on your Bill Payment dashboard.
With eBill, everything you need is in one convenient location. Using eBill allows you to streamline your bill pay routine and have online access to your bills. That means you won't have to keep track of paper bills. In addition, you can view past bill summaries at a glance.
Balance due, due date and minimum payment amount are included in your eBill. If you need additional details, there will be a link that lets you log into your account on your payee's website, or you can check your paper statement.
To pay an eBill, simply choose the account you want to pay from, enter the amount you want to pay and schedule when you want the payment delivered.
For questions concerning Bill Pay, please call our Client Support team at 703-242-5300 and press 2. You can also reach out directly to the bill pay provider customer service at 1-855-214-2721.
Payments made before 3:00 p.m. ET Monday - Friday will be processed the same day. Payments made after 3:00 p.m. ET will be processed the next business day.
You can start scheduling payments immediately after adding a new payee.

ACH stands for the Automated Clearing House and, like Wire Transfer, is a way to send and receive money.
There are two primary ACH Standard Entry Classes:
PPD – Transactions directed to individuals. Examples include
Direct Deposit of Payroll (Credit Originated)
Collection of mortgage or consumer tax payments (Debit Originated)
CCD – Transactions directed to corporate or commercial entities
Payment to a trading partner (Credit Originated)
Corporate Tax Payment collected by Federal State or Local Government (Debit Originated)
You may see additional SEC codes such as WEB, TEL and ARC transactions on your PERSONAL account.
Originators are required to receive authorization to send the transaction (both debit and credit) from the trading partner/customer. Authorization must be retained on file until that authorization is revoked.
Clients wishing to originate ACH payments or collections must be approved by the bank. Once approved, the bank will set daily and monthly transaction limits on your account. These limits are based on each company’s activity and the frequency of their payments.
Please contact your Treasury Management Sales Officer if you need to make a temporary adjustment to your predetermined ACH limits. We can typically accommodate increase requests on the same business day.
All ACH Payments with same day settlement instructions must be submitted to the bank by 11:30 AM. Payments submitted after the 11:30 AM Cut-off time will settle the next business day or on the date designated within the ACH File.
Same day ACH transactions must be delivered to the bank prior to 11:30 AM. There is no limit to the number of transactions that are included in each file, however the individual transaction may not exceed $100,000.
The settlement date reflected in your ACH transaction file is the date the recipient will see the transaction in their account. Freedom Bank requires pre-funding for most ACH Credit files originated, meaning that your account is debited for the total amount of the file the day it is submitted to the bank.
Outgoing payments may settle on a same day basis or be scheduled up to 30-days in advance. ACH Debit files will settle at both banks on the day designated within the origination file.
Unlike Wire Transfers, which are considered final as soon as the funds are posted to the recipient’s account, ACH transactions may be reversed or returned for a variety of reasons. Please contact your Treasury Management Sales partner for additional information.
Authorized users can create templates which allow you to initiate multiple payments to the same entity without having to reenter all of the recipient’s banking information. To create a template, simply click the New Template options under Advanced Payments. Once the template has been created, you can select the frequency of the payment, as well as the amount. The amount can be modified in the payment screen if the amount varies from payment to payment.
If you receive an unauthorized ACH debit, please contact your Community Office or Treasury Management Sales partner immediately. Unauthorized returns may be sent back to the originating bank within 1 business day. Companies may also subscribe to the Bank’s ACH Positive Pay service which reviews incoming ACH Debits against those specifically authorized, alerting you to any suspicious activity.
Clients wishing to originate Wire Transfers must be approved by the bank. Once approved, the bank will work with you to set daily and monthly transaction limits on your account. These limits are based on each company’s activity and the frequency of their payments.
Yes. Freedom Bank offers clients the ability to originate both domestic and international wires. International wires may be sent in US Dollars or most local currencies. Please contact your Treasury Management Sales partner for more information about foreign denominated wire transactions.
Please contact your Treasury Management Sales Officer if you need to make a temporary adjustment to your predetermined wire limits. We can typically accommodate increase requests on the same business day.
Freedom Bank can accept Domestic Wire Transfers online until 5:00 PM Eastern. International Wires (both USD and foreign denominated) must be input prior to 4:00 PM Eastern. Manual wires initiated through one of our sales offices must be complete by 3:00 PM Eastern. Originators must contact the wire desk for an exchange rate for all foreign denominated transactions.
Please contact your Community Office or Treasury Management Sales Officer if you need to make a temporary adjustment to your predetermined Wire limits. We can typically accommodate increase requests on the same business day.
Wire Transfers are considered final as soon as the funds are posted to the recipient’s account. Once funds have been credited to the receiving party, requests for wire reversals or return must be authorized by the account holder. Many banks will not honor a request for return, instead recommending that the sending and receiving parties negotiate the return of funds.
Authorized users can create templates which allow you to initiate multiple payments to the same entity without having to reenter all of the recipient’s banking information. To create a template, simply click the New Template options under Advanced Payments. Once the template has been created you can select the frequency of the payment, as well as the amount. The amount can be modified in the payment screen if the amount varies from payment to payment.
To assure the safety and security of your funds, Freedom Bank requires call-back authorization for all outgoing wires, including those input through the online banking system. Call backs are directed to an authorized signer, or other individuals authorized through the original wire transfer origination agreement. Call backs are made only to the telephone number of record for the authorized individuals. Clients wishing to initiate wires without the call-back review must execute special agreement indemnifying the bank against loss in the event of account compromise.
