Secure Communications Within Your Organization

Business Email Compromise is one of the fastest growing forms of cyber-attacks against businesses. Your email inbox is a treasure trove for any would-be attackers. By leveraging F&M Commercial Online Banking, you can securely communicate with other online banking users in your organization, including sending sensitive information such as statements or receipts. Your communications are kept secure within your organization and out of the hands of fraudsters!

Business Bill Pay

Business Bill Pay comes default with all Commercial Online Banking profiles. Unlike the consumer solution, you have enhanced limits so you can set up more payments needed to keep your business running. You still have the ability to “Pay a Person” or “Pay a Company”, however you now have the option to pay companies using routing and account information if you have this.

For our customers leveraging “Two Signatures Required” accounts, you also have the added option of enabling Dual Verification for Bill Pay. With this functionality, one user in your organization establishes a payment and a second user is needed to approve the payment before it is allowed to transmit. This security feature is key for checks and balances.

Another added feature includes Shared Payees. With the consumer solution, every profile has to set up their payees individually for bill pay. With Commercial Online Banking, once a payee is added, all users in the organization have access to that same payee and can also set up payments as needed.

For our customers leveraging our Positive Pay solution, any check payments initiated from within Business Bill Pay are automatically added to your issued item listing. This reduces the effort needed to post payments and maintain your layer of protection against fraud!

With the ability to make one-time payments or recurring payments, Business Bill Pay is a powerful tool that businesses can utilize to centralize their accounts payable from a single payment platform.

User Management

Traditional consumer online banking only allows one user. While this may be fine for some small businesses, as your business continues to grow, you need to have a way for multiple users to access your information.

Commercial Online Banking allows admin users within a company to create, modify, and delete users as they desire. When you are established with Commercial Online Banking, you will designate who you want to be the admin user. We will set up this admin user in advance with all the permissions needed to create, modify, and delete users.

In addition, you can create custom permissions for each user. By default, there are options for creating additional admins (who also share the ability to create, modify, and delete users), creating standard users, and creating read-only profiles (commonly seen used with accountants who need to be able to see information without the ability to modify anything). These permissions are completely customizable, giving you control over what each user in your organization can do.

Take back control and create your users with the permissions they need to keep your business running!

Accept Online Payments (Autobooks)*

Utilizing Autobooks built-in to Commercial Online Banking, you gain access to several features that may simplify your online presence for your business!

With Invoices, you have the ability to create a professional looking invoice that you can send to your clients within seconds. Whether it’s a one-time payment or a recurring payment, invoicing allows you to win back your time, accept credit card or ACH payments, track who has paid and who hasn’t at a glance, automatic reminders, receipts, and establish late fees or service charges. You can customize your invoices with your branding and logo to make every communication with your customer look official.

With Estimates, you can close deals faster with everyone on the same page. Automatically calculate a total price based on your line items, never lose track of your estimates, and easily convert estimates to invoices and get paid faster.

With Customers, you can always know who’s paid and who still owes. Add, edit, and save all your customers in one place. View every customer’s balance at a glance and easily save customer information when you build their first invoice. You can even import a customer list to save time!

With Products/Services, you can save a list to make invoicing effortless. Simply select from saved products when building an invoice and get paid in full with our price-adjusting fee calculator. You can also configure products to automatically include sales tax!

With Checkout Pages, you can sell products, services, events, memberships, and more! Spend time managing your business, not building websites and integrating with third party apps. Create your Checkout Page in minutes to start getting paid today. Personalize your page to capture the specific details your business needs from your customers. Share your Checkout Pages anywhere! You can use text, email, social media, or even print with QR codes!

Accept payments with multiple ways to pay! You can enter a customer’s payment details to accept a payment at any time. You can also generate a payment link and send it to your customers to accept credit card or ACH payments. You can download your high resolution QR code to print, use on stickers, add to pamphlets, or display anywhere you would like to accept payments. You can also update your Payment Link to take donations or contributions from your patrons instead of payments.

Track your vendors and your vendor invoices from one centralized platform. Add in your vendors and their invoices and you can even generate checks to pay vendors as needed, all from one place!

(Add-On) Positive Pay

Check fraud is a major threat to your business, and many businesses don’t realize you only have 24 hours to return a fraudulent check by traditional means. This fraud can result in losses to your business and force you to open new checking accounts and contact all your vendors with updated account information. As a business owner, this can be tedious and difficult.

Positive Pay is the solution that protects your business against losses and keeps you running with minimal impact. With Positive Pay, you will be able to upload through online banking using individual or bulk files containing information on your issued checks, such as:

  • Payee Names
  • Issue Dates
  • Check Numbers
  • Amounts

Every item that clears the bank is checked against this list. If an item attempts to post to your account that does not match, you will receive a notification and be given an opportunity to pay or return the item at the click of a button, accessible through both traditional web-based online banking and through our F&M Mobile+ app.

We put the control back in your hands so that you can protect your business against check fraud.

Positive Pay is a service offered as an add-on to Commercial Online Banking for $40.00 per month.
