Enhanced Billing Information (Business Services Clients)

During our system upgrades, we are improving the way we charge for services. As a Business Services client, you will be provided with more clarity on the services you are being charged for on a monthly basis.

Prior to the upgrade you were contacted by a Business Services Representative to select your primary billing account; either a Business Connect Checking Account, Municipal Connect Checking Account, or a Non-Profit Connect Checking. The account that you selected will be the billing account, that is assessed the total of all charges from the accounts in your group.

As previously communicated, you will not be charged for services provided during the month of May 2025, with the exception of Incoming and Outgoing Wires, Stop Payments and Non-sufficient funds fees. Moving forward, all wire fees will be charged in bulk.

After the upgrade, the first month of services you will be charged for is June 2025, however this charge will not be assessed to your account until the 7th day of the following month. In this scenario, you will be charged on July 7th for your June services used. If the 7th day of the month falls on a non-banking day, you will be charged the next banking day.

In addition to the charge, you will receive a billing statement that will outline all of the services provided by the Bank, as well as the volume of each service and relative total charge. These billing statements are separate from your monthly checking account statements that are produced on the last day of the month. Billing statements will be mailed approximately three business days after the billing cycle is finalized. Depending on mail time, you should receive your paper statement within 4-5 business days.

Billing statements are offered via electronic statements in your online banking service, which is the recommended way of delivery. As of the first billing period on July 7, you will be set up for paper statement delivery unless you contact us to request electronic statement delivery.
Please consider requesting electronic delivery for faster delivery of your statement and ease of use.

ZRent Information

There are no changes for ZRent services.

During the upgrade period, these services will be unavailable on Thursday, May 15th at 3 pm through Tuesday, May 20th. You can access beginning Wednesday, May 21st.

Commercial Banking

As part of the upgrade, all account statements—both personal and business—will have a new look and schedule. A final pre-upgrade statement will be mailed for all deposit accounts on May 15, including those currently enrolled in eStatements. All accrued interest will post to accounts on May 15. After the upgrade, all statements will show transaction details in chronological order.

What’s Changing:

  • Statement Format: Front-of-check images only will be included. For added security, account numbers and check details will be redacted or truncated. Back-of-check images are available upon request.
  • eStatement Access: Access to eStatements dated December 1, 2024 – May 16, 2025 will be temporarily delayed and fully restored by August 1. Older eStatements (prior to December 1) will remain available.
 
ACTION: Go to the Documents/Statements section in Online or Mobile Banking to set your eStatement, loan, and tax doc preferences​

Some settings—like external transfers, loan payments, alerts, reminders, and eBills—will not carry over to the new system. To avoid disruption, you’ll need to manually reenter these preferences once you log in.

ACTION: Log in and reestablish any external recurring transfers, loan payments, alerts, reminders, and eBills you previously used

Internal account to account transfers or loan payments (Fidelity Bank to Fidelity Bank) created through Online Banking and scheduled to occur after May 14 will automatically convert over. To avoid any interruptions to these transfers, please confirm all are accurate and complete.

ACTION: Confirm any scheduled internal transfers (e.g., between business checking and savings) are still correct in the new system

ACTION: After May 19, review and confirm your Bill Pay Information

Payees and history will transfer automatically, but please confirm all details, including your default payment account.

What’s Changing:

  • Funds must be available on the payment send date to process the payment. Payments will retry for three days before being canceled.

  • Payments can only be made to companies—payments to individuals are no longer supported.

  • “Send On” date will now be used when scheduling payments (not “Deliver By”)

  • Bill Pay Checks will no longer reflect your Fidelity Bank account and routing numbers. Funds will be debited and processed separately.

 

If your business uses accounting software or financial tools like QuickBooks or Quicken, those connections won’t carry over automatically after the upgrade. These integrations must be manually reconnected in the new system.

ACTION: Reconnect your third-party tools after May 19, depending on the platform. Some services will be available right away, while others (like Quicken/QuickBooks direct connect) may not be available until May 23.

ACH and wire transfers are essential to business operations—and while your templates have moved to the new system, your recurring schedules haven’t.

ACTION: Log in after May 19 and recreate any recurring ACH or wire transfers your business needs to continue.

What’s Changing:

  • ACHs can now be scheduled up to 10 business days in advance
  • Monthly limits for ACH and wire transactions have been removed

Enhanced Billing Information (Business Services Clients)

During our system upgrades, we are improving the way we charge for services. As a Business Services client, you will be provided with more clarity on the services you are being charged for on a monthly basis.

Prior to the upgrade you were contacted by a Business Services Representative to select your primary billing account; either a Business Connect Checking Account, Municipal Connect Checking Account, or a Non-Profit Connect Checking. The account that you selected will be the billing account, that is assessed the total of all charges from the accounts in your group.

As previously communicated, you will not be charged for services provided during the month of May 2025, with the exception of Incoming and Outgoing Wires, Stop Payments and Non-sufficient funds fees. Moving forward, all wire fees will be charged in bulk.

After the upgrade, the first month of services you will be charged for is June 2025, however this charge will not be assessed to your account until the 7th day of the following month. In this scenario, you will be charged on July 7th for your June services used. If the 7th day of the month falls on a non-banking day, you will be charged the next banking day.

In addition to the charge, you will receive a billing statement that will outline all of the services provided by the Bank, as well as the volume of each service and relative total charge. These billing statements are separate from your monthly checking account statements that are produced on the last day of the month. Billing statements will be mailed approximately three business days after the billing cycle is finalized. Depending on mail time, you should receive your paper statement within 4-5 business days.

Billing statements are offered via electronic statements in your online banking service, which is the recommended way of delivery. As of the first billing period on July 7, you will be set up for paper statement delivery unless you contact us to request electronic statement delivery.
Please consider requesting electronic delivery for faster delivery of your statement and ease of use.

ZEscrow & ZRent Information

There are no changes for the ZEscrow and ZRent services.

During the upgrade period, these services will be unavailable beginning on Thursday, May 15th at 3 pm through Tuesday, May 20th. You can access these services beginning Wednesday, May 21st.
