That's OK. You will still be able to use your chip card as you do today where chip-enabled terminals are not yet installed.

Yes. Chip cards are commonly referred to as EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) cards, smart cards and chip and pin cards.

Heartland Bank does not require you to use a pin with your debit card purchase; however, the merchant could make it a requirement. If you do not know your pin, please call us at 800-697-0049 and we will assist you with obtaining your pin.

No. You have a Chip & Signature card, so you should not need a PIN to make purchases with your credit card. The term 'PIN' or 'Signature' simply refers to how you will authorize the transaction - by entering a PIN or by providing your signature. When using your Heartland Bank VISA chip credit card, you'll be prompted for a signature to complete the transactions.

Yes. The chip generates a unique, one-time code each time you 'dip' your Heartland Bank Visa card at a chip-enabled terminal - this typically takes about 10 seconds. Chip card technology is already used in other countries around the world. It's been reported that chip cards and chip enabled terminals are expected to reduce debit card and credit card fraud by as much as 40%.

You must be enrolled in Online Banking to use the Online Bill Pay function.  

From inside Online Banking:

• Click "Payments," then "Pay Bills"
• Complete the onscreen instructions to enroll your primary account. You can add additional accounts after the primary account has been enrolled.

• Click on "Payments" on the left
• Click "Pay Bills" 
• Click the blue box labeled "+Payee" on the left of the payments screen
• Follow the instructions to pay a company or person

The "due date" indicated on the system is the date that the bill is scheduled to arrive at its destination. There are two ways payments can be withdrawn from your account depending on who you’re paying. In most cases, funds will be deducted from your account on the pay date you specify. For some billers, such as some small businesses and individuals, a paper check may be sent. In these cases, the money will be deducted from your account at the time the biller deposits or cashes the check. This is no different than if you had written a paper check.

We cannot guarantee that 100% of your payments will be sent electronically. Some billers cannot receive payments electronically. Keep in mind that whether the payment is sent electronically or as a paper payment, the service delivers the payment to the biller on the scheduled pay date.

The biller receives the payment on or before the scheduled pay date you specified. Some billers may not always credit your account on the same day that they receive the payment. Allow for extra time in this situation so the payment is not considered late.

All online payments can be canceled before they are processed (at least 5 business days prior to the requested due date). Once the payment has been processed, additional modifications are not possible. Procedures for payment cancellation are as follows: go to Online Bill Payment: under the Pending Payment List on the Payment screen, click the “Edit” link located to the right of the bill to be canceled. Check the box that says, "I would like to stop this payment." Then click "Submit." In the event the bill has already started processing or been processed, this area of the page will show "Processing" or "Processed" and changes are no longer allowed.

Yes, all payments made through Online Bill Pay will appear on your checking account statement, displaying the date and amount of the payment.

eBills are electronic versions of your paper bills that you can receive through Online Bill Pay. An eBill comes directly from the biller to your Online Bill Pay service. You can view balances, transactions and other statement information in an eBill. Then, you can pay your bill and print it securely online through Online Bill Pay.

eBills are available from many companies, but not all companies provide their bills electronically. When one of your billers provides you the ability to view your bills online, you will see the word "Electronic" under the billers name. The biller will also appear under the eBill Connect box on the right of the screen. Click on the biller you would like to set up on eBills and follow the on-screen prompts.

The app automatically logs you off in 10 minutes.

Names are displayed as your last name then first name (e.g. SMITH JOHN.)

Heartland Bank does not use tokens, so when you request a reset, you will receive an email with a temporary password.

We are currently not able to display these fields.

In the event that you do not have an email or SSN on your cardholder record, you will be requested to perform a PIN-based transaction. The amount entered is compared to your historical transaction data. The PIN-based transaction may be performed at an ATM or by making a purchase.

You must create a unique login account for each financial institution. Each login account is applicable for a single financial institution. On the login page, the logo of the last logged-in financial institution appears.

Multiple individuals can register the same card as long as you know the card details. Typical examples of multiple individuals registering one card include: parents and dependents; spouses; and employers/employees.

The primary device is used to track the GPS for “My Location” alerts and controls and all merchant and threshold alerts will be sent to the primary device. All devices that have registered a particular card can view or change the CardValet settings for that card. Controls (including the “On/Off” setting) are set at the card level, so the last update to a control will be honored regardless of which phone was used to make the change. Alerts are set at the device level, so each primary device will receive alerts that were set up from that particular device. The primary device can be re-set by accessing “Settings - Primary Device.”

The region shows the approximate area where the card can be used. CardValet can typically map the transaction down to a zip code or city. If the city or zip code of the merchant overlaps with the selected region in the map, then the transaction can still go through. There are instances where a merchant location cannot be mapped down to a zip code or city, in which case CardValet will default to a state-level match.

CardValet alerts are sent as push notifications to your phone. The alerts also display under “Messages” in the CardValet app.

My Location is only effective for the enrolled user. To limit your dependent’s card, you can use the Region feature to set usage preferences for where the card can be used. Set location preference to “Region” in the drop down menu, then “Add” a “New Region” to set the map to the area where the card may be used.

Yes. International transactions can be blocked using the “International” location control. Transactions will be limited to the United States.

Specific merchant types have been created within CardValet, and these merchant types can be used for controls or alerts via the “Alert Preferences” or “Control Preferences” screen. Each of the merchant types contains various merchant category codes (MCC). Please note that it is possible for a retailer to forward a MCC that may differ from the CardValet merchant type classification. Merchant types currently supported include: Department Store; Entertainment; Gas Station; Grocery; Household; Personal Care; Restaurant; Travel; and Others.

The low balance alert is controlled on a cardholder level. It cannot be turned off by client/card prefix.

You can set the “Do Not Disturb” time that will suppress notifications during the set times. Some notifications will still be delivered, for example any transaction denial or any transaction that is a card-present authorization.

Control settings take effect as soon as the “Updating information” message in the app stops.

No, the alerts are consolidated into one message. For example, if the message has violated “Threshold” and Location settings, then you will see only one alert and not multiple alerts.

CardValet ignores location information that is more than one (1) hour old. So, if your phone is off for more than an hour, My Location controls will not take effect, and the transaction will not be denied on the basis of the old location information.

Yes, an alert is generated regardless of whether or not a control preference is set.

The My Location controls and alerts will check to ensure the merchant location is within a five (5) mile radius of the device set as “primary” within CardValet. These controls impact “card present” transactions only, therefore internet transactions are not impacted.

CardValet performs a proximity check at the granularity of zip code or city, so if the merchant is close to home, the transactions will still go through.

CardValet updates the balance under two conditions: (a) when you log into CardValet and (b) when you tap “Refresh.” Even if the balance has fallen below the threshold that you set, it is only updated when you log into the app or tap “Refresh,” which then triggers the alert.

Previously authorized recurrent payments will continue to process and will bypass the CardValet edit checks.

There are some merchant types where a merchant will pre-authorize the card for an amount that may be larger than the actual transaction amount. In this instance, the pre-authorization amount must meet the threshold spend limit.

CardValet controls are only invoked during authorization of a transaction. In some cases, such as Gas Stations, a card may be tested for validity by doing a $1 pre-authorization, and the actual transaction amount is charged to the card after the transaction. Some gas stations will pre-authorize for a maximum amount, e.g. $126, and some gas stations will check validating, e.g. $1. In the latter case, the actual transaction amount may exceed the limit, while in the former case, an authorization may be denied.

Yes, the app shows the last 50 card-based transactions posted within the last 30 days.

CardValet only shows the transactions that are performed with your card. It does not show the transactions that are done on the account without using your card, such as teller transactions or bill pay on an account.

When you log on to the CardValet app, a Balance Inquiry transaction is performed to retrieve and display the balance. A balance inquiry is performed on every account listed in the cardholder record. The app will not initiate more than one balance inquiry within 30 minutes even if you press the Refresh button.

Your balance will be updated to reflect teller transactions if the account processor supplies the updated balance. The balance is updated the next time you log into CardValet.

With a fixed rate loan, the interest rate stays the same over the life of the loan. If you are committing to a forever home, a fixed rate may be the best option.

An adjustable rate mortgage has an interest rate that is fixed for a specific amount of time, then will go up or down based on an external financial index. This is a good option if you plan to sell your home before the rate becomes variable.

Once pre-qualified, you’ll know how much you are eligible to borrow, thus making your shopping easier. Sellers also appreciate pre-qualified buyers.

An appraisal is a property valuation completed for a fee by a licensed or certified, third party professional. It is based on the opinion of the appraiser with respect to the market value of the property being considered.

• You are interested in a lower monthly payment
• You would like a lower interest rate
• You would like an adjustable rate or a fixed rate
• You want to refinance for a higher mortgage to pay off debts or obtain cash
• You want to change the term of your current mortgage

An appraisal will be needed in almost every situation.  The market value of the home you want to purchase is set by the appraisal.  We need to be sure that the house is worth what you are requesting for a loan as it is the collateral for the loan.

Yes, as an applicant, you are given copies of all completed appraisals on the property of interest.

Market value is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a property and the amount a seller is willing to accept for a property in the marketplace. An appraiser will give his opinion on the market value of a property.

Comparable sales are used by appraisers to determine an accurate property market value. They are properties that have recently sold with qualities similar to the property under consideration. The appraiser is responsible for choosing properties that best reflect the local marketplace and closely match the desired property.

For a mortgage, the funds are available when you close your loan. For a refinance or home equity line of credit, funds are available on the fourth business day after signing the loan documents. There is a three day waiting period when you have the right to revoke your application.

An interest rate is comparable to a fee for borrowing the funds disbursed by a loan. The APR (annual percentage rate) is the total fee including interest, points and bank fees expressed in an annual rate.

Pre-paid interest is interest paid in advance. It is the daily interest cost that begins accumulating on your loan closing date until the end of the month of your closing.

You are responsible for this amount at closing as your first monthly mortgage payment will consist of the full month’s interest of the month prior to your first payment. For example, let’s say you closed your loan mid-January.  If your first payment is due March ^1st, that payment will include the interest for February. As interest is standardly paid in arrears, rather than having a first payment that includes a month and a half interest, we collect for the partial month at closing.

You are responsible for the closing costs at the closing of your loan. Often, the seller is asked to cover a portion and you will need to cover the balance (or the full amount depending on the offer made by the seller). You can speak with your Loan Officer regarding these costs as there are times when they can be absorbed into the total loan amount.

These are costs to you for completing your loan. They can include title insurance fees, attorney fees, pre-paid interest and documentation fees. Additional fees are possible based on the specifics of the individual customer.

We provide a Loan Estimate explaining your closing costs during the application process. After approval and before closing, we will provide you with a Closing Disclosure. This document details all of the costs, credits and fees required to complete the entire loan process.

• Principal and Interest
• Mortgage Insurance (if required, often called PMI)
• Real Estate Taxes and Insurance

Most often, some form of down payment is required. Heartland Bank offers low down payment options for several mortgage programs. Program qualification depends on each individual situation and your needs.

PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance. It is usually required if you have less than a 20% down payment on your new property.  The monthly payment for this insurance is usually included in your monthly payment.  This can often be dropped when the lender is comfortable with the amount of equity achieved over time.

If this is your first mortgage, Heartland Bank can lock-in your interest rate once your loan is approved. Speak with your loan officer for specific details.

LTV means loan-to-value. This is calculated by dividing the mortgage amount by the property’s market value. The ratio is used to determine if PMI is required and can be used in figuring your interest rate. The market value used is the lesser of the appraisal value versus the purchase price.

Ultimately, this is determined by the appraisal.  However, you could check online real-estate resources to verify what homes in the neighborhood are selling for.  It is also possible to check local auditors' websites for recent tax information.

First, we recommend that you consult a tax advisor with questions on whether the mortgage interest will be tax deductible in your specific situation. The interest may be tax deductible, but each situation is different and must be addressed as such.

Our underwriting department will look at:

• Property value
• Credit history
• Credit score
• Your debt-to-income ratio

• Credit history and credit scores
• Daily changes in the market
• Specific individual qualifications
• Purchase or refinance
• Value of the property
• Mortgage amount

Escrow, for mortgage purposes, is a holding account with us for your taxes and any insurance premiums, including homeowner’s, flood and PMI.  It is an account where we will hold what we collect monthly to fulfill the above mentioned payments. Your annual payments for the taxes and insurance is divided by 12 and added to your monthly principal and interest amount. On their respective due dates, we will send these payments on your behalf, thus relieving you of this worry.

Escrow is not always required. Again, it often depends on:

• Loan program chosen
• Down payment amount

• Real estate taxes  
• Required insurance premiums (homeowner’s, flood insurance and/or PMI)
• Does not pay association fees, non-required insurance premiums, additional tax bills or any taxes that are non-real estate unless included on your real estate tax assessment.

Your homeowner’s insurance company will provide figures for insurance costs. For the tax portion, we will estimate the annual taxes bases on the most recent tax documents available for the property.

We will complete an annual review of the Escrow based on the anniversary date of your loan, unless we, or you as the customer, believe that there will be a significant change in the amount due, at which time we may complete a review before the anniversary date. If there are increases/decreases to taxes or insurance, we will notify you with an Escrow Account Disclosure Statement reflecting any changes.
