Commonly Asked Questions
NBS specifies the date each payment will occur but it is your financial institution that determines the time of day the payment is debited. NBS recommends you check with your financial institution to determine how far in advance funds should be deposited into your account to ensure the automatic payment clears. If a payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment will be attempted the following business day.
Once your agreement is posted to the NBS system, you will receive a confirmation notification of your payment amount by email or letter. Payments will be processed until the total balance is paid in full. The notification has important information you must have to log on to My NBS Account. The notification also serves as a reminder that a $15.00 per quarter nonrefundable NBS Enrollment Fee will be processed from the account indicated on the agreement.
In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of your NBS agreement, payments are processed electronically only. NBS does not accept payments by phone.
To help protect your privacy, NBS asks the person responsible for the payments to create an access code. If you should call into NBS inquiring about your NBS agreement or inquire online through My NBS Account, you will be required to verify your NBS Access Code. If you do not create an access code on your NBS agreement, one will be randomly assigned to you. Your NBS Access Code will be identified on your NBS Confirmation Letter. Please remember to keep a copy of your confirmation letter.
