More than one authorized user may be added. Once they have been set up in eServices, they will receive an email with their User ID and a separate email with their temporary password. You can also follow the instructions provided in the tutorial under the eServices webpage located in our menu to the left. (top)

I am trying to make an ACH (electronic check) payment on eServices and I am getting a message that states 'Invalid Routing Number’ or ‘There was an error validating your bank information. Please verify your routing and account numbers and try again’. What does this mean?
If you receive one of these error messages, please verify with your banking institution that your Routing ID and Account number are correct and that the account will accept ACH debits. If you are using a new bank account, you may need to wait 10 days for your bank to verify that your bank account information is valid. If you continue to experience issues, please contact our office.(top)

Check that you have 'pop-up blockers' turned off and if this does not remedy the problem, try using a different web browser. If you are using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and are having difficulty, try using Internet Explorer. Also, if you are using an iPad you may have difficulty if you are using Safari. Try using one of the other web browsers available to you. (top)
