The following information is copied from the Hawthorne Management site and provides information regarding the fees to use their payment system.
Pay Dues or set up and adjust future automatic payment routines online directly via ACH/eCheck, Debit Card, Credit Card or PayPal. Similar to most non-profit groups, homeowners associations cannot afford to absorb credit card and other electronic payment processing fees. PayLease, a third party payment processing group is used and charges the following fees to assist your community with processing the payments. In addition to processing a current payment due, future recurring payments for assessments can be set up to automatically occur. Payments can be processed by telephone for an additional $9.95 charge by calling PayLease Customer Support at 1-866-729-5327.
Payment Options
ACH/eCheck $1.00
Visa/Mastercard 2.95%
Discover/AMEX 2.95%
PayPal 2.95%
“The fee is equal to the rate indicated multiplied by the assessments/dues charges being processed.”
The maximum transaction amount for ACH/eCheck is $7,500.00.
OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT:
Your bank’s online bill pay system – Many owners use their bank’s online bill pay feature to pay routine bills. Banks process and send these payments to larger, well known and frequently used recipients like the power company, cable providers, credit card companies and others ELECTRONICALLY via ACH. These electronic ACH payments are received instantly by the larger groups without delay. Banks do not send payments electronically to smaller, less recognized groups such as the XYZ Homeowners Association. Instead, a physical, PAPER CHECK IS PROCESSED and placed in the US mail adding additional time to the process. For this reason, owners paying dues through their bank’s online bill pay feature should allow additional time and be aware that the date the bank shows “paid” or “received” is in most cases the day a check was placed in the US mail and sent off to smaller groups like homeowners associations.
Regular US Mail – Submit payment using return payment coupon provided. Please make checks payable to your community association. Be sure your physical address in the community or account number are included and mail to P.O. Box PO Box 844692 Boston, MA 02284-4692
