Bellingham Yacht Club Auto-Pay Arrangement Enrollment Form
The club has set up a mechanism to allow members to pay their member account balances including bar tab, club store purchases, event payments, and certain other payments by an Electronic Funds Transfer from their bank accounts (also known as Auto-pay or ACH). In addition payment of expenses incurred by a member on behalf of the club would also be reimbursed through the same process. This should be a valuable benefit to members as there will be no more checks for members to write, mail or deposit, and it will reduce the workload on accounting and event planning volunteers.

If you choose to enroll, at the end of each month you will receive an invoice for your Member Account via email from accounts@byc.org which will detail your charges. You will have at least 2 weeks to review the invoice and make any inquiries regarding the charges thereon. Then on about the 15th of the month, your checking account will be charged for the amount of the invoice.

To enroll please fill out the following information:

I acknowledge that Bellingham Yacht Club may initiate an auto-payment from my bank account of record to satisfy monthly charges to my BYC Member Account. I agree to pay any and all charges which occur as a result of insufficient funds in my account and to notify accounts@byc.org of any change in bank information or email address.
