Electronic Fund Transfers

Your Rights and Responsibilities

Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund Transfers we are capable of handling, some of which may not apply to your account. Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future reference.

Electronic Funds Transfers Initiated by Third Parties

You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic funds transfers between your account and the third party’s account. These transfers to make or received payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example, your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and bank information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your bank and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic funds transfers. Examples of these transfers include, but not limited to:

PREAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S LIABILITY

Liability for failure to make transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

  1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  2. If you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the credit limit.
  3. If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
  4. If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
  5. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  6. There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

CONFIDENTIALITY

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

  1. where it is necessary for completing transfers; or
  2. in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
  3. in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
  4. as explained in the separate Privacy Disclosure.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS

  1. Consumer liability.
    • Generally. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or personal identification number has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 2 business days, after you learn of the loss or theft, of your card and/or personal identification number, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or personal identification number without your permission.

      If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or personal identification number, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or personal identification number without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

      Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, personal identification number, or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

      If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
    • Additional Limit on Liability for Debit Card. Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen Debit Card. This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions, to transactions using your Personal Identification Number which are not processed by VISA® or to commercial cards.
  2. Contact in event of unauthorized transfer.
    • If you believe your card and/or personal identification number has been lost or stolen, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure. You should also call the number or write to the address listed in this brochure if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission

CONDITIONS ON USE OF THE CARD

When you want to use your card to purchase goods or services from a merchant or to make a cash withdrawal from a financial institution, such merchant, company or financial institution may be required to obtain authorization for transactions over a certain dollar amount. As a security measure, we limit the amount, which may be withdrawn from your account by use of the card over certain periods of time. We may otherwise limit the use of your card at our discretion, and the privilege of using your card in no way constitutes an absolute right to withdraw funds from your account through the use of your card. If a transaction is approved, we reserve the right to, place a hold on your account, or your card, for the approved amount. This means we may not approve subsequent transactions, and we may not pay other items drawn on your account even if the approved transaction is not completed. We will have no liability to you if, as a result of holds placed on your account when we approve any authorized use of your card, we refuse to pay any check, draft or other item drawn on your account. We will also have no liability to you if we do not authorize your use of the card for any reason.

OVERDRAFTS

The card is not a credit card. If any sales draft originated by the use of your card results in an overdraft of your account, you will be notified and you agree to make immediate payment to us of the amount of such overdrafts together with such insufficient funds change and/or daily overdraft service charge as set forth in the account terms for your account or Retail Pricing Guide. Card privileges will be revoked if your account is overdrawn for 30 consecutive days. If you have overdraft protection, payment of overdrafts will be subject to the terms of the overdraft protection account agreement.

CLOSED ACCOUNTS

You agree to pay us immediately for the amount of any sales drafts, originated by the use of the card, which cannot be charged to your account because it is closed or the funds are otherwise unavailable for withdrawal. In which event, you also agree to immediately discontinue use of your card and return the card to us.

CANCELLATION

We may refuse to issue a card and we may revoke your card privileges with or without cause or notice, other than that required by Federal or State law. Your card at all times remains our property and may be repossessed by us at any time. Upon cancellation of cardholder privileges, you must surrender the card to our authorized agent or us. You agree not to use or attempt to use an expired, revoked or otherwise invalid card. If the card is used other than as permitted by this agreement, we may, at our option and without waiving any rights recognize the transactions and debit or credit your account accordingly. The cancellation of card privileges, by you or by us, does not affect other rights and privileges under the account terms for your account.

MISCELLANEOUS TERMS

  1. We have no liability or responsibility if, for any reason, the card is not honored by any merchant, company, financial institution or other business establishment.
  2. The account terms governing your checking account and savings account will continue to apply to any of your obligations to us and our responsibilities to you, which are not covered by this agreement.
  3. The term "sales draft" as used herein means the document (paper or electronic) approved by us for use when a transaction is originated by a card.
  4. We may rely upon your address, appearing on your application for the card, until we receive written notice of a change in address from you.
  5. We may modify or amend this agreement, in whole or in part, upon reasonable written notice in compliance with Federal laws or regulations.
